They Might Be Giants

I know there was something in the previous patch about resizing monsters accordingly to scale with Lalafells. But I never remember anything about resizing monsters in the way I thought they would.

Honestly, I just tried to log in and everything is wtfhuge to my Lalafell now. Not to mention, I have no idea what I'm doing anymore.

How do the piestes look to you?

If I find any, I'll cozy up to them and compare...

Piestes are Jurassic park quality, they're as big as a T rex.

F-ing awesome. Now I don't have to worry about a scaly rat sneaking up on me. I'm interested in how their wyverns (ie., Vrtra) will be handled. Hopefully it would be an epic visual feast and I wouldn't mind dying many times to experience that up close.

You know I was perfectly fine with the size of the mobs before. Now they'll be like in FFXI where you can't see the damn head if you are standing near it and are a Taru (ya ya Lalawhatever).

Is this really the most important thing they could be working on? I mean sure you could argue that this change probably could have been made by an intern in an afternoon, but that's an afternoon an intern could have been working on something that actually mattered worth a damn.

Dude. Taskmage. We're talking about FFXIV here.

I'd argue that the changes were needed because of the scaling issues regarding graphical inconsistencies which introduces technical problems which the game does not need at this time. Plus it helps to give a sense that the land isn't as barren as it originally conveyed when the monsters were tiny compared with just about everything else.

it's a good improvement, mew.

Nice try.

Re: They Might Be Giants

Still waiting on Lalafell posing next to wyrm (Happy Feba?) screenshots. There's a lalafell up there but my angle and distance doesn't do it great justice.

Every time I see a FFXI screenshot I'm like "ooh, pretty!" and then a voice in my head is like "IT'S A TRAP!"

Re: They Might Be Giants

I'm not saying the change is needless or useless, but all the tweaking in the world isn't going to bring players back to the game and I'd bet the effect on whether people stay is minimal.
