    Anyone else want big, thick(thicc if that's what you go for :P) tails on Ananta? Please like up. They are like a "half-naga" tribe atm with their tiny, floaty tails.
    Because their models, like 95% of all new mobs added in SB, are ripped directly from FFXI.

    No. I meant literally copy and pasted models from FFXI.

    Other models that have been literally lifted from FFXI in SB:

    Chapuli
    Fluturini
    Cardians
    Matamata
    Rocs

    Other FF games use same monsters too, but they're always redrawn/redesigned. FFXIV doesn't redesign them, they just literally copy'pasta them from FFXI, same with Ananta, which are pulled from a 15 year old game's resources lol.

    Interesting video that touches on just a fraction of the borrowed mobs as well as their thoughts on how it works with lore (or doesnt) as well as other things.

    And in a weird twist of fate, FFXI actually took some from XIV as well. Namely, the Salamander mobs made up one of the bosses in SoA.
