Copy and Paste?

[Venat]

I dont care... personally rather if they created a new Atomos. Rather them copy & paste and actually have time to make more stuff.

Id like to see more FFXI monsters.
Goblin Butcher
Eft
Large version of Orbon
Panademon Warden w/o the chair
Tarus demon beasts
Worms

I have no objections about seeing something that existed previously (whether from XI or not) being added into this game, as long as the reason(s) behind are legitimate and interesting. If it was put in simply because they ran out of ideas, then sure, it's a bad thing and has no purpose at all.

If, on the other hand, it serves a purpose, creates some lore and fits into the events, then what is the problem really. It seems to me that people are simply associating Atomos' appearance, not with the actual entity, but rather what it led to in XI. But even then, it's being associated with Abyssea over it's initial WotG purpose (it's relevant to both and fits well anyway). People need to stop bring those "OMG the game is gonna fail now that Atomos here" thoughts and just see how it goes. This isn't FFXI.

With regards to using previous concepts and such, there's probably going to be a lot of other things introduced into 2.0 that we've seen before (like Behemoths and that concept art of Ultima Weapon we saw that was ripped straight out of FFVIII and made a little prettier). It creates an air of familiarity and nostalgia and it makes me happy to see that inspiration (when new or old) is being drawn from older games. I'd get used to it, or don't stick around for 2.0.

Oh I have dealt with it.

I feel fear... not only does it look like a giant nomz... but Dalamund is directly behind it!!

The FFXIV version's tail bends to the side at the end, the XI doesn't. Case closed.

Did anyone ever stop to think that Atomos looks like it does because, oh I dunno... that's what it @#$%ing looks like? Would you rather them change things up a bit and make it looks like a cat?

I like how people see it and immediately think "abyssea!" when Atomos and cavernous maws were added to the game long before abyssea was even around.
