Since Suikoden's spiritually coming back, is now a good time to ask if it started the visual trend of loads of things flying in by portal spam?
Because that's a pretty big pop culture contribution.
The BoF3 & 4 Ninas also dressed kind of like Vivian and had ear piercings. I'm actually not sure BoF3 Nina had studs outside that group shot, but it helps my case to pretend she did.
Baseless theory: Breath of Fire 4's designs and faces were influenced by Shonen Jump gag manga artist Yutaka Takahashi and especially Majokko Vivian (1996)
@chuckspear Also Nadia and Conan, the latter being a big influence on the other two, making it a genealogy of references going back to Miyazaki.
Ever think about how Demitri's monster form might have been a vampire Oozaru to go with all the other refs?
@Richmond_Lee Robocop 3 might have also had something to do with reanimated cyborgs, sci-fi ninjas, and sultry scientists.
