I don't really see the parallels between Dune and FF6, unless you're trying to say the fight over resources (spice, magicite) is similar, which it really isn't. There's basic scifi/fantasy themes they share but that's not strong enough to say FF6 is descended from or even inspired by Dune.

I love both though.

Ehh... I still think Mega Man is a bit of a stretch. FFVII and Eva were definitely taking from the same pool of ideas. Metroid and Ecco the Dolphin steal some of their alien designs directly from Gieger.

But megaman and Astroboy? They're both cute robot dudes, but that's about it. There's a similarity sure, but saying Astro Boy is a big part of the reason MegaMan exists is a stretch.

I think you're confusing possible correlations that could be made between games and things that influenced them. It's certainly reasonable to think that some aspects of Star Ocean were influenced by Star Trek or even that certain aspects of FFVI were possibly inspired by parts of Dune.

Yeah, but Double Dragon was heavily influenced by Bruce Lee movies from the names of the characters themselves (the Lee brothers, Williams, Rowper and Linda) to the fictional fighting style they used (Sousetsuken is based on Jeet Kune Do). Also, Kunio from the Nekketsu series shares his birthday with Bruce.

He's not wrong though. The game idea for Donkey Kong was supposed to be Popeye rescuing Olive Oil, but they couldn't obtain the rights at the time. So they made an original game with Jumpman, Donkey Kong, and Pauline. Keeping the characters of Popeye in mind, it does make sense.

The Warriors never had a series, You're thinking of Renegade, which was the us version of the original Kunio-kun and had a Warriors-like aesthetics for the protagonist and his enemies. Also, see this post (>>2537347) for a list of Bruce Lee references in the series.

Not that guy but here are the similarities I see:

1) Post-golden age civilization
2) Corrino/Gesthal gets overthrown by a duke
3) Paul/Kefka became genocidal nutjobs after OD'ing on spice/magicite.
4) Paul/Kefka absorbs/destroys three major powers--three houses/three gods
5) Paul/Kefka destroys the universe/world
5) Anti-technological and pro-environmental message

8) Sandworm monsters

I don't believe Legend could inspire anything. Probably the most forgettable fantasy movie from its time. All I remember about it is that some ugly elves that work for Satan try to kill a unicorn or something and it has to do with some girl's virginity and Tom Cruise and then she's in hell or something. I don't know, it was so bad I erased it all from my memory apparently. Don't remember how it ended, Tom Cruise probably saved the unicorn and the girl got stuck with the devil.

Berserk definitely inspired FF7 and FFT.

And Mad Max inspired the look of Guts. As well as Kenshiro, and from that extension, as well as Jonathon Joestar.

It's actually pretty amazing what amount of pop culture George Miller had a hand in, by creating that type of movie so early on. And just this year, he made the best movie of his own series. What a fuckin' guy.

Like how Popeye is a plumber who jumps over barrels and powers up with a hammer. Got it.
You're trying to turn a bit of vidya trivia into something it isn't. The original concept of the game didn't have Popeye. The released game didn't have Popeye. Somewhere in between someone though it would be a good idea to make it Popeye themed and that never happened.

When you base your entire argument on a love triangle quote lifted from a wiki you know you're desperate. As I've pointed out, the original game didn't have Popeye. It's a simple damsel in distress concept that uses nearly no other properties from Popeye. How you can continue to argue that Popeye is a big reason Mario exists is a mystery. Well, not really. We all know what spectrum causes it.

I think Capcom lost the license for Astro Boy pretty early on, so Mega Man was mostly an original game with heavy Astro Boy inspiration.

Mega Man X was inspired by Casshern, although I don't think that was ever going to be a licensed product at any point in its development.

I didn't say it was based off of the Warriors series. My wording was a little funny, but I meant to say it was a spinoff of a series inspired by the Warriors.

Double Dragon took what Renegade started and expanded upon it. Both incorporate elements of the Warriors. The influence isn't as pronounced in Double Dragon as it is in Renegade, but it's still there.

The lore that 98.8% of fantasy games has beaten into the ground over and over and over again. I think I've been elved and dwarved enough for FIVE lifetimes, my god. At this point a high fantasy game would have to be an 11/10 for me to have any chance of stomaching it. I think every permutation of high fantasy has been done; in a few months NASA will mathematically prove that nothing more can be done with anything that borrows from Tolkien.
