    at the risk of sounding anal you dont know what reskin means
    khrysokhimaira was an obvious reskinning of khimaira but this is not a reskin
    at best you can say they were lazy and maybe took them khim model as a base to create this one instead of making one from the ground up (and as mentioned they likely have already reused skeletons like Tchakka vs Bismarck) but that still is more than "edit old texture and apply glue"

    Different stance, different proportions, lower profile. It's about as similar as the UFOs are to the tree Naakual, but no one is popping veins over that one. It's like no one bothered to even look at a picture of Khim.
    Lion head, Gallu feet?, behemothish body though that musculatur is rather odd almost like they combined different body types or at least sizes for front and back, Ram horns, weird scorpion tail, diabolos wings

    this is not what reskin means
    also if they had to do extensive work to put in the icicles, change proportions and stuff and made sure it all meshed together well how is it effort-wise any different from taking a yovra skeleton and designing a tree around it

    If it doesn't use the EXACT SAME polygon model then it isn't a reskin
    (even this and this is not a reskin. its a bit of both)

    it isn't even like Kumhau is just Khimaira with slight modification. it's really just the lion head that looks more or less the same.. the rest is different. You see this with a whole lot of mobs already. Khim appears to have a slightly worked Behemoth body. Yztarg butt is similar to Khimaira. It's just that there really arent that many ways to do a beast body.

    What some people are saying here is like going up to a zebra in real life and telling God it was reskinned from a horse.

    The movement and skeletons of some mobs are similar. Yumcax feels like a Kraken or a Yovra in it's behavior, Tchakka seems similar to Bismarch which seems very similar to a Hpemede.

    It's actually a tiger's skelleton/polygon model with mane, look at the shape of Khim's muscles on the front legs vs Kumhau's and a Tiger's, Kum and Tigers have 4 fingers too, Khim has 3. Body proportions Kumhau and Tigers are more alike, than Khimairas.

    Looks like a totally new skeleton to me but I could be wrong. It definitely looks like Khim in the face but that's it. Really, the reason it doesn't look as unique as the others is because there's already a lot of big cats in the game. You can't really make a lion look like something else and call it a lion anymore. They could have gone another route and added a totally unique beast, like say a bear, and there wouldn't be anything in the game it would look like really. But an ice bear would be pretty derivative.

    not that it matters, but i just think its funny you say this since we got a water shark, a tornado bee and an earth tree

    Didnt the art work make this nm look more like a bear than lion? I know lolartwork, but the others seem mostly accurate.

    The new forum is just a reskin and I do not approve. 1/10 would not bang.

    Only if it had some kind of strange sigil on it's flank and they named it Jolfr.

    And just like FFXI itself, they didn't translate everything into English....
    Spoiler: show
    I'll take similar looking 'new' mobs, over XIV's direct lifting of FFXI/XII models at any rate

    ...and that's all we need to know. Other than Barblizzara in a few weeks.

    Also, how many people think that hearing some version of THIS is inevitable, given the connecting link between Western and Eastern Adoulin?
