Things from 1.0 era that could return

Just two words....

Hamlet Defence

I feel like the issue there is that the Scions aren’t the Path of the Twelve. But they aren’t the Circle of Knowing, either.

But the resulting merged group seems to be trying to still hold to the individual charters of its two component groups, despite the fact that one (the Circle’s “Sharlayan renegades throwing aside tradition and coming to try to aid the Eorzean city-states“) doesn’t really fit well with the other (the Path’s “we are the secretive, hidden organization that studies the Echo and tries to find ways to use it for the greater good“).

It made a lot of sense that the secretive Echo-powered group would aid the public “we must organize and rally together to solve problems” group. It makes somewhat less sense for them to operate as the same group from a practical standpoint, even if it makes NARRATIVE sense that Louisoix would tell the other Archons of the Circle of Knowing to go throw in with Minfilia if he didn’t make it back from Carteneau.

I probably wouldn't have liked 1.0 very much.

If you looked into the history of 1.0, the gaming community pretty much agreed with you. So despite the fond reminiscing of some cherry-picked aspects of the original game here in this thread, the game crashed and burned, BADLY.

If you want to know more, there are some good videos on youtube which highlight how the game was back then, both the good and the very, VERY bad.

there's a noticeable difference in the miqo butts.

(yes, I am very passionate. My miqo has a flat butt. I've always yearned for a 1.0 miqo body, ever since I found out there was a difference.)

I have said before to folks who wish they played 1.x that 1.x was a horrific mass of technical jank and questionable design choices. It's just a horrific mass of technical jank and poor design choices that we can, on occasion, be nostalgic about. Now that we're at a safe distance.

The marketplace used to run like our housing system does now! There were instanced market wards, and if you were able to get one of the market stalls in those wards, you could put a retainer out with inventory to sell (like you can in the front yard of your house even now). And instead of a search engine, you got to go wander through each market ward, talking to each retainer at each stall to see if they were selling things! Doesn't that sound amazing? :D

I wonder if the relevant data exists anywhere in Square's storages, and if it does maybe someone could convince the devs to let people have it to setup a server for it.

Yoshida was asked about 1.X servers a few years ago. His response was "Nightmare!"
