Honestly, most of us are only responding cause it's a nice, easy and Respectable Ego Chaser.

And we are fully in the correct about this.

Hell, I bet they got the idea of this thread from that Image in the first place.

They likely saw it in the thread talking about PICtomancer Cell Shaded Animations.

Same As You, Except We're Mocking It, Rather than pretend to be superior. Nailing the Coffin so much, it splinters on the breeze. Try it some time, it's fun.

We can either pretend to be superior ~Hair Flip~, or just outright mock it.

Rather make fun of it than come off like someone with too much NEEED to appear intellectually higher.

Remember when we taught about not feeding the obvious trolls

You clearly dont know what a superiority complex is.

Well there’s the fear mongering forums i know and love. This is the most hilarious bait post I’ve seen in quite awhile.

Bravo.

Oh wait....

I think it's different because warrior and fighter are very common classes so they are in the "public domain", but someone using paintbrush is unique, which makes it copyright.

Dude, Relm is 30 years old.

If you don't know who that is, then it's no wonder you made this thread.

As I explained earlier, Relm didn't use a paintbrush to attack, she draw the enemy and make the enemy attack. Using paintbrush to attack is copyright by Nixon.

This just rage bait. Ignore it and move on.

bumping this thread because it's funny

Nixon put a huge copyright disclaimer at the loading screen of their game... If it did not copyright the game why would they put it there?

A similar character job with a paintbrush+easel isn't going to instigate any lawsuits unless it's literally a copy of the material which Picto isn't. I seriously to the nth degree doubt this is gonna make them sue Square because Pictomancer is an iteration from an old Final Fantasy title. It's purely from that.

This world would have been long gone to litigation hell because so many things are similar to each other, dude. Think about it.

Call of Duty is risking a BIG lawsuit with guns...

I don't know if they took inspiration from Guns from Battlefield, but I'm worried about BIG lawsuit coming from EA. Since EA owns Battlefield and has been very aggressive about lawsuit before. The only saving grace is that they are useless and Activision has that Microsoft money so it will be harder for them to sue. I think Activisio made a huge mistake because gun is too like another gun... If EA sues successfully they may need to delete guns from the game as a settlement, so hold off on playing it for now... Wait and see.

SE has attorneys on retainer.

They do not need your legal advice.

This topic has got to be a troll. Right?

One would hope so. But with how crazy everything is nowadays you never can tell.

I'm going to assume this is a troll but if not, let me explain:

Copyright is there to protect against people taking EXACT DESIGNS from one game and putting them into another. For example, you can't rip out Krile's exact model and outfit, put it into a new FPS game called WoL of Duty and call Krile your own original creation. However, you can use the name Krile, you can use the same weapon type, you can take some inspiration from her model/outfit, etc. You just can't have whatever you create be so obviously a copy (i.e. that one scene from Better Call Saul when Saul copies the logo font and color of his rival for his own business), then it would be grounds for suing.

Also, never heard of LoA but my first thought to paintbrush characters was Liu Huo from Tower of Fantasy. There's also Zhong Kui from Smite. Paintbrush characters are nothing new and clearly are not a copyright violation.

The truth is they don't know where to put the copyright so they try to put it almost everywhere just to be sure.

It's based of old Japanese folklore.
It'd be like saying Game of Throne risk big law suit for stealing the idea of "Dragons" from Lord of the Ring.

This talk of a so called "lawsuit" is comical at best. Besides Pictomancer has existed in FF universe long before League of Angles revealed the "artist" class in 2022. For clarity's sake one only needs to look at this image of FF6 [circa 1994]

Bullshit. Copyright doesn't cover ideas, only specific expressions of them. So the idea of a paintbrush-wielding class is not and cannot be covered by copyright.

No, it is not. Using paintbrush to attack is not something that can be protected by copyright.

You are the one who should be worried about a lawsuit. I bet you did not have permission to post those images in your first post. In which case you may be guilty of copyright infringement for doing so.

He's had the actual function of the law briefly explained to him and he's still pretending to be clueless, so yeah.

Nixon owes Koei money! This was over a decade earlier:

Again I explain XD

Guns are very common so it becomes in the public domain, or "creative commons", that's what CC means. But (C) means copyright. Sooo artist is actually copyrighted since it's not common, but guns are in commons.

Begging on my hands and knees for people to play other FF games.

Also, nobody wants to get into a legal battle about this. Drawing to attack using brushes and paint appear in many different places in media. You'd have to have an extremely limited collection of media you've viewed if you think this is something that LoA invented and has exclusive rights to.

Sarcasm aside, I'm still kind of impressed by how aesthetically unappealing XIV's take on a combat artist managed to be compared to virtually every other iteration of such.

I would've much preferred a Hingan inkbrush aesthetic with more aggressive brushstrokes that actually exude a sense of power vs. magical girl-esque twirling and pretty colors.

Why is this post sounds like another Palworld / Pokemon dilemma?

Yes, but Nixon has sued many people before, so Square is in trouble IMO.

Bait used to be believable

I kinda love how silly this bait is. On top of that signature. I don't know that voidswnt would be capable of romantic love.

I still want to know who the heck is "Nixon". Other than one of Presidents of the United States over 50 years ago.

The closest I've come to associating "Nixon" with Lost Ark is this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1ubQu5ms7I
