JPN Fanfest Details Thread!

That's an argument SE cant win. If they use the same designs they are lazy. If they don't people complain that it doesn't feel Final Fantasy enough. Final Fantasy is very much a brand and people expect iconic references to that brand.

A dreadnought is hardly iconic, they just couldn't be bothered to make new enemies is what the person you're quoting is getting at so they went the cheap and easy and just imported

The Clockwork Knights are created by the Allags. It has nothing to do with FFXIII's world. The same will apply to the Ochu.
Eorzea itself is possibly smaller than FFXII's overall map (if we assume Hume and Hyur's are roughly the same size), which is actually a tiny part of Ivalice itself. Ivalice is too massive to be a part of Hydaelyn.

Where did the pulse text come from then?

You realise that has been in a number of FF games. I first faught something like that in FF7.

No, it's only been in FFXIII, that model literally comes from XIII
This is what you're thinking of

I don't think you quite get what model importing is...

Yeah, cause there is nothing even vaguely similar between the Dreadnaught and the Sweeper.... /sarcasm.

FF games are always referencing older games. That is my point. Its a characteristic of Final Fantasy games.

They're similar in design, yeah, that's probably what the dreadnought was influenced by in Final Fantasy XIII
I'm saying the 3D model used in XIII was used in XIV? Much like XII's mobs were reused in XIV...why is that so hard to understand?

It's clearly the same

Are you saying they should have just made an entirely new model when they had perfectly good models for a call back to an older game?

There is a difference between being lazy and being efficiency with resources. Laziness applies that they copied the model so they didn't have to work as hard. Efficiency means using existing resources so you can invest your time into other work.

From being lazy (though they are all called "Clockwork Knights" and "Soldiers") in the copy paste? I mean, we have FFXI's Mamool Ja, Qiqirn and Goblins in FFXIV, but we know Vana'diel is not on Hydaelyn.

That's fair enough I guess.
