I mean, they were always aping something though? Replaying FF7 I realized, at its core, it is just a mismash of 80s horror movies.
Still love it, but its interesting to notice in retrospect.
- chongli 3y agoBefore FF7 they were aping fantasy tropes. This is fine if you're making a fantasy game! Though my favourite game in the series is 6 which adds steampunk to the mix but without being overly self-conscious about it.
- marricks 3y agoTotally. And FF7 was new (to me at least) in what it aped so it's all fine and cool.
- bitwize 3y agoWith a heavy dose of Blade Runner too. Sephiroth is pretty much gaming's Roy Batty. The dynamic between him and Cloud is even very close to that of Batty and Deckard. It's ok though, in the 90s, homaging Blade Runner in Japanese media was a total belt onion -- something people did because "it was the style at the time".
