It's not about "creating birds." It's the exact same model as the birds from Final Fantasy XI/XIV.

Hey guys, God totally ripped off FFXI. SE should sue Him!


Seriously though, pics in OP are a direct rip-off of XI.

Man I'm glad I'm not playing that game...

lol and I am glad that I am pretty much done with it. I got to Level 20 in the time-span of 2 hours just by doing a consecutive quest-line. >.> Also started a free trial on Eve Online :D

NOTE: DO NOT Google "carbuncle." If you want images, search for "Carbuncle Final Fantasy." Someone should contact SE and let them know to change his name. Eughhhh.

What's your in game name? I'll give you some starting creds :D

On topic: It seems to me the game is using the models of XI's birds and carbuncle, and only changing the skin of them.

lol Why are you all talking about Vultures? That is the most blatant Carbuncle rip off I have ever seen..

Why on earth they saw fit to plagiarise hover birds of all things...

Roc type big birds

I wonder if these are the same people who were selling "custom monster models" for a few $100 at model websites. The custom monster models were Shiva, Ifrit, Behemoth and Omega all of which had silly names like "Grand Demon (Ifrit)" "Izatoy" or something (Behemoth) and "Cyclops" (omega).

Much more appealing then a cyst.

Sharing the name with the massive stone oft set in it's head? Aptly named indeed.

those carbuncle models and vulture models are actual direct rips from FFXI.
you can take the models and textures from the data and import them into other programs including 3DS MAX as well as a few other professional programs.
i used to do it myself!

i worked with that carby for years trying to make my perfect besty in game, i can spot that model from a mile away.

This used to be on disney's website (JP) http://goo.gl/PcrKC looks familar to FFXI? lol

But it's so much more fun to talk about SE doing something to shut these evil thieves down, even though China will just laugh at them and take even more of their shit.

Yeah, those are legit rips... anyone claiming otherwise is clearly blind.

It's obvious they're direct rips of FFXI models. There's not much anyone can do against something from China though. You should see the amount of cartoon characters ripped off from all parts of the world for snack packaging.

lol China isn't really creative is it?

Still not as bad as the Chinese Monster Hunter rip-off though.

Final Fantasy Carbuncle may actually stem from a supposed Latin American mythical creature with a ruby on its forehead, as described in Jorge Luis Borges's Manual de Zoología Fantástica, rather than just the gem itself.

Well this hilarious bit of copyright infringement has shown us the popularity of carbuncle mounts, take note yoshi! Good lord can you imagine a highland hyur riding a carbuncle around- fantastic.

or a bulky Roegadyn >.> Those guys are so fat.

Carbuncle/Carbunckle is a classic fantasy creature. He also appears in older FFs, he was in V and VI and probably others, as well as other RPGs like Magic story/puyo, etc. He's a small creature with a ruby-like gem on its forehead.

Still, that model is a blatant ripoff, no doubt there. Same for the birds. ;)
