    And this is an issue why? Masamune's WS is just a reskin of kasha, Fire V is just a mini Flare II and Blizzard V is just a Quake reskin.
    They've been running out of disk space and memory since they added SCH and DNC.
    fixed that for ya.

    Uh, no. And even if they were, reskins use EXACTLY THE SAME AMOUNT OF DISK SPACE, AND MEMORY AS ORIGINAL TEXTURES.

    Um... yeah,, and that's the point? Not needing to use different textures and animations would save disk space/memory?
    Texture A and texture B of the same object do NOT use the same amount of disk space. They recycle stuff because
    1) (models) The same model/object can be made to look many different ways with different skins (Using the same model saves disk space
    2) (textures) The same texture can be used in many different places without people noticing, or where they notice, without them caring Using the same texture many times saves both disk space (from not using a different texture) and memory (The same texture used multiple times only needs to be loaded once)
    3) (animations) The same animation can be used with many different objects. Using the same animation instead of a new one also saves disk space.

    Reusing art assets is not about a lack of ideas, it's about efficiency.

    You've been pwned. Next.

    I agree mnk AF3 legs doesn't match with the rest of the set. However, I like how they look, lol.

    This down was carried by the winds of Vana'diel. Some people breathed it in and contracted Phoenix Downs Syndrome. Some of those people post on this very board.

    If they reskinned it to something that looked even similar to the rest of the set, it wouldn't be.
    What's even on the pants? Flaming fireballs or something? They totally make things go faster.

    Maybe try to think of yourself as one of these?

    You are wrong. The models, textures, and animations all use the same file.
