[sakuramari]

@LyeLye Me too <3

[13BLACKKAT13ily]

xD

[ArashiFan4Ever]

Keep the doll...I'll take Gackt!

[sleepysquall]

SQUALL <3

[TheButterflyChaos]

Bwahaha soo cute <3

[spvs1290]

umm can some comfirm this!?? they really didnt based Squall leonheart! on gackt!?fisic did they!??? D:

[richmattgal]

Wow! Cloud, Squall, Genesis, etc. all inspired by Gackto! They're all lovely figures just like the real guy!

[HideChan7188]

@TashaskII yes it is xD

[ReminentMemoirs]

for ppl who are wtf'ing, nomura said that he based Squall's character design on Gackt

[leonz3033]

@ReminentMemoirs you're right! not only squall but also cloud and tidus...and of course the legendary genesis...haha

[MapleGunman]

@ReminentMemoirs No Gackt said he thought the char is based of him.

[ReminentMemoirs]

@MapleGunman thats what gackt said in this video... but nomura said that squall is based on gackt

[MapleGunman]

@ReminentMemoirs I don't remember that. My brother has talked to him at length (I used to work on ff music) and from what I heard it was Gackt thinking it was based of him. that's why he got project G in Derge.

[SilvenSan]

he's... smilling o.O"

[RebornRevolution]

omg he's so young hahaha.

[yukihai]

yup its squall lol

[xxXCorpseBrideXxxx]

Is that... Squall? WTF?

[ricflairrocks20]

Play 0:20 over and over

[zopopati]

Is that doll Squallo a.k.a Leon from KH?

[meleora]

@zopopati Yes, but when he was created by Square, Squall was based on Gackt's face and body =)

[zopopati]

@meleora

HOLY SHIZZ!! I KNEW THERE WAS A CONNECTION WHEN I WAS PLAYING KH2...

[sorcress18]

@meleora

And Genesis, Cloud, and Payne

[crystal88s]

*-* i want that figurine

he looks shy o.o?

[OrpheumH]

hahahaha i like that doll :D

[SadisticFruitcake]

Lol Gackt sees himself as Squall? I'd always think he was better suited as Cloud or even Sephiroth<3 Genesis too for that matter :b

But him as Squall? Hmm.. It's actually pretty cute ^^

[HaterHeart]

It is Squall from Final Fantasy.

[TashAlistair]

Mother of God....I WANT ONE!

[MettaFTW]

I don't mean to disappoint everyone, but that actually is NOT a Leon figure. It looks exactly like one, but I've seen these one Ebay, and it is in fact Gackt. The difference is, Leon (and all his figures) have the facial scar, this one does not.

Unfortunately, the bidding has ended for the only one I saw on Ebay, so you may have a hard time finding one, but it had Gackt's name on the box and everything. I wanted onefor the past 2 Christmases so bad, but my mom wouldn't get it for me :(

[ReminentMemoirs]

Lol Squall

[tokiocloud]

I WANT THAT DOLL!!!! :O

[magnificentAmbercin]

I want a gackt barbie!!!>:o

[StarBrown08]

He looks very feminine. If he had breast, I guess it would be flat or just a little big.

[onigirikiri]

LOL IT'S LEON.

[colmonhs]

THat's Squall from FF8!

It's not Gackt!

I would like a doll of him though ;)

[6our6vampire6hearts]

....MOM I KNOW WHAT I WANT FOR MY BIRTHDAY

[RBFGnightDemon]

aak... i only speak english... what's so funny, store man? can someone translate this? PLEASE??

[kakeshisama]

@RBFGnightDemon he;s saying that the doll is him but its not, its Squall from Final fantasy 8 (gackt is a big Final fantasy & gundam nerd<3)

[KaileneDanae]

@RBFGnightDemon

Store Person: Hey, you're Gackt, right?

Gackt: I'm told that I look like him.

Store Person: I see. You ARE Gackt, though, right? What do you have there?

Gackt: This "Gackt Doll."

Store Person: Is this Gackt?

