Vanille's Summon Gestalt Design

[Damjo]

I thought it seemed familiar....

[fourmlord]

i dont know if its me but i dont see a resemblance... but thats just me.

[Emo Panda]

they're both robots?

[Arashi XIII]

I think they are similar in that both machines have hind-legs, but the resemblance may have been unintentional?

or it could have been intentional and a tribute of sorts.

either way, they're both cool

[Jay_Z]

I'm sure it was meant to be a subtle homage, which is cool, because who can't do with a little more FFVI in their life?

Pretty sure that's about it...

They already stated in an interview that it wasn't meant to look like Magitech armor, but ended up that way out of coincidence.

Honestly, I don't think it looks that similar, beyond being bipedal and robotic.

Nice throwback! The classic FF's don't get enough credit these days. Very much appreciated.

The resemblance is clear. Not only does Vanille's summon resemble Magitek armor, but Terra and Vanille also seem to be making similar poses. Coincidence or intended?

Well there you have it, ladies and gentleman.

[Arashi XIII]

if anything, I thought of Rikku's Machina Maw dressphere in X-2 when I saw Vanille's eidolon *shrug*

they're both the "cute girls" of their respective final fantasy and riding a machine thing, lol.

...but hectancheir (spelling?) is way cooler :3

Exactly, whether it started out intentional or not, after a certain point, they clearly just decided to roll with it.

[Naunen]

So is this thread just about a resemblance?

[Squirrel Emperor]

The only similarity I see is that her summons gestalt mode is on two legs and Vanille has a pose somewhat similar to Terra's.

Well... Terra and Vanille are both female. That's another one.

[Briar Rose]

they have their similarities..., but they're still different from each other
they both look nice anyway

[mastrman]

they do look alittle bit similar but is it me or did they like to stick with dog shaped summons, like it has hind legs, it lets you ride him, i don't know it just reminds me of a dog but it doesn't matter because no matter what this game is going to be amazing

[dablemont]

That wallpaper looks so pretty!
In my opinion, Terra's Amano art doesn't look vulgar like this Vanille's render does. Just my opinion!

[Enigmus]

Gestalt...really. Its clearly a recycled terminology of Emperor Gestahl from FFVI, actually making a refferance to(as mentioned) Magitek Armor.
I personally don't get why, in the newer FFs, each character has 1 distinct Summon creature.

Hope's Summon(IF I saw that correctly) looks like a robot as well...I was on the verge of thinking it might be Alexander, but then that's be a toned-down version considering Alexander was a holy castle....thing. I'm making an emphesis on his size compared to this summon.

FFXIII is futuristic, kind of like VIII...and the end of VII, but it actually lookes like its got mixed elements from X, XI and XII, too; visible in the environments and creatures as well.
