“Brave Ground” is an upcoming event for role-playing game GranBlue Fantasy. I feel like I’ve seen it before.

Yes, yes I have.
As My Game News Flash points out, the logo appears to resemble Final Fantasy XIV’s emblem.

One response to “This Role-Playing Game Event Logo Sure Looks Familiar”
Hmm, at least it’s original art even if they did copy the idea. They could have literally copy pasted it.
It’s an interesting problem when you look at copyright and IP in art. After all if you looked at portrait painting or landscape painting they’d all have strong similarities *overall* but they’re still considered different because, well they are different.
Don’t get me wrong, I believe the art in this case was done deliberately to cash in on brand recognition. Which is pretty dodgy.
