Likewise, although Yuna and Rikku made their first appearance in ''Final Fantasy X'' alongside Tidus, [[Wakka]], and [[Auron]], the journal lists their first appearance as ''Final Fantasy X-2'', due to Paine being introduced in that game. | Likewise, although Yuna and Rikku made their first appearance in ''Final Fantasy X'' alongside Tidus, [[Wakka]], and [[Auron]], the journal lists their first appearance as ''Final Fantasy X-2'', due to Paine being introduced in that game. | ||

In ''[[Kingdom Hearts (game)|Kingdom Hearts]]'', Rikku was supposed to make a solo appearance as a member of Leon's group in Traverse Town; however, because of the similarly-named character [[Riku]], she was replaced with [[Yuffie]], who was then given a version of the outfit planned for Rikku. Yuffie's version has the same design, but the colors are swapped. | |||
In ''Kingdom Hearts II'', the Gullwings receive a new appearance, seeming to be small pixies. The reason for making the Gullwings "pixie-like" beings was because Tetsuya Nomura wanted to have ''Final Fantasy'' characters appear in a non-human form that still appeared human, and the ''Kingdom Hearts'' series seemed to be the ideal scenario to do so. He chose their fairy forms, as he believed that they would look interesting and because he believed that the screen would be too crowded if the camera focused on all three of them at once if they were in their normal human forms. | In ''Kingdom Hearts II'', the Gullwings receive a new appearance, seeming to be small pixies.

In Jiminy's Journal, the Gullwings are called the "Friendly-neighborhood-something-or-others", a reference to a line in ''Final Fantasy X-2'', in which they called themselves the "Friendly neighborhood Gullwings", which is a further reference to Marvel Comic's ''[[w:c:marvel/Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man Vol 1|Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man]]''. Jiminy's Journal never mentions the name "Gullwings", instead only copying the description the girls gave themselves in the middle of ''Final Fantasy X-2'''s story. | |||
