Square Enix’s 2001 CGI Final Fantasy movie, Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within, heavily influenced development of the Mass Effect series, according to BioWare art director Derek Watts.

“Yeah, you know we actually reference a lot from Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within,” said Watts, speaking to the latest issue of Xbox World 360 Magazine. “We used a lot of their GUIs and the way they did their ship – that was kind of like in some of the early designs for the Normandy.

“Our attack helicopters are loosely based off that movie. There’s some great stuff, especially their glowing GUI screens; we used those a lot. I keep a folder of that stuff and I still actually tell the guys ‘just go back and look at that. Change it like that!’” [SOURCE]




Seriously, color me pleasantly surprised :D

i watched my former roommate play through Mass Effect 2, and i really saw it in Shepard's (the protagonist) armor. i've always wanted to play the first Mass Effect, and this is just more incentive, heh.

You can especially see it in the holograms and the ships. Ashley Williams looking like Aki is a new one, though. (Especially since Jane is more her style). o_O
