Strangers in paradise is an incredibly badly written piece of travesty with its only saving grace being that it is funny in a bad way but has good gameplay systems. Re-using skeletons is a non-issue, how dare they use something that would actually cater to the monster they want to make...it's called being resourceful...why make something new when you can repurpose what you have. Sigh please people ignore this troll because it's borderline sad now.

I refuse to believe you've played any FF game beyond your wildest aveyond dreams...er I mean beyond FFXIV. You have no clue about the series besides XIV. This is your only game. Accept the fact

Thing is if they had played FF4 you would see that outside of say Rubicante, all the fiends had more screen time in 14 than in the game they're from, Scarmiglione especially because they were canon fodder in FF4.

Pretty much this. Just like with many things this game borrows from previous titles (which other FF games have done numerous times before. This isnt anything new with FFXIV) they give new meaning to the familiar. So them expanding on Golbez and the Four Fiends using the framework giving in FFXIV is kinda neat imo. Ive played FFIV multiple times; certainly more than aveyond-dreams, and as someone who's a fan of the old school, I very much enjoy what they do with the stuff they pull from. Its not like Kingdom Hearts where they just half-ass the FF references or completely ruin the original. Like Vivi in KH2...ugh..
