Why is FF16 just reusing assets from FF14?

[DiaDeem]

Why on Earth would you EVER start development from literal scratch when you already have a gigantic massive library of assets you can use?? Are you completely insane? Did you want a 6+ year development cycle? Are you one of those people who thinks every game ever needs to have unique-never-before-used assets? For crying out loud, FromSoftware has been reusing assets for YEARS, because that's how an intelligent developer works. All recent Resident Evil games? All re-use assets from 7 and onwards. New assets are always made, but some other stuff just gets reused. That's game development for you. I also think it's insane that you're attempting to judge gameplay, music and dungeons of a 60+ hour game based on a 25 minute showcase. Then you go and show whatever church/temple they're in and call it a Vault copy. Because we've never had a temple-like dungeon ever before in any other Final Fantasy or in gaming, so obviously the only reasonable conclusion is that it's just a copy of The Vault.
