Hmmm, I agree too. Altough I never had the pleasance of playing FFI in the NES-version. He looked cooler then when he was advanced. But the FFI Black Mage in both Origins and DoS looked the same. Difference is that he looks different on the "upgrade" now. But the Black Wizard in the NES FFIII look the same, at least I think so, maybe it's just how they would rather like it.
