Welcome to Gaia! ::

Hey, I just thought I'd mention that if anyone is into playing video games, I have found the Final Fantasy IX to be similar in many many ways. I am in no way saying this is a substitute for the Lupin III series, I just thought the similarities were...scary. X3

1. ~ The main character is a thief, who happens to be part monkey...(or in the very least he has a tail.)

2. ~ The thief Zidane is persued by a knight named Captain Adelbert Stiener who looks suspiciously like Zenigata.

3. ~ Amarant is definitely no substitute for Jigen, but his attitude can almost match, not to mention check out that 'eye poking beard'. XD

I had at least 2 more....but it still, may have been a stretch....

heh...just sayin'...

That is interesting. I need to get that game back from my friend. xp

I had a similar thought with Earth Bound some time back. Four main characters, three guys and a girl, one of the guys being the random out of place samurai type guy. I don't remember anything else about the game, though. XD

Yeah, actually that is his name. And yes. Lupin is much much more like Balthier than Zidane.

I'm just a really really big fan of 'pops'. So I really liked Steiner. *lol*

I know it's not that much. I just that I'd make mention of it.