Gackt: It's a Gackt doll.

It's actually not very funny. I have a feeling there was some back story to it that made it more interesting.

[RBFGnightDemon]

@KaileneDanae thank you!!! i find it cute.

[CloodSama]

@KaileneDanae It's because it's a Squall figurine from Final Fantasy. It's said they based the design for the character off him.

[kittenless]

@CloodSama

xD that doll looked blonde, I almost thought it was Cloud for second. Doesn't Squall have brown hair??

[sasuke5088]

@kittenless 1) the lighting is so darn intense

2) ???

3) Profits were made

[kittenless]

@sasuke5088

?

[JTeamjesters]

He should have picked Genesis doll instead of Squall. I mean, those two have the same face :D

[xarmenthius]

ewwww, he looks gross in this vid. nasty!

[deathbykoolaid]

*gigglesnort* Squall doll.

Close enough

[666Thea666]

he is so.. white O.O

[sford564]

Translation anyone? :D

[TheMIssingSock]

LOL Squall xD

[catarsiskitade9133]

hummm... gackt es un hombre de pocas palabras... y piensa mucho antes de decir algo, o mas bien trata de sonar misterioso en sus palabras. aunque para que lo haria si todo el es un misterio. +_+

[ellyzasoranaruto07]

wtf a squall play arts!!!.. does Tetsuya Nomura based him as squall and genesis????? WOW

[LestatdeLioncourt]

@ellyzasoranaruto07

squall based him on river phoenix, brother of joaquin phoenix...

then gackt followed squall's style.

genesis, yep, it's based on gackt...

[ellyzasoranaruto07]

ah ok LestatdeLioncourt, thank you.. i'm puzzled so I UNDERSTAND now.. arigato gozaimazu

[LestatdeLioncourt]

yay!!!!!

it's ok!

*happy happy*

[FoxWings21]

uhuh. *nodnod* Genesis in both Dirge of Cerberus and Crisis Core was based off Gackt, and Gackt was the actual actor in the ending of DoG, green-screen (or something) ftw. His outfit in his redemption video is what he wore for DoG, too...that's how they got Genesis' armor in Crisis Core. :)

[1BlueRozez1]

lolz squall XD

[Mumusthereal]

Gakuto Ningyou desu!!!!

[LawlietAxel]

Squall's based off of River Phoenix. Not Gackt. Only Genesis

[toki119]

This is, in fact, true!

Don't thumbs down, Squall was even given the same birthdate as River by Tetsuya Nomura!

[YUGIOHgirl962]

Wait, so the character that's based on him is Squall? (I've never played any fial fantasy games? Eeeeeep! That's so perfect! My favorite character from my favorite video game is based off of Squall (Ray from MySims)! I've recently wondered what would happen if Ray and Gackt met each other.

[WhiteAngelArtemis]

theres more than just Squall... theres Clouds hair that came from his Vanilla ideo and Genesis for Final Fantasy VII Crisis Core and the secret ending of Dirge of Cerberus XD

[jman11100]

squall is based off river phoenix

[jman11100]

no squall was base off river phoenix. gackt has a character based off him in final fantasy crisis core. gackt is not squall

[vampyrowithaknife]

I got into gackt in a different way. My first JRock band I started listening to was Suicide Ali, my cousin introduced me to them. Then I found out about the GazettE, which led me to Miyavi, which led me to Gackt.

[4EverDisturbed6710]

And to think Final Fantasy was the thing that got me into Gackt!!!

So I was watching crisis core, Genesis scene, and I go:

I. Love. Him.

So I go an search for him and out pops Gackt's name so I'm going:

Who is "gackt" and what does he have to do with Genesis?

I am so happy that I clicked on that video of Gackt singing Lust for Blood.

I ♥ GACKT :)

[SaturnAngel77]

I was like that too!! Exept,it was Cloud from Advent Children,and they were talking about how he looked like Gackt.

[4EverDisturbed6710]

Well thank God we loved Final Fantasy xD

I cant believe that I didn't know about such and AWESOME person until now...

