Quote:Have a look a these Final Fantasy XIV maps. Each select that is repeated is marked with a corresponding circle, square, whatever and see what parts of FFXIV appear to be copied and pasted.

If companies didn't we would spend more than twice as long on the terrain and would never make any deadlines.

I love me some Kotaku, but sometimes they're just biased morons. T_T Stuff like this is the reason I left IGN.

Am I the only one who does not care one bit about the map as long as it is more accurate as the one in LotRO? I mean the graphic of these two places are not similiar are they? So why the heck care about a custom map.

*opens her streetmap* "Oh my god all my highways look exactly the same and look this forest it is the same as there. These cheap bastards!"

No, you're not the only one. Every game does this. It's necessary.

Pretty much, its basically akin to why a lot of anime have scenes where the characters don't move or sit and only speak, it saves a lot of money and gets the product out on time. Cutting corners is fine when you do it right.

Mother Nature does it too. I swear I see the same patch of grass and tree everywhere I go. Freaking real life. Even it isn't realistic Laugh

I like how just about every comment on the article is basically ridiculing the author.

I thought this one comment from there was pretty hilarious. XD

Quote:Kotaku should instead investigate about the tear in the time/space continuum because we're playing a bad PS3 port 6 months before the PS3 version is released!

I saw it, and facepalmed. It doesn't matter enough to make me rage.

Like every single non-instanced cavern or fort in WoW wasn't a copy/paste... Tongue

Well Warcraft knows alot about production logistics and therefore have regulations for size and architecture of buildings. Saves money and allows a quick rebuild after every orc or legion war.
