Silver hair, such a coincidence also aroused resonance and discussion among netizens.

As can be seen in the netizen americanista915’s post on May 5, he combined the observed characters together, and he found it after a closer look!

The netizen VoiceoftheLegion1994 pointed out the possible reasons, and many people agreed with him. He analyzed that Sephiroth may not be the first person to design this design, but he is the most successful one. Therefore, character designers may be subtly affected, or they may deliberately want to replicate a similar successful model, and this interesting phenomenon occurs.

In addition to these characters, some netizens also said that don’t forget Xiangxiang’s 2B in “Neil: Automata”, which can be said to be one of the character settings that players have loved in recent years. Do you still have any impressions of which characters are also a combination of silver-white hair and cold weapons?
