Well, not exactly, but there so many similarities that you could almost imagine that FFV was FF1 rethought and with many additions (I guess some exclusions as well)
Note, for example, that the four crystals seal an evil in the center of them and the world.
That's the FF1 Temple of Fiends situation.
ExDeath, like Chaos, is bringing on a Void! It is the same enemy. In other games, the final boss is seeking power more than actual void or chaos. But ExDeath/Void and Chaos are both named for what they are bringing about.
They are brought forth by the same reason.
FFV does lack the four fiends. Which is a big role in FF1, so, uh... But even still, there are monsters involved in causing the destruction of the crystals.
Hmmmm... Well, there are a whole lot of differences, but certain concepts at the heart of the plot seem very similar.
Anybody up for debate? Has anybody else noticed these or other similarities? Does anybody care?!?!?!
And is this in the right forum?
