Why is FF16 just reusing assets from FF14?

I'm no game dev, but if I could get away with re-using stuff from a previous iteration of the game rather than having to build them entirely from scratch, I'd do so. I'd bet it saves on so much Dev time.

So serious response. I think this is true but it really depends on what's being presented in the game, and just how good the game itself is in general.

So there's nothing to really judge, because you can't really judge whether or not the reused materials are fitting(or are tweaked enough to be fitting) or if they're immersion breaking or anything like that. Also, if there's a lot of content in the game then it's worth it to have reused assets appearing at different points.


The game isn't even out yet so there's no way to actually judge any of that right now.
