Copy and Paste?

This is the main difference between the designs -- So it's clearly designed after XI's iteration. It's funny how much of a problem people seem to have with SE's other FF MMO lol. Seriously, she was pointing out a similarity, and all of sudden you go into a nerdrage lol.

Calm down it's a video game.

It's not 'nerdrage' it's 'clueless younger gamers rage'. The tail was a minor addition, as the entire rest of the design is the same. I'd be willing to be the original concept art for IX contains the tail but they lopped it off in the game renders for reason related to the system's abilities.

Seriously, you are complaining about this? GTFO.

She just asked how people felt about it, how is that complaining in any shape or form? How about you use those eyes I'm sure you have and actually read the OP's post?

Not much changes around here, some of you seriously need a large dose of calm the frack down before your nerves shatter altogether, how exactly do you go through life? Are you freaking out at every tiny little opportunity all the time?

To the OP, it's a nice touch, I don't mind seeing some things from XI, Final Fantasy is a hodge podge of what past titles have brought and some new things as well. It fits in with the time/dimension warp we'll be 'experiencing' as well.

*reads more replies* *head desk*

You people are hopeless. *hugs OP* You will need them hugs. lolol.

Guys! Chocobos look the same as they do in the other games! I don't know how I feel about this rehashed use of content.

[Jennestia]

Well, it does look almost EXACTLY the same as the XI one, with the XIV one having a larger texture and better light mapping.

Like, exactly like XI's.

I don't have a problem with it personally, in fact when I saw that in the patch notes I got really excited

As did I, because It fits almost perfectly with what we're hearing about ARR -- Atomos has always been an odd summon and his use was amplified in XI storywise. The last story element prior to it was in FFIX where it just decimated Lindblum.

Thank you ^^. FFIX is a FF game I skipped and I played FF11 for almost 5 years. That link took me to a blank page. Honestly if I had a huge problem with this type of stuff I wouldn't have played 14 as much as I have. When I saw that picture I instantly thought of FF11 because they look exactly the same and it was right around the time I quit was when those things hit FF11.

*Whoops :P was response to your post Hulan*

It's similar to the other Atomoses (Atomosii?) but it's identical to the XI one.

This isn't a bad thing though. It's a homage, same as XI style Goblins.

[Alenore]

So a god/eikon gave us echo, and now atomos pops.
Yeah, not linked.

[Cendres]

It's a homage, same as XI style Goblins.

Yes I was happy they used the same goblin design as well, it's an XI creature I've come to be really fond of, even though many of them bombed me senseless many times over. XD

Some things may change alot, some things will look the same. Ifrit is pretty similar to alot of iterations, but not exactly.

Concidering the artistic asthetic of FF14, its probably a good look to keep it as they have.If i recall correctly FF10's Ifrit had a more island tribal look. But it fit the Aesthetic.

It also fits Yoshi-P's words of past elements. I don't really mind if they use extreamly similar or very different skins for the same things. My issue will be when they use the same story or situation for the things.

This guy is a floating time-hole (so to speak) But it is being used in a way relevant to FF14's Story. So fine by me ^^

And if they game him feathers, that would be ok too. ^^

Yeah, Goblins and Puddings are almost 1:1 with their XI counterparts and no one had a fit, everyone was generally cool with it.

Just like no one had a fit when Mandragoras looked the same in XII as they did in XI.

Just like no one is having a fit how FFXIV Behemoth looks just like it did in XI.

Just like no one had a fit that Behemoth looked the same in the FFIII DS remake as it did in XI.

The list goes on. This is Final Fantasy.
