This game has some severe issues regarding wings. Take Sephiroth, for instance - I know his character design was done quite a while ago, but its bizarreness is much clearer with these graphics. First of all, he has one wing on his shoulders. One wing should not be enough to allow him to fly at all; it should be enough to tip him over, but little else. He also appears to have wings sprouting out of his ass. He has ass-wings.
I really don't see why Cloud is describing his hair color and weapons to people; aren't ass-wings much more noticeable? I mean, "silver hair and a long sword" could lead to Ansem being mistaken for Sephiroth having left his sword at home. But how many people have ass-wings?
I could be wrong, of course; maybe ass-wings are very common in the "Kingdom Hearts" world/s. There are definitely a couple other characters with weird wing anomalies. Check out the FFX-2 fairies (which freak me out, by the way). Rikku's wings are made of her scarf. Now, I'm not exactly an expert on knitting, but I've done enough to know that you can't make functioning wings from a scarf.
Yuna, on the other hand, has wings on the end of her ponytail. Her hair has grown so long that it's gained sentience and sprouted its own wings. How the hell does that keep her afloat? Okay, maybe her ponytail could fly, but in reality, it should have her dangling below the ponytail, clutching her poor, aching head while her hair is being torn out by the roots.
But I do love the KHII writers for describing them so, so accurately as them "teenyboppers."
