Why is FF16 just reusing assets from FF14?

[RyuDragnier]

Huh, an obvious Titanmen alt starting crap again. Color me unimpressed.

The exact thing I had in my head of this lmfao. Just repeated head trauma from slapping it, like my guy, calm down.

Nope, first of all because they're not billions and you're just using that word arbitrarily for shock value and actually means nothing. And second, because only insane people complain about such a common practice.

Best part is the link he posted about the supposed "billions" has 0 upvotes and only a handful of comments, most of which disagree with the original post complaining about reused assets.

What is the problem with reused assets? Doesn't that mean the development team is smart and focusing their attention on more important things? I fail to see the problem.

Art teams and composers actually have a style? Who would have thought.

Honestly I'm just not very excited about it because it seems to lock you into being standard sword boy. Maybe they just haven't shown anything else but nothing so far nothing suggests that you can use different weapons or that there will even be other party members regularly. Also unsurprisingly the summons you appear to have access to are the same ones from FFXIV, why the obsession with Titan Garuda Ifrit Bahamut and Phoenix.

Cause they're staples of the series?

I mean in RE5 Chris punched a friggin boulder, so I assume his face is quite sturdy too (lol)

So are Shiva, Ramuh and Leviathan.

They're in it, too, though Levi has just been hinted at on a mural so far.

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
