This is why the mandragoras are basically the same but the petal is what's different so I don't mind the straight import since they do more than just copy/paste it like some other MMOs that won't be named have done with FFXI models lol.
I think this was the general intention from the start, if you look at the limit break trailer, the yellow dragon is just modernised from FF4 (Correct me if I'm wrong though, it might've appeared much earlier than 4), but I'm kind of looking forward to seeing monsters like this from the older games in the series.




I'm also only posting this to leave a book mark since I'm going out now too lol ^^
