Out of friendly curiosity, what is your favourite Final Fantasy, Miss Fates?

-Sir Balthier

I'll accept that. xD
FFVI is my favorite, VII ranks 6th on my favorites. FFVI, FFIV, FF Tactics, FFXII, FFIX, FFVII...and others after.

To be back on topic:
I'm waiting to see some more new designs, but nothing has been coming out on Versus or XIII lately, just those transforming Summon-bikes.

I sympathize with you, some people are getting far to upset about something that has been the case for many, many years. Albeit some people like yourself have touched on it, the root of the problem is Nomura. Although I think he is a great artist his inspiration and creative mentality is somewhat stagnant.

If I really wished I could keep making more of these, (and trust me there would be a lot to make), on the similarities of all the characters over the past 10/11 years.

- Hair
- Facial features
- Belts
- Buckles
- Massive swords/keyblades
- etc, etc.

It could take all day to list them all...all Contra (and now myself) are trying to put across is that this is Nomura's work, the XIII characters were always going to be like characters Nomura has made over the years because that is what all his work is like. Nobody is moaning about it but a bit of originality wouldn't go amiss now and again.
