Is it just me or is it because I only played Final Fantasy I (on PSP), Fanal Fantasy XII (on PS2) and final fantasy XIII (X360)

But when I started playing FF 13, it seemed to me that the FF 13 characters reminded me to the FF12 characters...

Hope made me think of Vaan
Vanille made me think of Penelo
Lightning and Ashe also seemed as 1 person to me...

Is it just me? What do you think?
