Why is FF16 just reusing assets from FF14?

[Seraphor]

I don't think you understand what "reusing assets" means. All of these are new 'assets', because they were created for 16. They might be reusing some ideas or concepts though.

Nobuo Uematsu reused several melodies between FF's 6, 7, 8 and 9. (check out 7's The Nightmare Begins and compare it to the opening of 8's The Extreme)
Meanwhile 14 and 16's scores each feature Masayoshi Soken.

Liquid Flame debuted as an enemy in Final Fantasy 5, not 14, and is not the first enemy to be used across multiple games.

The first seven Final Fantasies all used the same font.

Churches and cathedrals exist.

First they reuse assets for dungeon gear and bosses. But now even FF16 is just reusing assets from FF14... So are they just going to reuse assets over and over again now even in completely new titles?

The main combat music in FF16 is just a reused asset from Eureka...

They also reused Liquid Flame,



which is a boss from FF14...



which in itself is a reused asset from A3...



And they even reuse the font for HP and MP??



which is literally just copied from FF14...



And even the dungeons look copied from FF14...





So can they stop reusing assets and actually make brand new content?? I've already given up hope on FF14 but they're doing that to every FF from now it seems.

Well, I highly recommend that you don't watch any series of Star Trek, since that series is all but famous for reusing sets (particularly Starship bridges) and props.

Guys dont tell OP how Square reused assets in the first 3 FF games. Thatll really get him ticked

[FatalFatalis]

This just sounds like massive bait to me.
I guess it worked.

The real question to the OP is why does he keep wasting money buying new copies of FF to get around his forum bans. How many copies is this now? Seems likes money would be better spent elsewhere.

What I'm interested in knowing is what ChrisRedfield1 has to say about this

I heard OP left his wife because she reused assets, when she had twins.

okay, that made me laugh.

But why are we arguing about this when we should be KILLING CHAOS!

Upscaling and changing the textures a little bit doesn't count as creating new assets lmao
