Resemblance, anyone? Somebody in the production team has been watching to much Naruto
I can't believe no one has even commented on this! It was the first thing that went through my head when I saw the hero's name AND appearance
Sousuke or Sasuke?

Yeah i thought of that, when i first crossed his path in NF. But never really thought about it much

Fine if they wanted him to simply resemble sasuke, but the name-thing is going a bit too far in my opinion. They could've named him whatever else and the link wouldn't have been as obvious, but no they stuck with Sousuke; a grain-of-sand's length away from Sasuke. I wouldn't be surprised at all if I heard an in-game conversation with acolyte Sousuke saying: "oh, my family name is Uchiha; you wanna see my groovy eyes? .. what?? .. No, I'm not on crack"

Does it really matter?

I think it does.
Not as much as one might think, but from a gameplay-experience perspective, do I really want to play GW with a guy who looks like, sounds like and probably smells like Uchiha Sasuke? Major crossover warning.. don't get me wrong, I am a fan of Naruto, but characters in one universe belongs there and nowhere else. .. I mean, what next? .. You play EotN with an eskimo-clothed Kiba in the northern Shiverpeaks handing out exploding tags, Shino is living it large as king of the bugs in the scarab-infested Crystal Desert.. hell, why not just throw in the hidden Sand Village somewhere close to Augury Rock.
I don't mean to sound so outraged, 'cause a matter of fact, it's not that big a deal, it doesn't even matter that much to me, but you asked my opinion.
I hate crossovers.. at least bad ones, and that Sasuke-copy just seems a little unnecessary to me.

Yes, I did notice this crossover right away when I got him in the game. I thought it was funny... and then ended up picking Jin because I'm not too big on whiny elementalist ninjas (damn, it sounds so much cooler written down here... ).
Guild Wars has a LOT of popular culture references, Acolyte Sousuke being the least of them. I don't mind that at all.

I never pick the fruity elementalist anyway so it matters not to me.

The Sasuke-copy is almost TOO obvious ^^ .. but anyway, i never intended to crank down on either sasuke or sousuke.. my only true intention was to point out the resemblance ^^ .. even though i still feel he is like a walking commercial for Dattebayo, i think the whole thing is harmless. But, asking my opinion tends to get me rather embellishing on the subject, know what i mean?

I see the resemblance now that you point it out but I'm not convinced it's deliberate. "Sousuke" isn't that uncommon a name and a headband (and that's all that Sousuke's thing is - headband. No metal bits or anything) is a super common accessory. That hair style is way common as well. It could so easily all be coincidence. *shrugs* If they'd really wanted to make a Naruto reference, it'd make more sense to do it with an assassin henchman.

That was great. I would love seeing some member of the Ebon Vanguard, with a furry coat and a wolf, named "Kabi" or something of the sort. That would just make my day.
-Edited for a Random Thought-
It does make sense that they created Sousuke as an Elementalist. Sasuke uses mainly Fire Style jutsu, eh..? Phoenix Flower? Fireball?

Meh, there is a slight resemblance, but I don't care for Naruto so it don't matter to me.

Acolyte Sousuke is a cutie, Sasuke Uchiha is not.
<<<Reasons>>>
Sasuke is an emo whiny traitor.
Sousuke is not pure fire, his starting skillset is hybrid fire\earth, I think.
Sousuke is not an E/A.
Sasuke is an A/E.
Sousuke's hair does not look like a duck's butt from the back.
I don't see Sasuke spouting out bad jokes, do I?
Sousuke's eyes don't do anything strange.
So lay off the cutest guy there is in GW, alright? ,.., o,..,o ,.,., (well, the person on the Rebel Yell icon is just as good-looking, but I'm not sure if it's male or female.)

Well the similarities are smashing and could be true imo.

When I saw the name Sousuke for the first time in NF the first assosiation that crossed my mind was Sagara Sousuke ...
hmm... actually wouldnt be too bad if they had copied that kind of personality to Sousuke

To put it nicely, Sousuke is a cutie, Sasuke is an ugly emo kid.

Zhed> Vekk and Sousuke .The half man, horse, lion ,goat watever else pwns all XD.
But yes when i saw the name Sousuke pop up i had to think of Sagara sousuke too .... wich is a really cool lead character imo.
And its true Sousuke and Sasuke have a slight similar appearance but ... they have such a different feel to each other though .. doesnt bother me at all.
Could be a coincidence.. and if not .. i think thats cool in a way XD

Anyway...it doesnt sound to far fetched that someone did have a look at Naruto in playing the game. As it was said before there are alot of references to other things in the game. Even a couple WoW references.
I never really noticed the Souske/Sasuke thing, but it is kind of funny.
I must submit somthing to this thread, because it is really funny.
Kind of look similar doesnt it?
Hehe just playing with the idea, but I remember in the beta for factions and seeing this familar headband and thinking..."Oh gawd here comes to the naru-tards."
Don't start flaming me either :P I am a naru-tard to. Just not a fan of the dubs.

maybe its just coincidence?

oh I'm sure it could be a coincidence. The product I posted above because I went looking for it, but it is funny none the less.

Yes, I believe these are Naruto References >_> (Sasuke one yes, but maybe Kakashi is just a coincidence as a scarred eye is "cool")
