You ever notice that all of the characters from Final Fantasy VII are just amalgamations of anime, manga, and western comic book characters that were topical at the time?

>Cloud is a blonde guy with spiky hair and is a bit of a dork like Vash the Stampede and carries a gigantic sword like Guts.

>Sephiroth is a feminine-looking man with long-white hair who carries a slender sword and became a godlike being with fabulous supernatural power like Griffith and I'm pretty sure his leather outfit is supposed to look like the Crow's or some character from Vampire Hunter D.

>Barret is a big black guy with a vest like Dutch from Black Lagoon but his arm got amputated and he replaced it with an automatic projectile weapon like Guts.

>Vincent has a revolver and a red overcoat like Vash the Stampede, but long, flowing black hair like Vampire Hunter D and his tattered cape bears more than a passing resemblance to Spawn's, as well.

Half of the works you reference FF7 ripping off came out after the full release of the game, let alone the first promotional releases when the project began in 1994. Also Vash, Vincent and characters from Vampire Hunter D are all themselves derivations of Victorian era dress associated with European depictions of vampire hunters.

There's a lot of inspiration there for sure, but GitS does a lot of it's own thing that it's not a copy. Only the implanted memories can be considered a copy.

The cyborgs, the AIs, the corporation ties with the government, refugee crysis, prosthetic limbs effect on the workforce, surfing the web. etc are all elements that do not show up on Blade Runner. The closest you'd get would be Replicants with Cyborgs and that's still comparing an house hold apliance with a human being using prosthetics.

>I don't know what a viking or a berserker are

A berserker is, depending on your historical interpretation, an ascetic shaman who underwent a hermit trial where he lived alone in the woods and eventually skinned a bear, a mercenary that frequently breaks the law by hassling villagers, the champion of a Jarl, or all of these things at different times. A Viking is a coastal raider that believes in a warrior's heaven.

Guts comes closer because he spent at least some time alone in the woods being ravaged by horrors, but Cloud didn't even do that. Neither of them are particularly optimistic about their fighting careers and generally act like sad sacks of shit.

>That is why FF7's cast (except the nigger) is the greatest cast in all gaming.

That really does a disservice for how good Barret was as a character in that game. Plus, Barret has a lot more in common with Guts than just the superficial similarity of them both having arm cannons so I draw comparisons between the two to demonstrate a little bit of how thematically rich he is:

>Both Berserk and Final Fantasy VII begin when Guts' and Barrets' characters are at their most ignoble. The bombing of the Sector 1 reactor is Barret's own Black Swordsman Arc, with him being the leader of a terrorist group who wants to destroy every reactor and does not consider that the hospitals need power and babies that need humidifiers to live might die as a result of his actions, just like how Guts doesn't care if cities burn down to the ground so long as he can torture apostles to death.

>Dyne is to Barret as Jill is to Guts. They're not just kindred spirits but symbols of aspects of their counterparts' developing characters.

>Marlene is to Barret as Casca is to Guts

>Scarlet is Barret's very own Griffith. She was at the town hall meeting to represent Shinra and pitch the construction of the Corel reactor and later became directly responsible for Corel's destruction, the loss of Barret's arm, the death of his wife, and Dyne's feral despondency.

Barret's not just a good character but an indispensable fixture of FF VII's cast.

This can also be seen with how much of the cast of FF6 are just characters from FF6 merged together. Like Cloud is just Terra merged with Celes. (The gruff antisocial soldier type who originally worked for the antagonists with Celes and the amnesiac lost my identity type with Terra).

Square generally reused plot elements throughout their games. Like how 3, 5 and 6 feature a “floating island” you explore at one point.

You know something, Lisa the Painful is a pretty weird game because the guy who made it thought that it would be logical to make the sequel to his previous low-budget Yume Nikki-style adventure game about a girl who's driven to suicide by her sexually abusive father into a JRPG where all of the characters are derivatives of shonen anime he likes.

>Brad is a derivative of Kenshiro from Fist of the North Star and Guts from Berserk because he's a martial artist roaming a post-apocalyptic wasteland full of gangs like the one in Mad Max 2 who can lose up to two arms (like how Guts loses one arm and his eye).

>Marty is retroactively Gambino because he's a negligent drunkard lowlife whose abuse shapes his son into a sullen, depressed, and withdrawn adult.

>Buzzo is a blend of Souther and Jagi.

>Rando is a derivative of Raoh.

