Sooooo mismatched :/

They're totally flaming fireballs, can't you just pretend you're doing a "haduken" or something?

Maybe try to think of yourself as one of these?

no disk space is saved because of the redundant information.

The WS have their own dat files, but the animations are not part of them. The animations are actually in several different places. The motions made by the character itself are part of the core animations associated with each race. The visual effects applied on the target are in a different place. Many WS use the same character motions and these do not consume additional space for each WS. Only the distinct visual effects consume additional space, and if those visual effects use any identical textures (a recolor is most likely a different texture in FFXI, though more advanced engines can recolor textures (these are called procedurally generated) without needing extra space) that DOES save memory/space.

Most of what you said is wrong. The full animation for ws is is each .dat for the ws, not for the character .dats. And with gear, both the textures, and model are stored in every .dat, they are no seperate.

Actually, it's most of what you said that's wrong. If that were accurate, the the game would take up several orders of magnitude more space than it currently does. But go on and keep telling yourself that. What you are seeing are references to other data, not the actual data itself.

(Note- there are a number of duplicate textures in the dats. However there are many items that share the same images and model for which only one corresponding texture I was able to find.)

Maybe if they made the flame design gold?

They really should have remained shorts. You can hardly see the boots at all.
