Final Resident Evil 4-8 Fantasy

[Steph]

Flipping through my new Game Informer magazine I noticed a preview for Resident Evil 4. I was shocked by the character's handsome features.

Anyway, has anyone noticed this little tidbit of deliciousness -

Resident Evil 4's character is 'Leon'.
Final Fantasy 8's character is 'Squall Leon' and in Kingdom Hearts his name is just 'Leon'

*Gasps in saracatic way as dramatic music plays*

Now the part that mystifies and confuses is. . .

They BOTH wear a black jacket with the little white, feathery collar around. And their hair is some what similar. Am I just an idiot and missed something or am I just crazy?

Thanks and let me know what you think! ~^_^~

leon is returning from re 2. i don't know which came out first re 2 or ff 8, but you should judge it off that. besides, it's gonna suck that the game is only on GC, i'd say capcom would loose tons of money offf it but i'm sure nintendo threw millions at em just to get the franchise on it's system. eithere way the game isn't gonna sell as good as if it was on just ps2, or on all systems (we can dream damnit)

Only if you don't have one. :D (Hugs his Cube.) And it's not going multiplatform: Capcom has said that of all the GCN exclusives they revealed at the press conference last year, only RE4 is guaranteed to remain GCN exclusive.

Steph: Now that you mention it...they DO look WAAAAY too much alike! :eek::eek: It never would have occured to me, I've A) Never really played FFVIII, and B) That wicked awesome bomber jacket distracted me.

RE 2 came out in January '99 and FF VIII came out in September '99, just in case anybody wanted to know. RE 2 came out first, but the difference isn't great enough for FF VIII to have been influenced