He needs international advertisement.

There's already a bunch of fans worldwide and I would LOVE to buy his CD's and stuff at a local store :)

[SaturnAngel77]

I heard he's coming out with a international DEARS.

[4EverDisturbed6710]

I heard that too. Don't know what's going on with that...

[777Kiana]

Same, 4EverDisturbed...Final Fantasy 7 is awesome, and I knew Redemption was Gackt from hearing it so many times, and that's how I began listening to more of songs and learning more about him..and it is totally worth it..

Dang it, Y do all te YouTube vids I watch (since the past 2 hours) stop at 6 seconds, and do not continue? Stupid computer..

GACKT IS AWESOME

[4EverDisturbed6710]

:)

Thank Final Fantasy for showing us GACKT :)

[tokyomilkshake2]

i would so play barbies witht that thing XD

[LovelessInfinity333]

@tokyomilkshake2 Ahh, yes - a barbie, only sexier. :3

[sorcress18]

@tokyomilkshake2

Who knows what you would make him do xD

[tokyomilkshake2]

@sorcress18 LOL i'm brakin out my christie doll and having myself a good time.

[sorcress18]

@tokyomilkshake2

Lawl....

[Sh3ikha]

HELL YA! IT'S SQUALL! Now he needs a Genesis action figure being that he's based off Gackt anyways. LoL

[SayuNoIchigo]

ahahahahaa squall !!!!!

well.. it really is a doll of him (gackt) because used his face to do squall's face

it gotta be strange for gackt xD ! but its reaaally cool <3

[gemkaifan]

i thought they based squall on river phoenix...

[iSunaMatic]

LOL, SQUALL!!

[MrShinigamishant]

haha its squall from ff VIII

[SeekingSolitude]

LOL, isn't that SQUALL!??? XDDDD

[krifa91]

Squall LOL

[majorakannon12]

gackt just needs a scar across his nose

[GothicSymphonie]

waaa i want that doll..!!

[sakuramari]

To Gothic Smyphonic<

I have the doll already. I collect FF figures. Might seem a bit of a geeky thing to do though, but I love the series, and Gackt too. :) You can look for Squall's doll in an Anime shop or online. It's made by Bandai but check Squaresoft/SquareEnix too maybe

[xxxHIMorianxxx]

Thanks

[TsubasaNoKuro]

OMG Im so jelous :'(

Thanks for the infooo <33

[tapmem]

@sakuramari Yeah I was gonna say, isn't that a Squall figure? I know Squalls design was based off of Gackt and that Gackt refers to him has Gackt #2.

[sakuramari]

@tapmem I think more recently, FF7-BC Genesis resembles Gackt more, but not sure if there is a figure of Genesis available or not. Genesis is the tough cool guy, but Squall is kinda mysterious and has a shy cuteness about him. Gackt is cool with cute moments too though :)

[shimeng]

@sakuramari Yeah! Me too. He looks exactly like him ^^ he even moves like him. Gackt has that typical bishonen-look that you can base most characters on, so there is no wonder people like to use him as model. I'd do too if I was a animator XD Now I can only use his good looks as base for my drawings :3

[shimeng]

@sakuramari I've aways admired Tetsuya Nomura, and when he used Gackt as inspiration for Squall I was just extatic <3

[sakuramari]

@shimeng I didn't know that he was based on Gackt at the time when the game came out, but Squall has always been my favourite FF hero :) xx

I realised that FF7- BC's Genesis was Gackt as soon as I saw him though ;)

[ArisaLovesChrispy]

Gackto ningyou desu! Haha!

[sakuramari]

This is a Gackt impersonator. even his voice is different.

I've seen pics of Gackt dressed as Squall before. I think he likes FF. He played a character in FFVII Crisis Core too

[MiiSsMiiNa]

WHAT????

He played genesis

from now on , i am a gackt fan

(hey thats squall XD)

[sakuramari]

To MiiSsMiiNa<

Yes, that's right. He did the voice acting for Genesis and the character even resembles him.

