Yes, I know there is a FFXI forum, but most people dont go there.

I think you all want to see this injustice:

They messed cactuars up bad :/

so were the cactuars in previous FF games. They were all japanese

They were ALL very similar. They all walked on one leg, and were tilted 45 degrees. These cactuars are too human, if you know what i mean.

I don't know how to be sexy. If I catch a girl looking at me and our eyes lock, I panic and open mine wider. Then I lick my lips and rub my genitals. And mouth the words "You're dead."

Leave it to me to be FFXI purist but I don't really mind the new look.

It IS like the traditional model, just shriveled up, dried out, and mutated.

Kinda creepy, actually.

I'd prefer ff7/8/X bahamut, really.

Bahamut ZERO was fucking awesome.

Um.. that's not the original... The original you never got to fight so all you get is the gimpy little 8-bit sprite...

Say that to his attack abilities :/

And Fal, Cataur in previous games were just simple 2 frame sprites(Yes, even the 3D games.) You know how lame that'd look in an MMORPG?

Actually, in FFX they had quite a few more frames.

But they still had the "character" of a cactuar, if you know what I mean.

Hell, if you have to, smooth up the animations. take it 3D like it was in FFX. But don't make em look like...this
