Why is FF16 just reusing assets from FF14?

So are Shiva, Ramuh and Leviathan.

And shiva, ramuh and leviathan are in the game too

yet they seem inaccessible to you, guess you better like Titan Garuda and Ifrit then. Really this is a bit of a frivolous complaint and wouldn't bother me so much but the combat system seems to only foster one kind of play style while previous titles in the franchise had given players much more control over strategy and style. Turn based titles allowed you to form a party and strategy that suited you, and even XV allowed you to use different weapons even if it was sorely lacking in other areas. Maybe it will be different but right now it just looks so rigid.

I mean if you looked at the latest trailer you literally see clive use Ramuh and Shiva's powers. Heck this was even in the older trailers at points, you just have to pay attention. It's obvious that you like turn based so 16 combat and trailers are not going to be interesting to you so you probably would be less likely to notice these details. Maybe next game will be turn based, though i kinda doubt it since more people like action over turn based. I personally wouldn't mind another combat system like 13. Also base 15 was pretty rigid all its own, while yea you could change weapons it really never felt that great.

Turn based isn't necessary, but some kind of difference in styles or approaches would be welcome. If you prefer to be at a distance and maybe use mostly or only magic, or maybe even a ranged weapon then you are just plain out of luck it seems, swords only and sword combos only.
