So Luneth...

[Makoeyes987]

Would it make sense to say the Onion Knight is Luneth? Do their personalities match at all?

Since Luneth is a pallete swap of Onion Knight in Dissidia...and the Onion Knight in Dissidia has no name or real identity, would replacing him with Luneth make any sense at all? Do their personalities match or is it just..not there?

I'm just curious, since apparently Luneth is Onion Knight's alternate look, and I see a lot of fans refuse to just call Onion Knight by his title, and opt to call him Luneth.

It should also be noted that in the Dissidia Ultimania, where they showcase the references and connections to the original game and plots, in screenshots that show the Onion Knights in battle, they're named Luneth, Arc, Refia, and Ingus.

He actually DOESN'T match Luneth. For two major reasons.
1- Luneth is actually a rather brave and somewhat headstrong individual, not the type to 'run away, live another day' as OK begins as. He's also much less prideful in his language.
2- Luneth is several years OLDER than Onion Knight.

So if Luneth is OK, then he's OK post Dissidia, since he shares the personality that Onion Knight grows into, rather than starts out with.
Still doesn't explain his sudden drastic change in hair and eye color, though, though puberty COULD.

If people wish to insist they are the same, one could fit things into that explanation, but only with the odd prequel caveat.

And even then, OK being Arc would make a bit more sense, being the bookish but timid type, though that, again, does not match his personality as expressed.

Personally, in this case, I hold a sort of 'many worlds' type of thing, one in which the OK fall into the well as a group, and the other where Luneth alone falls in.

Or one COULD say that OK is an amalgamation of the personalities of the four characters of the remake, since he seemed to be an awkward pastiche of all of their attributes.

Yeah, I agree. Luneth isn't the type who'd run away, and back down from a challenge from ExDeath when he needs to protect his friend. And yeah, he didn't come off as a know-it-all brat.

Luneth is older though? You sure? I don't know if we have an exact age given for Onion Knight but...Luneth does ACT older, that's for sure.

LOL good point.

Now I haven't thought of that. That's a good point.

On another note...Warrior of Light. Do you think Warrior of Light is like "Fighter" from 8-Bit Theatre?

I'd say no to Luneth being Onion Knight if for no other reason than the idea of Luneth having the voice that Onion Knight does makes me sick to my stomach. :/

I'll double check, but I do note that the 4 all LOOK significantly older in their CG renders, and IIRC the dialogue was changed slightly.
In any case, the DS quartet are obviously pubescent, and OK is decidedly prepubescent.
Alternately than a young Luneth, he could just be a brash, young Ingus. He doesn't look perfectly like Ingus, but certainly a LOT more than he does Luneth.

Now I haven't thought of that. That's a good point.

Sort of like all their bad aspects rolled into one. Brash Luneth, Timid Arc, Brazen Refia, and Deterministic or fatalistic Ingus. He's Brash and Brazen, quick to jump into battles he can be sure of winning, is proud of his intellect, but for a time, won't even fight battles he's worried of losing.
Then he has a moment, and then starts acting more like the positive aspects of the personalities.

On another note...Warrior of Light. Do you think Warrior of Light is like "Fighter" from 8-Bit Theatre?

No. He IS a Warrior, though. His Job Change is Knight.
Now here's a question- Black Mage- Mateus? Y/N?

Why is Mako obsessed with this onion knight?

I DON'T LIKE WHAT YOU'RE IMPLYING

Mako IS Onion Knight, and he's having an identity crisis.

 

[Kikyou]

Or he likes 'em young.
IN BEFORE PUBERTY.

Yeah, this is kind of the path my thoughts were taking, too.

But, IMHO, kinda more Arc than Luneth. Although, he sounds more like Joshua from The World Ends With You.
