sorry the scans aren't from me and i haven't found better ones...
Looks like a chocobo got a taste of Rafoie, yet isn't on a Thanksgiving/Christmas Dinner platter yet. O.o
Looks to me more like Sega is taking a good-natured rib at Final Fantasy by making their own "Chocobo-like" creature look extremely stupid and comical.
To me, it looks like the real-world results of the repeated imbreeding you do in FFVII trying to get the Golden Chocobo.
Feed men, and then ask of them virtue!
They're not complete page scans, but Jeux-France has posted four high-quality scans of some of the images from this issue. Aside from the Flowder and Lunga, the main focus in on an enemy called a SEED Vance. Other screens show pictures of SEED's attack on the celebration at the beginning of the game as well as Leogini and Ethan taking on a SEED Vance at the Colony.
It is so NOT a chocobo. Sega has had plenty of animals in their games before. Some you can ride, some you cant. Space Harrier? Panzer Dragoon? Theres a long list. You could say the Runga looks like a dragon but the head & tail very much remind me of various forms of Chaos from Sonic Adventure. Definitely a Sega creation. I love how you can run on it & it breathes what looks like fire. I always wanted an animal you can run on the ground with (other than the dragon) in Panzer Dragoon.
This landrider might be just what I was looking for. I just hope they come in other colors besides pink. The hovercraft Ive seen in now white & blue.
Not a chocobo! It does look sort of like one. But I don't think that chocobo is where ST got the runga idea from. FF isn't the only game that had two-legged creatures that you can ride on. I think it's more original than that. I don't think that just cuz it looks (kind of) like a chocobo that is where ST got the idea for a lunga. FF isn't the only place with creatures like that...
As has been said, other games have unique creatures. Square isnt 'the be all & end all' of RPGs. Just wish ppl wouldnt keep comparing to FF. PSU is gonna take off in popularity. Seeing lackluster sales & thoughts of FF XI, it should just...take off...
I just think that it was a mistake for FF to go online & especially in the way it did. It couldve been so much better. Oh well. Ill stick to PSU & be happy.
