Square is risking BIG lawsuit with pictomancer...

[Edmund_Blackadder]

This talk of a so called "lawsuit" is comical at best. Besides Pictomancer has existed in FF universe long before League of Angles revealed the "artist" class in 2022. For clarity's sake one only needs to look at this image of FF6 [circa 1994]

When you play games like FF14 or LoA, at the start the there is a small footnote at the bottom saying Copyright Symbol Square Enix or Copyright Symbol Nixon.... That means the entire game is copyright, including the class design like Artist...

Bullshit. Copyright doesn't cover ideas, only specific expressions of them. So the idea of a paintbrush-wielding class is not and cannot be covered by copyright.

Using paintbrush to attack is copyright by Nixon.

No, it is not. Using paintbrush to attack is not something that can be protected by copyright.

I don't know if they took inspiration from Artist from LoA, but I'm worried about BIG lawsuit coming from Nixon.

You are the one who should be worried about a lawsuit. I bet you did not have permission to post those images in your first post. In which case you may be guilty of copyright infringement for doing so.

This topic has got to be a troll. Right?

He's had the actual function of the law briefly explained to him and he's still pretending to be clueless, so yeah.

As I explained earlier, Relm didn't use a paintbrush to attack, she draw the enemy and make the enemy attack. Using paintbrush to attack is copyright by Nixon.

Nixon owes Koei money! This was over a decade earlier:

Call of Duty is risking a BIG lawsuit with guns...

I don't know if they took inspiration from Guns from Battlefield, but I'm worried about BIG lawsuit coming from EA. Since EA owns Battlefield and has been very aggressive about lawsuit before. The only saving grace is that they are useless and Activision has that Microsoft money so it will be harder for them to sue. I think Activisio made a huge mistake because gun is too like another gun... If EA sues successfully they may need to delete guns from the game as a settlement, so hold off on playing it for now... Wait and see.

Again I explain XD

Guns are very common so it becomes in the public domain, or "creative commons", that's what CC means. But (C) means copyright. Sooo artist is actually copyrighted since it's not common, but guns are in commons.
