We all like to be original, right? Different from the others, to be an individual... Well, I always try to do that, anyway. Sooo... I make my character... See noone else like him. Play online for about three days, then I see someone at level 5 who looks exactly like me. About a day or two later, I see someone else who is a considerably low level who looks exactly like me. Then, just cuz' I'm bored, I change my coloration. Everything goes good for a while, then... I see someone who looks exactly like me... Except he's level 100-something. The next day, I see at least three exact clones of me, all at low levels. Am I that influential? I don't think I chose a common scheme, because most HUcast players are tall and skinny, I'm tall and muscular, and I doubt many players would choose the yellow colors... Also, it's disturbing the amount of Sephiroths I've seen. The SSJ2000SQUALLkthxbye amount is thankfully a lot smaller than before, though. I did see a remake of Spike from Cowboy Bebop... That was pretty cool. But I've seen at least 5 different Nei's. And a cloud. And while they all have different names, there's an atrocious amount of HUmars that use white spikey hair, and the white and blue costume. I guess it really shouldn't get on my nerves, but I preferr it when everyone is their own individual... Just something I noticed the other day...

ya the first char i made was a red FOmar with blonde spiked back hair.
and everything was fine for a while surprisingly i saw no one like it.
and then i saw rbf2000, haha it was like the completely accurate exact same person.was kinda funny, but he got corrupted and is ka-putz now.

I made a black RAmar with white hair, I bet there'll be a ton of people like that... I used green for a little bit but it looks crappy.

as long as no one copies my name AND my appearance im none too worried, some hair colors (blue, white, red) are always goin to be common, and some outfits are always goin to be common

as long as my name doesn't get ripped off im fine. theres only so much you can do with creating yr character, especially since each memory card can hold 4 characters yr bound to see some twins...sucks that im seeing a few people with the same name as my girlfriends character 'xxx' shitty thing about that is that ive noticed one or two of them are beggars. hopefully she wont get a bad rep cuz o that.

I don't see too many HUcaseals with the green costume with yellow trim. And I don't see too many RAmarls with the pink outfit and black trim. I think I'm fine for a while.

I ran into another Pixel on the DC versions, but have yet to see another pixelate or Pixel so far.

I guess it's original?

Blue isn't exactly the most colorful cabbage in the patch, if you catch my drift. o.0

Considering it's nearly impossible to be completely unique in Phantasy Star Online, there really isn't a point to dwelling on it. However, I understand the frustration. Customization does go beyond the character creation screen, though, with mags and weapons. Keep that in mind when you see your carbon copy running around you in a lobby. >=D

Well, I think before you can make broad statements about anime you have to have a gigantic amount of exposure, first. ^_^;

What you said is true, though. Nothing remains original forever. So, if I were some of you, I wouldn't bother going out of my way to make sure that I'm not conforming to anyone else. Because, more often then not, you are. ._.' Then again, it doesn't hurt to try...

There's a big difference between seeing someone with the same colors as you, and running into another "Sephiroth" or "SSJTrunks". If you pick a FFVII or DBZ name, you're just another face in the crowd

I saw another HUcaseal with the same colors as me, and didn't think anything of it. But if I ran into another "SiliconX", I might be rather upset http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

Pfft... I made a character named Blue (the guy from SaGa Frontier) a long time ago, back on Version 1 on Dreamcast. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

And it's original, not arigonl or whatever you said. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

Well, there's not too much you can do if you like the way your character looks... I usually have trouble with names, and can understand why people make characters off of whatever popular anime or cartoon or whatnot. Too bad you can't change your name as easily as you can change your outfit... or can you?

I ran into a FOmar that was identical to mine. We had the same outfit, same hair, and same mag. His name was Mimic, which I thought was kinda ironic.

It's really too bad that the androids get the short end of the stick when it comes to designing what they look like. I don't understand why they get about half the options that Numans and Humans get.

I've tried to be original with my Force, but I've started a Ranger that looks like Wedge from FF3.

I have a HUcaseal that has a unique costume. I haven't seen another like me. I wont say which it is, because I don't want clones http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wink.gif.

I think i'm the only one with a RAmar that has the antenna helmet thing. Haven't seen one. But i had to change costume because SPY copied me (j/k he was first).

I just got nidra, and it seems every other force does too. It's kinda depressing, lol.