[MiiSsMiiNa]

as i said

FROM NOW ON I´AM A GACKT FAN !!!

[karitheninja]

Looks like Squall...

[Pennyxz]

Its squall ^^

[francisalec]

i dont thinks thats gackt

i dont know

[kumikoangeloflight]

ah, it's because, around the time when he made Mizerable, he had just went solo, so he had just broken up with Milice Mizer. He's transiting into what he is today? Um...hey, does anyone know when he actually started singing? O__O

[lemanta]

he started with the group CAINS:FEEL as a drummer before 1994 and he started to sing in the group MALICE MIZER in 1995

[kumikoangeloflight]

ah, O.O woah, I was only like 4, and then 5. O__O

[SonicFan091]

SQUALL DOLL! *attacks*

THIS VERY DOLL HAS BEEN APPRAISED BY GOD!! *points to Gackt and bows*

[claudinelle23]

hi hi

[thebadthingunder]

yes, bows !

[sesshoin1]

Bow bow bow bow. My god, My Gackt.....I ♥ u Gackto-kun!!!

[KnarkPekka]

its kinda hard to build a doll made alike Gackt, since he always changes his looks like 6 times in the very same week ^^

[claudinelle23]

Then japanese should make 6 different ones ^^!

[Kamui1999Shiro]

Rofl, it's a little Squall doll! <3

[AngelHeartJenny]

i know how cute!!

[setsunathemoo]

OMG I KNEW IT! I KNEW I WASNT CRAZY! XD i had heard rumors about tetsuya nomura asking him to let him "borrow"his image but i guess this only helps to confirm it :D

[Notebookchic2]

LOL!!!

i went crazy when i fond out Gackt was basically a video game that i probably played when i was seven!

[HappyHateDay]

I want one!

[moonsasuke]

the doll looks like squall.

[MutsuKazuma]

suqall was also somewhat modeled after gackt xD like most of the final fantasy main chars

[Kreaden]

Gackt, is in a sense the japanese Freddie Mercury, by the fact that he changes his appearance so freaking much. LOL

[Animequetzal]

I want a gackt doll for my birthday! o3o

[Shejlahn]

I want Gack for mine XD XD

[countessli]

hey that's a squall figure gackt-sama....

[gamergrl777]

I WANT A GACKT DOLL!!!! WHERE CAN I FIND ONE?!?!? lol

[Roza3l3ktrika]

X3 I want one!!!!!

[ScapelKitten]

They used Gackt to make Cloud and Squall..They used his face mostly for cloud in the Advent children!

[Kirara9245]

And don't forget Genesis in Dirge and Crisis Core!

[jangoonpants]

...nope people think that but squall is actually based on phoenix river.. WTF  cloud looks nothing like gackt

[Takeru]

I don't know, in Gackt's pv 'Vanilla', he looks similar to Cloud (from Advent Children), very similar color and style (clothing-wise [not exactly the same but something I could imagine someone like Cloud wearing] as well as hair-wise) but people have been saying that way before Advent Children, though. That's funny though, Squall doesn't look really anything like River Phoenix, maybe style wise, but not really. Just my opinion though. =P

[NamelessBeing]

Isn't that a Squall Leonhart doll rather than a Gackt doll?

[Mitsu92]

Yeah, but they used Gackt as a model for both Squall and Cloud, when making the characters. :3

[BlindLeadr]

really!? :o

how do you know.? Sweet tho! : ))

[Kreaden]

actually they didn't. The creator of Final Fantasy has even said that Gackt was not the model for Squall and Cloud. But since everyone thought so, that is why Gackt was put into Dirge of Cerberus and Crisis Core as Genesis.

[Mitsu92]

They didn't?! Wow, that's a shock. O___O

[vanyadolly]

I don't know about Cloud, but even Squall's outfit is identical to one Gackt used to wear. They just never admitted it because they hadn't actually asked him for permission beforehand

[Kreaden]

Actually Gackt started wearing the "Squall" outfit after Squall came out.

[Kreaden]

Tetsuya Nomura, the character designer of Squall said in an interview that River Phoenix was actually the inspiration for Squall.

