Did anyone notice Kiros...?

At the end of each fight, you know how the characters do some kind of pose? Did anyone else notice Kiros' looks like the prayer from FFX?

It's hard to tell in this video, but it's around 5:00.

Yeah I see what you mean after watching that... but if you think about it... there aren't many ways that Kiros could have his victory move with those blades without doing somebody (or himself) serious damage xD.
But the FFX prayer / blitzball thingy symbol could be based on that - or it's pure coincidence ~^. I think in the past I've thought the same thing though... Hmm x3

It's hard to tell because Ward is in the way.

Agreed, If Kiros tried to do anything to fancy or freak out(Check Lagunas victory dance or zells) then he would like cut his arm off or somthing. Of cource Im still stumped with why the tecnology of full auto guns are around and Laguna is the only soldier who uses them...Eshtar soldiers have shotguns in their axes and captains(Biggs) in the Galbadian army have machine guns but never seem to use them...It seems like somthing all soldiers should have, but then again this is Final Fantasy...

It probably was no coincidence that Kiros pose is the same as ffx blitzball prayer, there is so many similarities throughout the entire series. cameos, characters etc..

True, but Kiros is just.. not that big of a character.... ya know?

But in Final Fantasy, they consider swords to be stronger than guns [?]. but then again the characters are a bunch of 16 year olds traveling time fighting sorceress' haha
