Seems like Sega's the only company getting mentioned on this thread. I'm surprised this hasn't been posted yet. Here's something loosely related.

Yeah, your eyes don't decieve you. That's Vyse and Aika in the cast of the upcoming game, Valkyria Chronicles.

I heard Fina's in that game, too. When I eventually get a PS3, I plan to look that one up. It'll be fun to see those characters again.

Oh hey, what an opportune moment to have a gander about here.

That game looks very promising. :3

OMG, I played too much Phantasy Star in my youth. When I read that sentence I thought "huh? PS games were from SEGA, not Sony", only then realizing they meant the Playstation. :oops:

About wikipedia, I almost "corrected" that article before realizing the Playstation connection.

This is not a cameo, but rather a ripoff:

Character Alice (Alicesoft mascot, 1990) clear reminds us of Alis/Alisa/Arisa

Image from the Tōshin Toshi series (闘神都市).



One of many examples of Alis

Ah yes the blonde Alisa from the adventure game book (there is an english traduction for this one ! So cool :))
And the Alice from alicesoft is very ressembling (to) this one.

Yeah, this Alice is really too close to Alis. Alicesoft is lucky they didn't get sued for that one, if it was a company mascot. If Sega had made more use of Alis in their promotional materials, Alicesoft might have been in some trouble.
