Final Fantasy III and V would also feature the return of "jobs", which could be changed outside of combat.įinal Fantasy VI originally listed each character's job title next to their name, such as Terra being called a "Magitek Elite". This can be clearly seen in the way that each character was totally defined by their role in combat, rather than having any connection to the world around them. The first game in the Final Fantasy series was heavily inspired by Dungeons & Dragons. He wanted to make their battles look as skillful and as cool as possible, which is how he imagined the famous duel looked. Tetsuya Nomura has claimed that the sword duels between Cloud and Sephiroth were inspired by the legends of Musashi and Kojiro.
Musashi won the duel with a wooden training sword, known as a Bokken. He dueled another famous swordsman named Sasaki Kojiro in 1612. Miyamoto Musashi was a Ronin and an expert swordsman, who lived in the late 1500s. One of the main design inspirations for both characters comes from the story of the duel between two real life swordsmen in Japan. Sephiroth was planned to be suffering from Mako addiction and the cause of his madness was the crippling withdrawals that he suffered from the substance. He was originally going to be Aerith's brother, and later, her lover. Sephiroth's physical design mostly stayed the same throughout development, but his role in the story changed a fair bit. The Buster Sword was also more realistically proportioned at one point. Cloud originally had spiky black hair, which eventually morphed into Zack's design.
Cloud Strife and Sephiroth underwent numerous design changes during the production of Final Fantasy VII.
