| Lopen 11/13/19 8:41:07 PM #389: | What makes something a character? Is it a name? Is it dialogue? Is it a unique look? Are Mog's moogle buddies in FFVI not characters because there are like 10 of em and they look the same? The Red Mage can be named, just like any other main character in a FF game. There are a defined four warriors of light in the story of FF1. It's not like a later game where you can swap classes on the fly or they modify an existing character. The Red Mage is what the Red Mage is and can't change. What little lore the game gives you in the form of art and whatnot highly implies no repeats too-- repetition is possibly mechanics. Of course that means two of the six are "non canon" warriors but that's okay, they're still characters. But I would say he's more of a character than Warrior of Light because he's more distinctive, personally. Back in the NES days design was everything. I personally think the Red Mage is more of a character than like, Josef, to be quite blunt, given the tools to work with on the NES I could tell you more about what the Red Mage is about than Josef. Not to run down FF2, but yeah. Warrior of Light is just Josef with a voice actor in terms of being memorable. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! ... Copied to Clipboard! |
