Interest Stacks

Huge influence on all the characters in legend of the dragoon, especially kongol(cassius) and kain the dragoon from final fantasy 4 and probably the whole game and many others.
FF6 takes the "dead relative in a sunken ship" directly from this

Heavily influenced megaman legends. Can be said to have influenced ico and lunar as well

Heavy influence on grandia in too many ways

Word of god influenced grandia stated by creator

Heavily influenced the character roll from MML. Pokemon(anime) team rocket also

Lunar and Denji Sentai Megaranger

Persona has always been influenced by jojo but this one definitely influenced persona 4 the most.
Also Legaia 2 blatantly rips off stands

Devil may cry

suikoden and gintama

Wild arms and maybe games like brigandine

Every character that has spiky hair(ffvii, etc)
most fighting games

Everything

Every character that has a huge sword (ffvii, Valkyrie profile, etc)

Big guy and rusty, megaman, and many, many american comic references

Arc the lad. Maru=Usopp

Megaman, metal gear rising revengeance

Every season has more and more references to wild arms

*The manga
(devil may cry, tekken and any other videogame where tranforming into a monster is their special ability)

Castlevania

FFVII shinra soldiers look exactly the same.
Resident Evil 2 probably got the eyeball on the shoulder from this.
