-Artemis
Final Fantasy?
I noticed after playing
a few of the games that Many of the PCs and a few of the NPCs follow
the character types from final fantasy, almost so closely that they
even have the same weapon prefences. The following shows the character's
parts in certain games (Note: I only started playing Final Fantasy
a few Years ago so I can only compare with a few games. I'll add
to this as I play more games)
Final Fantasy
FF7
Aerith - Uniqua. Similar appearance and attitude, carries a
staff and is strong in the ways of magic.
Cloud - Artemis. Attitudes are similar, and share the same
preference for Swords. As the center of a similar love triangle.
Tifa - Jenna. While not as loud, personality is very much
the same, and she enjoys using her claws.
Barret - Miguel. Loud, somewhat crude and more then a little
fixated on guns, and while can use magic now little about it.
Nanaki - Red. Very much the same type of beast(ie: not a
beast at all), talks like him too, although only art knows that.
Yuffie - Calli. Hyperactive prankster who keeps getting into
trouble. Also I'm sure calli would love Yuffie's weapon.
Vincint - Kineko. Okay, so they're not the same gender, but
they both have their own agenda and could care less what the group
does.
Cid - Flip. Obsessed with flying and always seen smoking.
And the base ball bats sorta like the spear...
FF8
Zell - Mordred. A little cocky and way to willing to fight
FF9
Steiner - Joshua(i'm getting hurt for this one) Strong, brave,
and propper to a fault
Flamming Amarent - Rider. Difficult, needlessly phyisophical,understands
nothing and you never see his face.
FFX
Lulu - Trisha. Well, personality isn't so much the same,
except maybe the introverted behavoir, but they have the same body
type.

Game Quirks
Polygamy is
as common than monogamy.
Magic CAN do anything.
Creative descriptors next to one's name make the game more
fun.
Both DigiChat and Volano are terrible chat services in their
own special way.
The NPC with the most absurd bonuses will invariably botch
in face of the leader of the group, thus ensuring her eternal dominance.
Wives and girlfriends tend to get copied or cloned somehow...(and
is usually the reason for polygamy)
Most of the actual action in the game takes place away from
the terrible chat services. This is great because it means they're
not over a terrible system. Bad because you wish you could see the
cool role-playing that nets Artemis near 1000xp per session.
Uniqua appears to suffer from narcolepsy(due to her players
sometimes sporadic schedual)
Art avoids kineko's ship because it causes his face to
hurt...
If a new player joins the group care of plot hole they
will be instantly accepted, if they just walk up they will be viewed
with suspicion and sometimes hate.
Not having a sense of humor can get you killed, or atleast
bored...
Any vehicle that doesn't hover or is small enough to be stored
is a paper weight
Technology is not weak or unwanted, just overlooked.