[Kakashi48]

hey that little doll looks like leon

[Ariakiste]

Because it is.

[Shoinie]

Yes, Square says that Genesis was modelled exactly after Gackt, and they also used Tidus' facial features from Gackt...and Gackt says that Square used him to model Squall. I'm not sure about Cloud though..

[tsetsuna101]

aw i luv da way he forces his lips together he looks so cute!!! oh n mr. allshallbelosttoyou, i also wonder how i noe things bout gackt n ima latina from L.A!! kinda wierd but dats wat makes us..us!! =^.^=

[Ludwing4]

It's great that you're latina! I'm latino and I love it when latinos are interested in asian things because it's not that common.

[SeenaCha]

thats not gackt mini D:

thats squall.

[RebornRevolution]

I was like "Wait...Squall?!"

[kizame37]

0:02 seconds and the rest he looked like Lelouch aka zero from code geass

[OrangeEntity]

The thought River Phoenix was modeled after Squall and Cloud Strife was modeled after Gackt?>

[TekLok]

Gackt is basically one of the best living examples of an anime bishounen hahaha

[Mahrahia]

oh wtf Gackt was using a Squall figure. But then again he looks like Squall. And Genesis (since both characters were modeled after him)

[allshallbelosttoyou]

it was squall too, there was a period in gactk's career where he dressed like squall and ff8's creator used it as a base.........

im a 18 year old black guy from atlanta....why the hell do i know this?

[predatorkitten]

becaaaaaause....gackto-san is the f'n MAN and therefore it is ok to think he is kick ass regardless of where you are from. *grin* i mean really, i own all his albums, most of his concerts, his movie (which is awesome), and have read his autobiography....and i live in north carolina. so there you have it. XD

[allshallbelosttoyou]

yea, but are u a guy?

[predatorkitten]

well no....but gender has nothing to do with admiring a musician. location actually makes it weirder. XD

[roxasxnamine4evr]

i think that was a squall figure

[Jadikar]

Squall was modeled after Gackt.

[pirategirl124]

no that was genisis

[Jadikar]

Are you being sarcastic? Because Tetsuya Nomura did model Squall after Gackt's Brise preformance with Mana-sama.

[pirategirl124]

no im not being sarcastic if u watch gackt's redemption music video he looks like genisis from final fantasy and it says so on some game magazines

[maskapanda]

You both are right^^

[xeinkolt]

This is old. It was a Squall figure. And now you know

[steelpoison86]

lmao First off, That doll looks like Squall from Final Fantasy 8, but he's cute

[leslien92]

r u sure this is gackt? looks a little different i agree

[JapanimeFangirl]

Yes because it's the same voice and this is before he got a lot of plastic surgery.

[kakashomarufan]

i dont think thats why, in general he just looks a lot younger in this...now if you look at him on some shows and compare the difference, it would be the surgery...

[animeluv3]

what did he look like before he got plastic surgery??

[Watis56894]

not like he did after

[MCRluvva]

Screw the doll I want the real thing ^^

[LazFox94]

Same Here...xD But The doll's okay....i guess..

[tirachel]

Wasn't CLoud modeled after gackt??

[AgitoFang]

Genesis was modeled after Gackt, not Squall.

[Rictof]

As far as I know, the only character modeled after Gackt was Genesis from Crisis Core and parts of Dirge of Cerberus.

[sneakyjappy]

upon closer observation, i realized it's a guy with a penis in his mouth

[Clearie552]

gakuto ningyou desu...

[elisarog]

why'd he have a squall action figure?

[badlywornshoes]

Squall was not modeled after Gackt; lead character designers have said Squall was inspired by American actor, River Phoenix. Please do your research before making such claims.

[Nekorigamichan]

Squall x Gackt~

Ummmmmmm~

[SerenaDilandau]

Gackt did NOT model for Squall I think, but I KNOW that Squall was modeled after Gackt, if that makes sense.

The character designers at Square Enix have a boner for Gackt.
