Why is FF16 just reusing assets from FF14?

[Rymi64]

So are Shiva, Ramuh and Leviathan.

And shiva, ramuh and leviathan are in the game too

Square Enix is a company known for their originality in their works and never borrowed and reused ideas.

I am willing to bet they are even so unoriginal that the game has a Cid...

which although borderline tradition, would be a reuse of name assets.

no interest in 16 myself, but if the OP is so concerned... maybe they shouldnt buy it, unless they are just popping this out there to be a troll

hey did you guys know that one of the early resident evil games and megaman legends shared the same menu noise

assets get reused all the time in companies. it isn't that unusual. i don't mind it unless a game uses the same asset repeatedly, such as eureka orthos using enemy models that are supposed to be from literal dead planets on the edge of the universe somehow.

I am on the FFXVI looks "Eh...okay... wait until it goes on Gamepass or PS Plus" bandwagon, but imo......it does not look like reused assets, but more of the same. More of the same XV type $hit.

Said it before, will say it agian.....

The last FF masterpiece was XI, the last good one was XII.......Beyond that is a mix of Persona, WoW & Bayonetta 3. Ironically, XI & XII were turn based -esque....

*Hint, Hint......*

This is why FF13 failed btw, because it reused too many things from FF12...

Id say it failed because of the Paradigms Battle System, and because it was a Linear game all the way until Chapter 11 where the game finally opens up....and it puts you in a HUGE Directionless Open Field full of enemies Above your level, that barley give any EXP, and its a Massive Grind spot which slows the game down to a halt.
And XIII-3 was basically an Adaption of Noahs Ark with Lighting Being a Cosplay Girl.
XIII had ALOT of Problems, and it doesnt have to do with XII.

XIII-2 Id say was pretty solid. Its just that I hate Time Travel Themes.

On that note, can I have the option to upgrade my FFXIV UI fonts/textures to the XVI versions? Both that health bar and the nameplates, for instance, look so much cleaner.

But why are we arguing about this when we should be KILLING CHAOS!

Already pwnt him on BLU.

I need the ability to reply with a laugh emoji at comments like yours, from the ridiculousness of them. The last masterpiece was XI? The last good one was XII? Riiiggghhtttt.

And turn based is dead in FF. You can find it in other games, but it's not coming back for Final Fantasy.
