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)
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
Alt 5 is very likely not based on Poppi at all, notably due to Sakurai not listing her as an inspiration despite doing so for all other alts based on specific Xenoblade 2 characters, as well as details in the alt not accurately matching Poppi's design such as the wrongly colored core crystal. I think the note about the alt possibly being based on Poppi should be removed.
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.

Small correction to the description of Mythra's default alt - the "Massive Melee Mythra" costume is not obtained from the Challenge mode in Xenoblade Chronicles 2 - it can be acquired once Mythra joins the party by visiting Argentum and talking to an NPC as per https://xenoblade.fandom.com/wiki/Massive_Melee_Mythra
