Copy and Paste?

[Kiote]

"Copy and Paste?" is the title in which I asked a question ^^; in the post I asked how people from FF11 felt about seeing a nearly identical piece of story content because I genuinely didn't know how to feel about it. If those aren't identical then I need new glasses ^^.

You should then probably be made to know that "Copy/Paste" is a massive insult to this games community because how badly people who never gave the game a chance past level 10 flamed it's "Copy/paste environment" in reviews despite that same technique having been used in every other MMO ever made.

If you don't want to piss people off, you should learn something about your audience. This one is pretty notorious for backlash..

IMO, it;s not copy/paste, it's Atomos. That's just what he looks like. Yes, he has the same tail he received in XI, but that's because he's not a stationary Summons anymore. The only time he does not look like that is in FFXII where they ruined every summon.

its *final fantasy* element, I think it doesnt matter if it looks the same like in older version. Question is - why it should be original all time ? This is Atomos as people might know it, and why the heck - why not ?
This is not copy and pasted. Copy and pasted is what they have done to maps..

On the topic of familiar FF elements...did anyone else cringe when they first saw Goblins in FFXIV, and then do a double-take when you realized that they weren't aggressive? Oh yes, so many fond memories of death-by-goblin in XI ^^ I'm still wary when I run by the higher leveled ones in XIV, like the "non-aggressive" icon is going to turn red as I run by and I get troll-pwned. Anyways, what were we talking about again? Oh yea, I like the Atomos model.

XI created these things.


Atomos
Bahamut
Cid
Red Mage
Black Mage
White Mage
Dragoon
Monk
etc.

I hope you are sarcastic here. lol. Because everyone should know by now that FFXI had everything copied from ff1 to ffX.

^^; yes darling, he was being facetious.

I'm a FFXI player, that's ashamed to be called a FFXI player, cause too many FFXI players have a rep of being whiners, stuck-up, snobbish or blatantly ignorant. . . .

As for the topic, it didn't make me pee my pants like the FFIX one did, that's for sure.

I felt a bit of horror myself when i saw atomos in the update notes. I was like omg not abyssea again. Then I calmed down and realized it easily can be something completely unrelated. My only other concern, that is extremely small is, the last time we saw atomos added to the game, that game pretty much went to crap, imo. It was complete easy mode after that. And this game is already easy-mode so hopefully it wony get any easier lol. I played FFXI for like 9 years, I even played into abyssea for a time. I'll admit I enjoyed it, but it really did change the game for the worse. But that's just my opinion, take it however you want. There are people that agree, and people that disagree. I've had high hopes for FFXIV sense the beginning, and stuck with it all this time, so I'm definitely not going to freak out and rage quit about seeing atomos, i don't even know how its going to change the game further, besides what we are seeing today. But the point of the OP was to find out how people felt i think initially, and i will admit i was shocked and horrified at first. But just like wind waker, I got over it and enjoyed the hell out of it.
