Complete the quest after Second Coil in Waking Sands.
Urianger and Alisaie agree that Bahamut goofed in reproducing the likeness of Darnus. That's it. The unmasking was played entirely for momentary shock value. You never see nor hear Darnus in 1.0, so it would have been a nice little twist to find the big bad was elf F--the race/sex combo no one plays.

There are clearly a lot of people speculating who have never set foot in Turn 9. Nael deus Darnus refers to its old self as MALE. Bahamut just remade him as a female for some reason.

So yeah gender identity aside, the 1.0 nael had a trouser titan. -

Sorry but the retro feeling brought me here :( Sometimes i have to say i miss some quallity parts of 1.0. ;D
the openworld, the unique combat system.. the voice actors and cutscenes ;I -

Doesn't matter how much nicer the cutscenes looked back then, the game was garbage and failed horribly. What we have now is much more of a success and still manages to look better than most of the MMOs out there.

at least its group play (leves) and openworld which we dont have anymore due to wow copy&paste instances over and over.
sure it lacked at many points, content wise and so on. but at least it had more to do with final fantasy. gameplay wise. -
07-24-2015, 06:57 AMGysonDid you really just imply 1.0 didn't copy&paste over and over? I'm not sure I'd call a series of small rooms connected by corridors more "open world" either.Quote:

thats what you call a dungeon.Quote:

Well my opinion is: the best would have been if FFXIV ended up being a mixture between ARR and 1.0.
server structures and some content stuff from ARR. Graphics, voiceover, Cutscenes, Openworld and the unique combat system from FFXIV 1.0.
as the Combat system was very unique in comparison to ARR which we have seen millions of times in the MMO Genre. The CS of 1.0. reminded me more of a Final Fantasy , for example Final Fantasy XII. unluckily they changed the tp based combat system to standard button smashing aka WoW -
07-24-2015, 07:14 AMAshkendorIt took them almost 14 minutes to complete that levequest, most of which was just running around, for around 2k gil and a few thousand experience points. That's not my idea of a good time. The concept of an open world dungeon area is cool and all, but man I have to say that gameplay looked slow as hell. I don't think I could've played 1.x.Quote:

Oh I missed these opening cut scenes. I remember playing this with a bunch of friends when it first went into beta. So many good memories. Thank you for sharing :)!
