You haven't presented a very coherent argument, though. I mean, trying to equate magicite with the Force is reaching a bit.

Ok you win on that one I was just trying to put together the stuff that makes you very powerful from the 2 stories, but they come from very different sources so ok I was reaching a bit...

As much as Khuutra is trying to argue against it, I felt like I was playing Star Wars. My friend that played it, felt the same as I do.

I'm not saying that's proof that the story was ripped off from Star Wars. I mean many storys follow the Monomyth. But, with so many characters being so similar, you can't help but be reminded of Star Wars constantly in the game.

Just about every great story of the past "x" years is borrowed or adapted from mythology or fables that preceded it.

Balthier fulfilling the role of the Rogue and Basch being the Knight doesn't really mean that the cast is much like Star Wars, either.

(please do not compare Ashe to Leia, the only similarity between them is that they are Princesses at the beginning of the story)

Yeah and Star Wars is a rip off of Akira Kurosawa's "Hidden Fortress" and the Jedi are based off of the Samurai caste, ect,ect. I'm sick of you fucking Star Wars faggots thinking everything springs from Luca's shit-piece of a movie series. Fuck off and get laid basement dweller.
