A lot of the 1.0 sceneries are terribly bland. Yes, the texture resolutions may be higher. But the worlds are vastly empty. It looks far from amazing, or realistic. It has the appearance of any random Korean grind MMO. I'm glad they took the current direction in terms of graphics. Yes, the texture resolutions may be lower however the world is much less empty in return.

And even with that, performance for many players is minimal. If they'd throw in higher resolution textures on top of it the PS3 would be far from the only limitation holding the graphics of this game back. Many PC gamers would end up being forced to upgrade into more current-gen gfx cards.

Let's hope Heavnsward lets go of ps3 and its limitations!

Go above SE, above the ps3. Ps4 and PC are above

Probably not until 4.0. Don't get me wrong, I'd love for them to show us what they can do without the limitations, but I believe they mentioned that they won't drop PS3 support until way after 3.0.

One last batch of screenshots >< I promise.

Back in Excalibur with an awesome GM in a role play event. The guy in the subligar is Cloudio Onizuka. He was well known for his taste in fashion.

Loved using this move. I think it was Dragon Kick.

I think we can all remember seeing this at least once. I think this was the node at Cedarwood. Dem RMTs.

Lets not forget the bad either, like one of my favorite visual issues with my character.

My main character and alt account back in 1.0 in overlooking Coerthas and Dalamud during the final hours of 1.0 (before my main character's sex/race change)

Seems to be about the only 1.0 pic I can find from that time, the rest were all way before the End of an Era event started heh. I do like the way Coerthas was in 1.0, not covered in snow!

The only one to remember by...

Maybe I'm nostalgia-driven, but I'd give a lot to run through the old 1.x world again.
I'm no Gridania fan (Limsa all the way!) but the old Shroud is way more to my liking since playing in the new one for over a year now. It was a green Labyrinth-like forest with huge, old trees and really eerie, especially with that "music box" music during thunderstorms. Just like in Thanalan it could happen that you ran into a group of 60+ mobs and just wished they didn't see, hear or smell you!
That's also what I miss about Thanalan. It had those random caves with either tiny bats in it or high leveled monsters. Then again, yes it might've been 'empty' for some people, but what do you expect of a desert? I am actually a bit sad that only Southern Thanalan has some dunes in it and then it's just such a small area.
Mor Dhona was simply dangerous and the pink/purple mist just added onto it and told you: Better stay in the camp. At least it was that way when I started playing in 2011.
Oh and don't get me started on the old Coerthas. Let's say I only wish that the snow will melt anytime soon and we get that great Alpine area back with its nice music and mostly clear view of Ishgard.

P.S.: And is it just me, or do the clouds in ARR not even move? 1.x's sky looked quite good imho. Even with that red pulsating pimble in it.


Nevertheless, more pics!

Old THM <3
