That is strange. I didn't think of that but now that you mention it, that is a possibility!

Artists often base characters off of others that they have seen, much like authors find "fanfiction" easier than original works. It's simply easier to improve someone else's brainchild.

no there not the same axel is reno's nobody (mind kh2 axel is a nobody)
well thats what i think and im stckin to it its the only thing that makes sence

Well they are both from Square Enix. It's not like it's the first time characters from different games by them have looked the same. Just check out the similarities between Cloud and the female in the released promo's for XIII

No they're not the same. They only look the same. Reno's hair is a lot longer than Axel's and is kept in a pony tail and Reno uses some sort of martial arts and some sort of baton to fight.

I must state my obvious opinion... people thinking that Axel is Reno's nobody or Reno reincarnated... in neither Final Fantasy VII, FFVII: Advent Children, or Dirge of Cerberus did Reno actually DIE! *gasp* what a shock... next... the possibility of it just being a look-a-like is highly possible... Square enix created the final fantasy series when it was just square... so yes... a character design based off of Reno is possible.... but... there is my new idea.... Axel is the nobody of an alternate reality version of Reno... plain and simple... pretty much EVERY really big final fantasy character has showed up in there... (excluding characters from ffIX) so yeah... that is my opinion on the matter...
