They didn't even do that in FFXI dude. Almost all of the endgame NM's were copies of normal mobs, maybe slightly larger or slightly modified but all of the Sky and Sea gods were copies. Hell, even Absolute Virtue, nearly unbeatable, is a simple copy of an Aern. To some people I guess it matters. To me it's only a "Wow, looks cool, now kill it" the very first time.

For anyone who played Aion I'm sure the first time you saw Unstable Triroan you were impressed but how about 30 runs later? In the end, world graphics matter, gear graphics matter, enemy models don't in the long run. Unless they are epic mission bosses. Personally I would rather they spend time on a bosses skills and AI than what he looks like. Function over form any day, and I'm a flippin Graphic Artist...
