Two biological experiments walk into a bar...

It sounds a bit weird to be comparing a 2D fighting game to an RPG, but you don’t have to think that hard to come up with a decent list of stuff the Final Fantasy series and Guilty Gear have in common. You’ve got the great plots and characters, the pretty girls in short skirts, the equally pretty guys (sometimes also in skirts), the rampaging

Thank god I wasn't the only one who noticed! 8D My massive-Vincent-fanboy of a friend gradually came to like Sol (having been the wrong side of indifferent) because of said similarities.

Though looks wise, I still believe Vincent is Testament's long lost twin brother. Oh yes.

Should've known I couldn't be the first person to notice. *g*

This amuses me because (not that I don't still have some of my own leftover Vincent fangirl somewhere) I think some of the differences are what I love about Sol the most.

Hm, skinny, long brown hair, have a bit of an effeminate vampire/grim reaper thing going and assorted angsty past stuff about now-deceased females and being made into a monster... yeah, I can easily see that one too.

I've told you how much I love that icon before, right? XD

This icon can NEVER get enough love 8B

See, the main difference with Sol for me is that he's proactive rather than passive. Vincent gets screwed over, he blames himself, angsts a lot, and goes to sleep in a box. Sol gets screwed over, he still kind of blames himself but decides he's going to put all his effort into 'putting things right' and getting even with the guy who screwed him over. They've got pretty similar backgrounds (both of which get screwed over by WRONG GENRE / BADLY THOUGHT OUT SEQUEL-GAMES *still hating on Overture / was bemused by DOC*), but they both have almost totally different ways of dealing with things.

I'm just glad Sol isn't an angsty goth XD;

I would pay money* to see rallamajoop write the fic where Sol is (pretending to be, probably) an angsty goth and Ky finds him and is all preparing for a fight and Sol's like "....my life is a lie" *SIGH* and Ky's like "....who are you and what did you do to So- is that eyeliner?" COME ON

*okay, not really

[kinkgoeshere]

>> I would seriously pay money for that.

.....We see why I never keep a hold of money for very long *sighs*
