Fujin
Wakka and Lulu...FF10 versions of Raijin and Fujin???

Note: If you haven't played FF10, chances are that none of this will make sense to you...On the other hand, if you've played both games, I hope this proves something to you, considering that's it's point. Also, this can be used as Raifuu support. Just read the news about Wakka and Lulu in FFX-2!!!

1.) Appearances: Raijin and Wakka
Both are quite tall and have very muscular builds. Clothing-wise, their styles are very similar (puffy pants and open-chested shirts) If you look past the very different hairstyles, their faces are almost identical. They have the same square face shape, goofy grins, and stubble.

2.) Appearances: Fujin and Lulu
Unlike the Guys, these two are shorter and are not all buff-looking. once you look past the color, their hair is pretty similar in the front in that they both have the bangs-over-left-eye thing going. Once you look past Lulu's makeup and Fujin's eyepatch, their faces are pretty similar, too.

3.) Gestures/Posture: Raijin and Wakka
When I first saw Wakka's victory pose, I was amazed at how Raijin-ey it was. In fact, it WAS a Raijin move. The laughing thingy that he does can be seen performed by Raijin all through FF8. Their postures are both of the happy-go-lucky, chin-up variety. They even run the same way. They both make funny hand movements.

4.) Gestures/Posture: Fujin and Lulu
Though their slight builds suggest weakness, their postures prove otherwise. Both stand quite strongly and pretty provacatively O.o, though it's MUCH more apparent with Lulu. (the low-cut dress helps to show it) They stand with their backs arched, and tend to slightly jut out their hips when annoyed. When reasoning with people, they use their hands to help emphasize what they're trying to say.

5.) Battles: ALL
The guys are both strong physically, while the girls use magic. Both teams have a fighter with a long-range weapon. (Wakka and Fujin) Though Fujin has more potent physical attacks than Lulu does, the fact that she absorbs wind and has her very own windy GF indicates magical strength.

6.) Personalities: Raijin and Wakka
Their personalities can both be summed up quickly. They're both optimistic, loveable oafs whose barks are worse than bites, especially around the two aforementioned ladies.

7.) Personalities: Fujin and Lulu
These two take "more than meets the eye" to a new level. What comes to mind when they first come into their respective games is "SCARY". But, as I said earlier, there's more to it. Both are actually very loyal and caring to those close to them and have strong senses of right and wrong. They try to conceal their emotions and it often comes out as insensitivity. Both abuse the guys in some way or other and have pretty short fuses.

8.) Speech Patterns: Raijin and Wakka
It's obvious that they both have rich accents. Though you can't actually hear Raijin's, you can see it. Also, both end most of their sentences with...stuff... Personally, I see just a SLIGHT similarity between "ya?" and "ya know?", but that's just me. -.-'

9.) Speech Patterns: Fujin and Lulu
Besides what they say, the two have pretty much nothing in common when it comes to their speech. Unless you count the fact that Fujin is normally very proper with her tiny bit of speech, just like Lulu, that theory is shot to bits when you hear...er...see her talk "normally". I found it kind of strange that a militant person like Fujin would use slang when talking in sentences (are ya' still gonna keep going?). Go figure. Still, the speech dilemma is a small difference.

Well, that's about it. If you have anything to add to the list, just send me an E-mail through the "Contacts" section of M-Sri. I hope you found this...thing...nice and informative.
