Suggestion: a single player game called FFXIV: Legacy

I miss the REAL ferry.

I miss the settlement invasions (I forget what they were called), I miss being able to level up without having to go through forced-group gating, etc. etc.

The load free zones weren't inherently superior. The way they had to build the zones was clearly held back by this decision, and old zone design vs new world design is inherently subjective.

What forced-group gating leveling are you talking about?

For me, any way to experience 1.0 would work. I wanted to play it so badly, but my computer at the time could barely run Ragnarok Online, let alone FF. So there I sat, waiting and waiting for the PS3 release that never happened. And then boom, 1.0 died.

I remember being so hyped for 1.0. Then I read an article that detailed the xp system. That was the most ridiculously arrogant game design idea I've ever heard up to that point and since. I crossed that game off my buy list within seconds. I don't know much more about the atrocities when the game actually launched and the poor souls that played it, but the bits and pieces I did hear about over time were so BAD. It was definitely one of those "I just totally dodged a bullet" moments for me. Do not attempt to mention 1.0 ever again. Like, ever. lol

Let 1.X rest in peace

I'd buy it.

HRNNGGGHHH fack that mobile crap. Either put it on this gens consoles, portables, or steam with Final Fantasy 14 1.0 graphics. That would be awesome. Mobile Single Player game, Pfffffft.

I would like it if they just added all the 1.0 cutscenes to the Unending, also polish it up by adding 2.0+ changes to the videos.

I don't know Mobius Final Fantasy and Final Fantasy Dimensions are really good and are single player games on mobile devices.

Hamlet.... not sure if I genuinely liked hamlet, or convinced myself that I liked it because I had to do it SOOO much.

So you preferred the leve grinding parties? You had to hope you had the right leves, or nobody would play with you! Dunesfolk for dinner or NOTHING! I actually do miss this, it was craziness!

While I have lots of fun memories from 1.0, and I understand people's want to experience it, I think it is time to let it go. It's been gone for a long time, if you REALLY need it that bad, you're going to have to settle for YouTube or live vicariously through 1.0 players stories.

I wish all dead mmos did this. SMT: Imagine, Rusty Hearts (for that baller OST), and other suddenly dead or dying games that prioritized grinding and can't compete with Korean Cash shops or insta gratification MOBAs. Just toss the player a full party of DPS/Tank/Healer companions regardless of their own class and suddenly I'd fork over my life savings.