>Lisa herself is kind of like Shizu because they both have messy hair.

>Buddy's appearance is reminiscent of Guts because she has one eye, a sword too big for her, and a cloak like the Black Swordsman, himself, except she's an irritating cunt like Isidro.

>The plot of the game is similar to the Last of Us with Rando's army wanting to keep Buddy as a breeder rather than a specimen to be vivisected for a cure (the writers for Last of Us were a little dumb to come up with an interesting and logical conflict for the final set-piece in their game)

>However, the game has more similarities to the novel, Children of Men. In the novel, humanity has mysteriously been rendered incapable of reproduction, roving gangs of spoiled young people make life hell for older adults, and the discovery of a female who's capable of reproduction is a really big deal. There are also no zombies in either that book or this game unless you count the creeps and joy mutants.

>Coincidentally, Lisa the Pointless has a party member named Joel Miller, who shares his full name with the protagonist of Last of Us.

Speaking of Lisa the Pointless:

>Alex Churchland's likeness bears an uncanny resemblance to auteur director Stanley Kubrick

>Joel Miller looks like the singer/songwriter Jim Croce

>the bosses Anaconda Virtue and Silvester de Maistre look like Michael Jackson and Marlon Brando, respectively.

That makes them all shit, not good. Only the original works are good. Homages are passable at best. Derivative works are always shit.

You have some works like Hokuto no Ken, that are an amalgam of homages (Sylvester Stallone fighting like Bruce Lee in the world of Mad Max) that turn into original works by mashing all elements together.

But you have also literal copies of other works, like the cast (and sometimes, the whole plot) from Street Fighter II, Final Fantasy VIII and others, that turn out to be not good at a first glance, and completely shit once you notice that they are just copies of former works.

Not really. He stopped everyone but Legato without killing them. Obviously it only works because he's way better at dodging bullets than everyone is at firing them.

>>16313733

i do kinda like the trope of the hero not killing anyone, because I think it helps convey his/her morality better. On the other hand it's somewhat unrealistic and typically shoehorned in when the hero has spent plenty of time wasting/crippling regular mooks. Getting shot in a non-lethal area or beat up or whatever can still leave some pretty nasty wounds and may cripple the person for life. It's harder to say someone is a paragon of morality when he's left a trail of broken (but living) enemies in his wake.


c939c4  No.16314013

>>16313906

Non-lethal shots are ridiculous too, unless you can stop the bleeding quickly a shot to the shoulder or leg can easily be lethal (which is nicely shown in LOGH when Yang is shot in the leg and the viewer is lead to think he'll make it since it's "just" a leg). In general I don't like the trope, for Vash I think it works but it'd be hard to pull off in a more serious anime/film. Also he doesn't shoot bad guys if he can avoid it, he prefers to be humiliated than shoot someone since he's a hardcore pacifist.

Novelty influences how you experience something the first time but being original is not a prerequisite for something being good, and your attempt to weasel out of it just shows you can't handle the fact that you don't have to be the very first to do something to do it well or even better.

Fuck him. Knives was 100% right from the getgo. Not only is his ideology absolutely correct, but he is also, ironically, less violent than Vash.

This is the first interaction where the brothers fight. Look at how hurt Knives is that his retarded little brother immediately resorts to violence when he can't argue against him. All of their future meeting are founded upon and mere extension of this confrontation. Vash is a hypocritical and stupid shit that caused Knives future rampages, since nothing less than violence will get through his dumb head. He is, objectively and unironically, the single worst thing to happen to that planet. Living a lie of pacifism in obsessive twisted penitence over a dead woman does not justify his bullshit and the ruination he causes. Fuck Vash.

You know something, I think every cute blonde girl who wears red or green is inspired by Roll from Mega Man. Most cases could be chalked up to people just liking cute blonde girls and having the same customary idea of what one looks like but the one character who's obviously derivative of Roll is definitely Curly Brace from Cave Story.

>They're both robots that wear red and green, have blonde hair, and are oversexualized

>they have sweet and charitable (and bland) dispositions

>they have male counterparts with black hair and headgear (Quote has a hat, Rock has a helmet). They also do all the fighting while the girl robots are expected to be homemakers and caretakers.

The hooker from Hotline Miami, while not a robot, looks exactly like Roll and she cleans up and takes care of Jacket's apartment while he is out (I wouldn't expect Jacket himself to help with any cleaning, himself because he is an asshole) like how Roll cleans Dr. Light's lab while Mega Man is out.
