Copypasta XIV - What were they thinking?

[Chipmungus]

I disagree with this thread.

You're disagreeing with..?
...pointing out that a large percentage of the models/textures are a decade old? That's a fact.
...asking if these low-quality, ten year-old models will be replaced? That's up for SE to answer, not you.

Where's the danger in agreeing that they could be higher quality?
One of two things will happen: SE will replace them, or they won't.

Playing blind, as the majority of respondents have, is ensuring that SE will not respond at all.
I wonder how you'd all feel if ARR was, for all intents and purposes XI-2, with 100% copied assets?
Might I remind you that we're talking about 25%, give or take, of the monsters in the game.
It is not an insignificant amount.

As an avid XI player, I can see where you're coming from. I wish they had remastered those models. But they haven't, and it SHOWS.
