[Spoilers] About the ending of the 4 beasts story

[Deithwen]

Hello everyone,

First of all, I'd like to wish you all a happy new year and all the best.

Now about the main topic, I wonder if I was the only one disapointed by Oryu's design, which is just a bigger version of the Kirin mount.

We've been teased about Oryu's come back since Byakko, and tried to prevent that. When it happens, we are meant to expect a huge and powerful yellow dragon. How in the world Kirin's huge dad is supposed to be Oryu ?

This is a reused asset, the only difference being it's bigger than the original. Same shape, same colours, same ... everything.

It felt really weird, because it's so obvious.

It doesn't feel right, for a MMO as big as FF14, to reuse assets in this way (and keep in mind that I'm not against assets being reused because it happens a lot in video games in general). But this felet completly out of the place, and plain laziness.

It actually felt like watching a Machinimia, made by fans.

I only see one explanation to this : they didn't have a new model ready for the update's release and chose to use this one instead. In any case, this isn't (in my opinion) okay.


I am quite disapointed by this, and it makes me question the game's direction a lot. I'd like to know how you feel about it.
