Where were you when it got revealed that Noctis, aka current gen Lightning, is just a recycled character from Pandora's Tower on the Nintendo Wii?

Is this peak asset flipping? just changing a protagonists hair and then later having to remaster it for a new console generation?

>Game developed by Ganbarion and published by Marvelous

>Squeenix "recycles" a character because they totally have the assets and the rights

What a completely fucking retarded theory, OP.

Everything is owned by the KADOKAWA cartel in Japan, anon. Even your underwear.

>Implying Ganbarion is involved with Square.

There is such a thing as similar designs between unrelated works, but do a bit of research first.

This is the most retarded theory I've ever read but along with >>14655872 you might want to check FF13-Versus and the date it was revealed.

Shit thread aside, is that game good? Is it worth emulating?

Heard good stuff about it myself, but apparently the NA version is bugged.

They were recycling Gackt since '99.

Op is underage.

You do realize that Noctis is lifted directly from Versus XIII right?

They both have an incredibly common j-pop hairstyle, other than that I'm not seeing the similarity.

But anon, that's the "generic anime look"

Anonymous 04/17/18 (Tue) 16:56:40 213300 No.14656913

That's just the generic fujobitch bait look that most animu men have these days, you idiot. It's like the dumbass hotblooded underdog protagonist with spiky hair from a decade or two ago, or any generic anime MC with the generic anime MC haircut and face that is now slowly being phased out by fujoshit designs. It's generic, but it isn't asset flipping.

Shit, you mean two anime designs look similar?

How is Pandora's Tower anyway?

This. And technically this can be traced to even earlier than this in Shoujo/Otome circles. 99 was when it went mainstream

Would also like to know this. I'd hope it was good after the autism people went through to get it to come west.

It was one of the many games that Operation Rainfall begged Nintendo to bring to Western audiences, it's pretty good game, one of the dev's only original games(They are an IP game factor for One Piece and ect) pretty good voice actors they got.

It's gimmicky action platformer with light RPG elements.

It looks nice for its console and has interesting premise, but gameplay-wise it's not very good.

This.

And Square have no talent left on the company. They probably steal everything from others.

Squall is explicitly River Phoenix, not Gacht.
