Line 477:
*** Lulu may be snarky, but is an incredibly good and ethical person. Morrigan is the [[Token Evil Teammate]] whose wanton cruelty has become something of a meme. Their roles in plot are dissimilar, their dresses are only similar in color (Morrigan's far more revealing and "rag-like," Lulu's elegant), and Morrigan is revealed to be quite an insecure, unworldly character compared to Lulu. Lulu openly is affectionate to people besides Tidus and is loyal to the central characters; Morrigan clearly has her own agenda. And the right answer is [[wikipedia:Morgan le Fay|Morgana]] or [[wikipedia:Medea|Medea]] or [[wikipedia:Circe|Circe]] or any number of the other inspirations for [[Hot Witch]], [[Dark Magical Girl]], and related tropes. This archetype is way too common for this comparison.
* ''[[Tales of Legendia (Video Game)|Tales of Legendia]]'' features the Oresoren, who are intelligent fuzzy creatures who are good with machines and have a [[Verbal Tic]]. Anyone familiar with ''[[Final Fantasy]]'' would recognize them as being similar to Moogles. It might be a coincidence... until you realize that one of the most significant Oresoren is named "Quppo", pronounced exactly the same as the verbal tic of the Moogles ("kupo").
* ''Human Grand Prix'' for the Nintendo 64 didn't have the rights to use the actual names of drivers, meaning that the game was filled with drivers with names such as Hamon Dill<ref>Damon Hill</ref>, Schael Mihumacher<ref>Michael Schumacher</ref>, Babens Rurrichello<ref>Rubens Barrichello</ref>, Hohnny Jerbert<ref>Johnny Herbert</ref>, Hika Makkinen{{hottip|*<ref>Mika Hakkinen}}</ref>, Lean Ajesi<ref>Jean Alesi</ref> and Vacques Jilleneuve<ref>Jacques Villeneuve</ref>, among others. This was rectified for the US/European version of the game, ''F1 Pole Position 64'', which had the actual racer names.
* ''Cannon Spike'''s playable roster is composed almost entirely of characters from existing Capcom properties. The sole exception is Simone, who is just a hairstyle and a slight wardrobe change away from being Lieutenant Linn Kurosawa from Capcom's ''[[Alien vs. Predator|Alien Vs. Predator]]'' arcade game, whose ownership is apparently tied up with [[Twentieth Century Fox]].
* The ''[[World Heroes (Video Game)|World Heroes]]'' series has quite a few. Kim Dragon is a blatant clone of Bruce Lee. There's also a professional wrestler named Muscle Power who looked ''exactly'' like [[Hulk Hogan]] in his first appearance. They shaved off his mustache in the console releases of the first game and all the sequels, presumably so that Hogan wouldn't get any ideas about suing ADK.
