Reception and Legacy
Characters introduced from the first two games received generally positive reviews from critics. A handful of professionals in the gaming industry are fans to the games' balanced cast, such as Denis Dyack from Silicon Knights. Several professional manga artists were also fans to the series' characters and once created doujinshi for the series, like Trigun creator Yasuhiro Nightow and Toshinden character designer and illustrator Tsukasa Kotobuki. Other known fans, such as Aoi Nanase and Nobuhiro Watsuki, were eventually hired to create character designs for later entries in the series' franchise.
References to certain characters have also continued to appear as easter eggs in MMOG such as World of Warcraft and Guild Wars: Eye of the North.

—Walter Pater (1839–1894)
“What is popularly called fame is nothing but an empty name and a legacy from paganism.”
