    Default Character Scale

    Did anyone get annoyed by the fact that enemy human soliders were almost 3x bigger than yourself? It'd be nice if they tried to be semi-realistic and make an enemy solider the same size as your characters.

    It's not just the soliders too, alot of monsters are just ridiculously big considering their HP is so low.

    I'm glad they corrected this in FF7. (Though they had the advantage of better console)

    FFXIV Character

    I think it was due to technical limitations. They couldn't make the playable characters as big and detailed as the enemies, because the playable characters have a lot of animations, while the enemies are just a still.

    Then why not make the enemies smaller?

    Because it wouldn´t be funny to fight small tiny bosses...i mean for example would you like to fight a mini version of Atma Weapon?

    Because that would make them look very boring. I don't really think the small sprites I control look very cool. Maybe funny and cute, though.

    The enemies look great as they are. Even if most of them don't move.

    I could care less if the enemy sprites are bigger than the character sprites.
