Current Mob sizes

[Bethor]

The recent update with the change of the mob sizes... is... driving me crazy. I mean for little mobs as with those squirrels it's ok. Since they're pretty detailed and stuff.. but a friend and me did a leve with those toads/frogs yesterday.

And that toad had like 3/4 of my screen size. Like a fu*****ing skyscraper.

Please reduce the mob size ;; Unless it's like a huge dragon.. it can stay that big :P But those oversized mobs are really destroying the atmosphere

Even the toads are bigger?! That is pretty crazy. Like the ones in Mor dhona? I remember exploring that place and those toads were huge. I'm going to have to start a new journey to see all the monster sizes. Question, are the Goobbues bigger O_o ?

[babycakin]

I totoally agree, everything got too big, shrink em down just a bit >.< lol

[DeadRiser]

They should put most of them back to their normal size since we have that new targeting system...

I agree with the mob size. For some Mobs it's okay. I like the new size of the Puks and the Plant-Type-Mobs. But even those i wouldn't have made THIS big. I also don't like the new size of the squirrels. I always imagine such a squirrel on a tree and i think the size of the mobs just dosn't fit in anymore with the size of the surroundings.

Just yesterday, when i thought about it, i had to think of the movie Avatar. Everything on this planet is big. The animals are, but the trees and plants are to, and so are the Na'vi. And if a human steps in, you just see how they don't fit in this world, as small as they're.

Now in FFXIV, the mob size inscreased. But the size of the surroundings, like flowers and trees, didn't. And now i've this feeling the world dosn't fit anymore. It just feels out of place now. Those Mobs, with their size, would totally just trample everything in their way down with their size and weight now.

Or ist it just me who feels like that? I mean, on earth... there was also a time where the animals were bigger then part of the surroundings. I just say: Dinosaurs! But if i look at FFXIV... i can't help but to feel displaced. D:

Dodos are huge, but to us Lalafells. . .EVERYTHING is big to us, but now, we can use the Squirrels as mounts! At least I wish ; ;

1.16 has really destroyed my sense of proportion in this game.. Mobs are huge just for the sake of being huge now, you can tell some weren't designed to be as large as they now are.. LS flags are for some reason gigantic, along with the Rank/Level Up animations. Everything is out of proportion and thus just looks silly. These sorts of things will only make it easier for me to leave this game - maybe I should be thankful?

I wholeheartedly agree! It's been making me feel like all the player characters have been shrunk down. Larger enemy models doesn't equate to more ferocious-looking monsters, S-E!

They need to be a little more selective with how they're picking monsters to increase in size. Marmots and smaller creatures absolutely, but cactuars don't need to be 5-feet fall, nor do puks and gnats. 6-foot dodos are pretty fantastic, though

I do like the larger level-up animations though. I'd like it if they brought back the fanfare for personal level-ups as well.

[BelgianRofl]

Yes. They need to roll back the mob sizes. Why would they have even spent time on this in the first place? There are bigger fish to fry.

so i have this theory, me and some LS mates were talking about ffxiv coming to the PSP2 since its as powerful as the PS3. increasing the size of the mobs will make it easier to target on a PSP2 small touchscreen. i personally dont mind the increase in size. if someone were to start playing today, they wouldn't have a problem with it cause they never knew how small they were before. i mean look at the doomtoads in ffxi, they were huge too
