    Me too, I hope this trend ends after release. I can understand that they're on a tight schedule so it's easier to borrow designs from XI, but they could at least change the designs slightly or use XI's early concept art - for example:



    Even just changing Fenrirs colour makes me feel like it's not a direct copy, but instead we're getting a XI Fenrir clone :/

    wut? a lot of stuff they are using isn't ffxi models. iron giants for instance. behemoth is another, instead of that overweight horns on places that shouldn't have horns one in FFXI. yellow dragon is another... then there's siren, amon, deathclaws, the succubi, etc, etc...

    personally i think you guys just have your blinders on, because ffxi models stand out to you while the non ffxi models fade in your mind. there's plenty of stuff in the game that isn't direct ffxi copies.

    In my opinion there's still too many mobs that are exact copies of XI's, and I don't want that to last all through XIV's life. The great thing about FF games is that the theme and idea of the mob recurs but the design is totally different.

    Mandragoras, Goobbues, Bats, Imps, Cactuars, Raptors, Adamantoise, Bombs, Opo-opos, Apkallu, Peistes, Birds, Flans, Goblins, Qiqirn, are all cloned straight from XI, and i'm sure there's a few more (not counting player races). It's fun and nostalgic to see these "in HD" but they should at least extend this concept to pull models from VII/VIII/IX/X/X-2/XII/etc. if they are going to port over designs as much as they are.

    Original is definitely better though.

    (IX's mandragoras are underappreciated!)

    Yeah, I'd also like to see more models either from older games or totally new.

    I dont give a shit if they use mobs like Genbu for lower level content like that Behest type thing in the picture but I'd be pissed if we'd go into crystal tower and he's in there as a boss.

    Adamantoise is not an exact copy of XI's, only the shell.
    Either way I don't mind, especially for Goblins and Mandragoras. XI has the best design for both.

    Yea, I'm sure the slight changes they wanted for the adamantoise's lower jaw made them re-start the model from scratch.

    An exclamation point? I know it meant seek party in XI, but don't count your chickens yet.

    XI has the best design anyway, I don't mind it much.

    I hope that big turtle is called "Gilgame" and just rapes random people when they pick up random gil on the ground, Gilgame was a boss.
