New Kingdom Hearts character is Sakaguchi's doppelganger

by Griffin McElroy { Oct 15th 2009 at 2:15PM }

Exhibit A: Image, left. The creator of the Final Fantasy franchise, Hironobu Sakaguchi. Observe the slightly arched brow. The dark, even surfer's tan. The exquisite mustache and soul patch combo. The look of general disinterest.

Exhibit B: Image, right. The recently revealed character from Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep, Master Eraquis. Observe the similarly bowed eyebrows. The sun-kissed skin tone. The Guy Fawkes-esque facial hair. The expression of consternation.

What do you think, dearest readers? Is it a cameo, or pure coincidence? We're leaning towards the former. We mean, just look at those eyebrows. Look at them! At the very least, they're identical eyebrow twins.

or, you know, because he is the creator of final fantasy and the one thing that saved squaresoft, so putting him in a game using final fantasy characters would make sense.

Wikipedia says Jan. 2010 for Japanese release. No word yet on American release date.

Some one noticed that you can spell: "I Square" with the letters of Eraquis... so the guy saved Square soft... that means HE IS SQUARE?
