Anyone notice the similarities in Phantasy Star Universe an

The music in PSU kinda reminds me of SoA at times. Then the atmosphere of certain areas adds to that. For example, in Dagora City on Moatoob, when you're in the TENORA WORKS Shop it really reminded me so much of the shops in Nasrad and Maramba.

The way the main character runs is somewhat similar to house Vyse runs (except of course the graphics in PSU are much, MUCH better). And the gestures the characters make during dialogue also reminds me of SoA.

Ohtoku City on Neudaiz also reminds me of Yafutoma with the Asian inspired town and water-y landscape.

Well SEGA hasn't always been the best in the creativity and diversity departments. :

It's Phantasy Star and Skies of Arcadia at the same time... It's like going to heaven after living a life of sin, only with a metallic maid with a giant sword.

Actually, I think it's a good thing though. I liked that it reminded me of my favorite RPG of all time.

But did anyone else notice this or any other similarities?

One of the SUV weapons looks like a pair of airships imo, and has hatches on top that fire missiles upward, like the torps in Skies.

And certainly Capcom, THQ, Sony, etc. beat them out in creativity and diversity

They haven't either. It is a recurring problem in the videogame industries in these days.

EDIT: Don't get me wrong, I love SEGA. They just aren't the most creative bunch.

Creativity doesn't equal good. Creativity for the sake of being original is as bad as cloning. Besides, let Sega bring a little SoA into it, they made it.

Nothing wrong with a game company putting a little touch of their other older games in new ones.

I was surprised you didn't mention the semi-transparent weapons that change color with element. Cause that's the first thing I thought of when I saw this topic.
