Stuff I Miss From 1.0

[Cod_Eye]

I miss the community 1.0 had, everyone knew each other, and it sure was a lot more friendlier. But people have mentioned some stuff I also preferred and miss.

I miss when it actually ment something to have a relic or a piece of darklight gear.

I miss failing 1000 times to finally get my 5x melded gear

I miss the controlled economy

I miss the closed community of friends and all the cool people who played

I miss the challenge 2.0 is cake in comparison

Hamlet
Going to primal fight locations
Going to dungeon locations
Notorious Monsters...not that FATE bs
World Bosses
Getting loot from monsters. Not just bosses
A reason to speedrun dungeons

In my case... I don't know why but I do not feel attached to ARR as I used to do to V1.0.
I mean ARR is great, but I think it is stressful for me :P.

You know what i miss? There was one time in 1.0 where i first started playing, i came across the bend and saw the shining golden dome that uldah had, i just stopped.. literally stopped and stared at it a moment in awe and enjoyed every part of it, now its just a boring blue dome.

Its a shame that i didnt stick around for the better parts of the game when it was 1.2+ or whatever people are talking about, i left shortly before they started charging for it. Shame, seems i missed a lot.

i miss alot from 1.x, but there is one thing i miss especially, which made me love FFXI/FFXIV so much more than most MMOs.
the camera during fights.

the way the camera was set up to be behind your character rather than above it and zoomed out far made it feel like i'm actually fighting and not just playing chess


but now with all those flashy effects and aoe circles everywhere we end up with


this sure had a big impact on me, as i loved 1.0's combat, even with all its problems

Depth of Field outside of cutscenes.
Being able to draw weapons while doing emotes.

[Orca]

Coerthas, Coerthas's music, (the old) Freeze, Burst, Initiate & Absorb rotations, Holy Succor, Sacred Prism Stoneskins & Cures, Divine Veils HoT, Simian Thrash, Aegis Boon, motion capture.

Just little stuff really, but i find myself missing them. ^^

- hamlet defense and provisioning
- chocobo caravan escorts
- being able to turn fish into crystals/shards
- being able to break down clusters into crystals or crystals into shards
- shards/crystals/clusters dropping from mobs
- being able to Bloodbath -> Steel Cyclone a big group of mobs and fully heal myself on WAR
- some of the old character animations
- doing emotes with weapons unsheathed
- open-world dungeons
- having to fight your way through the beastmen camps, and the NM's at the end
- DRG jump moves actually evading attacks
- not having to use 9 cokes, peacock ore, etc. to make high-end crafting items, and not having to spam dungeon runs to get them in the first place
- fighting/chasing after Atomos at the aetheryte nodes
- storm weather having actual bolts of lightning in the sky, and not looking like someone quickly flipped a light switch on and off
- old Coerthas (although i also like how it is now)

I might think of more later...
