Stuff I Miss From 1.0

[Enkidoh]

I miss the game being made for the PC.
I feel that the reason why ARR will never get that sense of feeling we got from 1.0 is simply for the fact that they now cater to the Playstation. They have to dumb down everything and can not fully give us the grand ol MMO of the future because they are keeping themselves crutched on a system that only allows what it can handle, whereas the computer is constantly growing and the developers of an MMO can continue to push to greater lengths with a system that can have limitless possibilities.

I'm sorry, but this is nothing but a myth that is being endlessly regurgitated - 1.0 was originally planned to be on, surprise surprise, the PS3 - it's technical problems had nothing to do with PS3 'limitations.' After all, 1.0's engine was Crystal Tools, the same engine that FFXIII and XIII-2 uses, which, again, was designed for the PS3.

In fact, I read a while ago that the PS3 client for 1.0 had already been completed, it was just never released due to the shift to development of ARR. So such claims that ARR had to be 'dumbed down' for 'PS3 limitations' is utter bullplop that should not be taken seriously.
