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

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 —Preceding unsigned comment added by AgedofallStrings (talk • contribs) 17:52, February 26, 2021 (EST)
Pyra/Mythra's 5th and 6th 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 a reference to Weltall from Xenogears".
Similarly, their 6th alt could be a reference to Xenogears (the "gear" or mech that the game is named after), so "Possibly a reference to Xenogears from Xenogears" could be added for it.

Pyra/Mythra Alts 6 and 7
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. 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 certainty. Dorotheabestgirl666 (talk) 19:00, March 4, 2021 (EST)
