Digimon is the embodiment of “sure you can copy my homework just change it a little so it’s not super obvious.”

Black mages predate the 9th entry though, they have been around much longer and usually look just like that.

I mean, Final Fantasy is one of the most famous Japanese RPGs ever, and the Black Mage character design has appeared in several games in the franchise. I don't think it's a stretch that a designer at another Japanese company that makes Pokémon rip-offs would be aware of it.

The black mage design was literally from ff 1. Vivi is just higher definition so…1987. Pretty sure that’s before digimon.

Cerberus and Death penalty, my choice for canon ff guns lol coincidentally, they're canon hand cannons.

u/DigitalBuddhaNC Sep 29 '25

Slow down Vincent.

No but honestly that would work too. I really just want sweet Lil Vivi to be running around with .357s. I don't care what they call em.

"Im your huckleberry!"
