Square is risking BIG lawsuit with pictomancer...

[ShinyChariot]

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

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.

Sarcasm aside, I'm still kind of impressed by how aesthetically unappealing XIV's take on a combat artist managed to be compared to virtually every other iteration of such.

I would've much preferred a Hingan inkbrush aesthetic with more aggressive brushstrokes that actually exude a sense of power vs. magical girl-esque twirling and pretty colors.

Why is this post sounds like another Palworld / Pokemon dilemma?

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.

Do you know how old JoJo is?

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

your post history is a detrement. because i can see from it you have a history of obviously bait threads like this. i just wish people would stop feeding it

Good thing your opinion about this is completely irrelevant then.

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.

Bait used to be believable

I kinda love how silly this bait is. On top of that signature. I don't know that voidswnt would be capable of romantic love.

I still want to know who the heck is "Nixon". Other than one of Presidents of the United States over 50 years ago.

The closest I've come to associating "Nixon" with Lost Ark is this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1ubQu5ms7I
