I mean, they were always aping something though? Replaying FF7 I realized, at its core, it is just a mismash of 80s horror movies.
Still love it, but its interesting to notice in retrospect.

It's ok though, in the 90s, homaging Blade Runner in Japanese media was a total belt onion -- something people did because "it was the style at the time".
And FF7 was new (to me at least) in what it aped so it's all fine and cool.
