I was just wondering, if it's allowed, if any Rioters are able to tell me the main inspiration for Arcade Ezreal? Because it looks suspiciously like my favorite character from one of my favorite games... :P (Neku from The World Ends With You)

I believe there might have been a post somewhere on S@20 that said he was inspired by the various works of Tetsuya Nomura who designed Neku Sora Cloud and Roxas so yes

Well if you look at past arcade skins, they all have similarities to games, LIke Hecarims axe is guitar hero, and hecarim himself looks like Robot Unicorn.... Almost exactly like Robot Unicorn lol. I would seriously not be surprised if all the Arcade skins hint back to certain game characters or game systems.

I think he's closer to Cloud Strife from FF7, or Roxas/Ventus from the Kingdom Hearts series. That said, his overall appearance seems to borrow a lot from Square Enix's overall aesthetic.
