Thread: Has it ever been proven that square actually intended to model Barret after Mr.T

  1. #1

    Default Has it ever been proven that square actually intended to model Barret after Mr.T

    Or is it just a coincidence that he ended up looking like him.

    Has there ever been anykind of official word that they intended when designing Barrett to model him off of Mr.T. Or have fans always just speculated that they intended to.

    They don't look all that similar, really... most of the resemblance comes from their way of talking. It's possible the translators noticed that they look a little bit alike, and decided to use Mr T's gruff yet heartfelt dialogue as a basis for Barret's lines.

    I think it's just a coincidence... if one person can come up with a gruff black guy who talk like this foo then someone else eventually will.

    Wouldn't know. I'm not being racist though, just using a commonly accepted term (as equals, most find the various "politically correct" terms patronising)

    I didn't see Mr. T with a gun in stead of his hand .

    But yes they do look similair, at least to me. When I did the game the first time, I actually named my character BA, after Mr. T's character in the A-Team

    Biggest differenace between Barret and Mr. T are

    Barret= Shoots his gun and hits everything

    Mr. T = Shoots his gun,uzi,pistol,bazooka and anything else and hits nothing

    that would be funny if they did that in the show like FF7 everytime they would miss a shot you would see miss by that bad guy.... you probably wouldn't be able to see anything dureing the shooting scenes because the whole screen would be full with miss miss miss miss miss miss miss miss miss
