Copypasta XIV - What were they thinking?

[Tupsi]

Looks higher poly to me, OP. Maybe you should get your eyes checked?

Not only that but they have different rigging and doesn't even largely have animations for the same skills they use. For example Screwdriver in XI =/= Screwdriver in XIV - If it were the exact same models and rigging from XI, everything would be the same, even the low res textures.

And last I seen, while they're lower than XIV 1.x, they're still far higher than XIs. Imganing FF8 models in XIII is easy - It would be higher poly count as well.

I never mentioned animations - the models, however, are identical. They haven't even smoothed the mesh. In the case of the Pugils, the Intimidate animation is still intact. The screenshots from XI that I've posted here are not my own (they're clearly not rendered at a decent resolution, for one), and I do not intend to resubscribe and go through 10+ hours of PlayOnline patching only to prove a point.
