Title: how many references in FF13 can YOU spot?
Post by: SentinalBlade on March 17, 2010, 06:39:39 pm
if anyone has played 13, and 7, they probably noticed a HUGE amount of things based off of it..im only in chapter 5...but within 2 chapters i noticed
You start off with a silent-soldier with a bad attitude Your partner is a black guy your partner is a black guy with guns The first battle is practically the same as the first boss in 7(the scorpion thing. only it looks cooler and shoots the laser out of its mouth, not the tail)
When Hope's mom dies, and snow grabs her hand, its like when tifa grabs clouds hand, but cloud falls onto Aeris's flower bed, and snow falls down, as well as Hope's Mom
After that last one, the boss you fight IMMEDIATLY after, with Lightning and Sazh, is the boss you fight in final fantasy 7 that explodes and CAUSES the above similarity to take place.
anyone else care to put in some similarities/bases or anything?

I'm not sure "references" is the right word.
Perhaps "recycled material to avoid thinking up anything new" would be a better fit?
Or, as I expressed in the other topic, "regurgitated shit?"
lolololoooooo I'm so filled with hate.

Wasn't lightning supposed to be a female cloud from the beginning?

In terms of references to other FF games, and not necessarily VII:
The Airship Lindblum refers to the city Lindblum in FFIX. The Airship Palamecia refers to Emperor Mateus' stronghold in FFII. Nautilus is referred to as the 'city of dreams', much as the city of Cornelia was in FF1. The Sunleth Waterscape's weather changing reeks of Giza Plains in XII, also.
There were a few others but I can't remember them now. I'll post them as I remember them.

Snow stole Seifer's Coat. Fang is a badass Rinoa, so to speak. Lightning IS female Cloud, except more sensitive since shes female. Proud Clod (or something) is a giant robot you fight as a boss with someone piloting it, same thing is 7, except color change and modes (it still has lasers though). Army of One is basically Omnislash (or Lionheart, Squall's Ultimate) Cold Blooded is basically Anger Max (Unger Max in the US version) Cid (of course, he's everywhere) Chocobos (much the same as 7, in looks, but they act the same as 12)
(A chocobo actually dies, kinda sad)
Behemoths (they look the same as X, but I'm not sure)
All I can think of for now.

There is the fact that Lightning also mentions SOLDIER
The game starts on a train as well..
All I really saw..Probably will find some if I can actually get FF XIII

Not for nothing, but she said soldier.
I keep reminding people who watch that scene that soldier was in fact a word before FFVII used it in all caps.
