Sephiroth's eighth alt

I think it's supposed to be Aerith. The pants match the color of her jacket, the belts look the same as the ones on her sleeves in FF7 Remake, and the hilt of Masamune is the same color as the Guard Stick. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ender78 (talk • contribs) 09:29, 2021 February 3 

It could be, yes, but you know how we feel about 'could bes' here. Black Vulpine of the 🦊Furry Nation🐺. Furries make the internets go! :3 04:40, February 3, 2021 (EST)

A vast majority of the page is based on "could be"s, to be fair, and so having one more reasonable assumption on the page isn't unreasonable. Grapevine (talk) 01:02, February 10, 2021 (EST)

Robin's alts

Robin's Pink might be a reference to Mae, who has a more pink'ish outfit, which fits better Also Robin's White heavily resembles Leif, who has brown hair and a white/red outfit, and happens to use a magic sword (Light Brand) Blue/Red/Green/Yellow might reference all the types of units in Fire Emblem (Playable, Enemy, Other/NPC, Other Enemy (FE4, FE16)/Partner (FE9)) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Eizzah (talk • contribs) 09:26, February 9, 2021 (EST)

Corrin's 5th alt

If Corrin and Marth have alts listed as resembling the overworld sprites allied and enemy units, is it not just as fitting to describe Corrin's 5th alt as resembling a player unit sprite? Grapevine (talk) 01:05, February 10, 2021 (EST)

Chrom's 8th alt

The color schemes resemble this piece of concept art I found of the FE wiki here. Should we include it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by AgedofallStrings (talk • contribs) 17:52, February 26, 2021 (EST)

Pyra/Mythra's alts

Before the official presentation for these fighters when only Mythra's 5th alt was known, there was a debate in the Xenoblade community on whether the color scheme was based on Weltall from Xenogears or Poppi QTPi from Xenoblade 2. However, in the aforementioned presentation Sakurai simply described the alt as a "dark" skin. If it was intended to be based on Poppi, there was nothing preventing Sakurai from saying so, which means it very likely wasn't and that note should be removed. While it is also not officially confirmed that the alt is actually based on Weltall, if it was then the rights to Xenogears being owned by Square could have affected his ability to state it, so the possibility still exists. Thus, I think it should be listed as "Possibly based on Weltall from Xenogears".

Similarly, their 6th alt, particularly Pyra's, could be a reference to Xenogears (the "gear" or mech that the game is named after), so "Possibly based on Xenogears from Xenogears" could be added for it. Mythra's coloration here might also be referencing Deus from Xenogears, which would match Pyra's theoretical Xenogears scheme.

Pyra's coloration in alt 7 is possibly based on the Monado, though Mythra's seems to have no connection to that. Either of Mythra's 6th or 7th colors could possibly be based on KOS-MOS from Xenosaga, i'm leaning a bit more towards 6 but I can see an argument for either or even neither. Lastly, it's a bit of a stretch but Mythra's 7th alt could potentially be based on Elly from Xenogears, but I can't say so with any certainty.

In alt 8, Pyra's gold coloration might be based on the Zohar as it appears in Xenosaga, while Mythra's silver could likewise reference the replica Zohar seen in the opening of Xenosaga 1.
