Well this is sad. Copywrite.

This was a powerful video for us players that played 1.0. For a company to use it like its their own makes me sad. lol

Interesting cut scene. I have a feeling I've seen it somewhere before.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Lol. They even ripped the theme of FF 14. No honor amongst thieves

We see it everyday :P I'm pretty sure League of Angels is trying to get caught but nothing is being done about it. o.O

A few weeks ago they had the snowy intro part of the Heavensward trailer there........

League of Angels has been stealing things from FFXIV for a while now.. I'm surprised SE hasn't done anything about it yet.

The name is an obvious play on League of Legends too. Supposedly they stole from them as well. Wonder how many people they actually stole from.

Well this is sad.

Chinese developers... oh boy. Battling Chinese companies over copyright issues can be a long and costly process more so than other places, not just for games, but even things like cars and knocking off well known franchises. Theft of intellectual property just grinds my gears. :T

These are the people who ruin it for everyone else. ._.

that game has been reported in forums a few times nows.. about ripping off content from ff14 so they will probably get sued at some point lol :P

It's from a game that advertises on uTorrent. Can't expect that much, I surprised the OP even found it XD.

China is a communist country, and they dont give a crap about your copyright laws!!! lol!!!!

I play the mobile League of Angels. Totally different game and most likely from a different company. Only reason I figured I'd click the advertisement on mmorpg.com lol

that is pretty sad and yet some how quite ballsy to actually steal someone elses video/CGI assets like that...

China is about as communist as the United States is never in anyone's business. Unless all it takes is saying so to make it so. xD

FF14 ARR is coming to China right (if it hasnt already, pretty behind on times)

Cant the Chinese branch of ARR shut these guys down due to copyright on their grounds?

I laughed pretty hard, that's pretty brazen.

The chinese publisher of xiv would have to take it up with them.

Copyright laws in China and similar countries are a completely different ball game than they are in other areas of the world. I'm sure they could. The real question is if it would be worth it. Now Japan on the other hand are real sticklers for protecting their intellectual properties, so if they did want to pursue action through the Chinese branch, that would be an interesting fight.

They're actually a totalitarian "republic," not communist. They just call themselves communist because it sounds better than what they actually are.
That said...yeah they don't give a crap about copyright laws.

There was once a fake Apple store there that was so convincing, even the employees didn't realize they weren't working in an Apple store. Or maybe it was Nokia. Either way.

Yeah there was a forum post about this a few weeks ago, they'd stolen stuff from the Heavensward trailer.

It was nice hearing that song again >>


But yeah, they've blatantly ripped off other games as well. If you refresh a few times, you may get a different load screen

Can we please get someone to shut that "game" down?..

It has something to do with giving China rights to FFXIV in their own property image, etc. or w/e. I'm sure of it. SE of Japan most likely has no say in this matter, that's probably why we keep seeing media taking elements from FFXIV.

If licensing a property to a company in china gives the entire country license to use a product, why would any company bother doing business with China?
I don't think this is the case. They have very lax definitions of "copyright infringement" and next to no enforcement, but no government would allow a law like that to go through as it would ultimately end up detrimental to them in the long run.

Sadly this is a widespread problem with how easily all these gaming companies are just popping up all over the place in the past decade. Its only going to get worst :(

snitches get stiches

hahaha...Holy crap. How dumb can they be?

As dumb as they want, since copyright laws in China are nearly non-existent, unless you're trying to copy the govt's stuff...in which case, watch out :P

China hasn't had an original idea in years..it's all stolen
