Clearly there is evidence of foul play afoot!

    And I'm willing to bet dollars to donuts that black mage is really blue and those are just yellow gloves he's wearing.

    Actually, that reminds me.

    Final Fantasy 1 was in fact released outside of Japan. It just got recalled. After 500 copies.

    ...and btw, they also released it again for PSX. gg Square(it also includes 2).

    The question still stands though.

    Whoever came first, the other shall be the copier, or should we say....the one inspired by the other?

    Come to think of it....He-Man sort of reminds me of the fighter/knight in FF o_O

    And yes I own FF1 and FF2 on PSX XD
    Sadly I got stuck in some maze-like place in FF1

    He-Man(and the masters of the universe) was out for 4 years before the first FF was ever released.

    Just saying.

    No matter what people say, He-man will always remain a classic to me, but I think everyone takes ideas from other people and improve on them.

    Ah well, at least we know two things Black Mages do that Orgo don't have XD

    1) They come en masse
    2) They backstab
