Sometimes I wonder if the majority of XI players have played any other FF's besides XI. Really irksome to hear "That mob looks like XI's mob! XIV COPIES!" /sigh
Eh, it's a fair complaint for some. FF has always reused ideas and names, but outright repeating the exact same design is still a relatively new thing in FF for the most part so there's bound to be more noticable backlash when a game does as much of it as XIV does.
Would've rather they reused FFX's Ochu for XIV's Ochu rather than reusing XI's Rafflesia. And I would've preferred they not use Pugils at all, though I like XI's crabs so that one's cool.
I like the reused mobs from XII and XIII so far though. Wouldn't mind seeing all the Mandragora variations from XII show up. Maybe have a dungeon with the Mandragora Princes as a boss fight again.
