it's normal a game developer probably won't be using the fbx rather they will just use that to extract the model out of, I'd say you're not going to get it much smaller than that sir there is a certain amount of overhead in the fbx format about 21kb just to save out a single poly box

i manged to reduce it by 1KB!!! by running cleanup and i get rid of extra hidden Geometry

And i agree completely with you there is nothing more to do all my search result end up with the 3 steps above + this new one to optimize the mesh. there is another way to link the objects to each others " this helpfull in duplicated objects" but this wont help in my case
because i am looking to reduce Fbx not MA

i have no idea about the extra load in the file before Thanx for teaching me this information.

I also want to know how to reduce maya fbx file size and I am glad I have found my answer here. I have also found the https://www.topwritersreview.com/reviews/domyessay/ website link when I was searching for your post link on google search. My brother wants me to help him in searching for an essay writer and I will surely share that website link with my brother.
