Square is risking BIG lawsuit with pictomancer...

[Sea-Wolf]

I don't know if they took inspiration from Artist from LoA, but I'm worried about BIG lawsuit coming from Nixon. Since Nixon owns LoA and has been very aggressive about lawsuit before. The only saving grace is that they are in Korea and Square is in Japan so it will be harder for them to sue. I think Square made a huge mistake because Pictomancer is too like Artist... If Nixon sues Square successfully they may need to delete Pictomancer from the game as a settlement, so hold off on leveling it for now... Wait and see.

Pictomancer came before LoA, and there's no copyright for "a person wielding a big paintbrush to attack enemies"

Relm sure looked nothing like the picture of Pictomancer for FFXIV. Art now can be copy righted.

Ahem. Pictomancer is made this year and revealed, Artist in LoA was made a few years ago...

Pictomancer appeared first with Relm Arrowny from Final Fantasy VI, which is from 1994.

Someone hasn't played previous Final Fantasy games it seems.

Begging on my hands and knees for people to play other FF games.

Also, nobody wants to get into a legal battle about this. Drawing to attack using brushes and paint appear in many different places in media. You'd have to have an extremely limited collection of media you've viewed if you think this is something that LoA invented and has exclusive rights to.

Yes, but Nixon has sued many people before, so Square is in trouble IMO.

Good thing your opinion about this is completely irrelevant then.
