You know a good part of players today never had the chance to play the story line in 1.0 because of the whole story being cut. It would be nice to give those who never finished, played or want to relive the story of 1.0 that opportunity again. Maybe to incorporate a means to "go back 5-10 years ago" and do the events of 1.0 as some sort of side story. Like the main characters start to remember the past & using the echo you do the events of that character :confused:
ff13 had datalog's that at least went over the story from the previous 13's if that makes sense. Something at least that simple should be added into the inn perhaps. I looked it up online to see what happened in 14v1 but it would be nice to have that info in game for people like me that have just started 14.
Unfortunately, SE stated long ago that once 1.0 was shutdown and ARR launched, 1.0's storyline was going to be over and abandoned, with the new ARR story completely rewritten, so any events connected to it were short term, once-only events. In fact, the Lodestone achievement for completing the 1.0 Seventh Umbral Era storyline was literally called 'Once in a Lifetime!' That's pretty conclusive it's not coming back, save for occasional Echo flashbacks.
Besides, ARR's storyline more or less deals with the same basic narrative that 1.0's storyline had (other than elements of the 7UE story), just the details are different, so having a special '1.0' story event would just be going over the same ideas again.
I'm not saying though that I want a complete re-do of the story. I mean at least some key events that took place that aren't available in 2.0 ^ like for example Fighting Nael Van Darnus. They easily were able to re-do fighting Ultima Weapon & Mog King so I don't see how doing that would be a problem.
