If SE put up one server of final fantasy 14 1.0 would you go back?

That Gaurda video looks slow as hell.
The Dragoon did like 1 attack and hid behind the rock...at one point in like a 15 second time span...as a matter fact, everyone is hiding behind rocks forever before Garuda even comes near the tank.
O.o How did you guys put up with such SLOOOOOOOOOOOOWW combat? I thought the 2.5 gcd was killer...xD Then again FF12, yes 12, was boring to me because of combat so I probably
wouldn't of liked 11 much.

I'll say the effects sound pretty cool, bard looks cool, and the animations look nice.

Then you have to conquer:

Developer: "We don't want to do this style of content, enjoy the limited and be there done that style of 'WoW standard' content."

Answer me that:

... if you think the game still struggles with basic concepts, then why are you still here ? Certainly the game must be doing something right if you're still playing it and not out there playing WoW, Korean MMOs or FFXI.

Answer me that:

One doesn't have to think all the games content is good to enjoy other parts.

Alot of people end up staying in MMOs that generate no interest to them by the fact they have a community of people they enjoy being around. Please don't dismiss people just because they don't agree with you. Tupsi has every right to dislike game systems and to ask for different content as much as you do to defend whatever it is we have right now.

To be on topic, I just would have liked to see Tanakas original vision for the game. In interviews with him prior it was obvious he didn't have any control from the get-go to design the game at all. He seemed to just be there for a scapegoat when things went bad. Not that I don't have faith in Yoshida but it's painfully obvious he has corperate execs breathing down his neck even harder to make this game follow the safest formula possible.

I would go back for the better movement motions (especially Lalafell!!!! I want my cute Lalafell demeanour back!! ),
the original armoury system (being able to use all skills and super-personalize your character),
the vastness of the maps (the world felt really big, not like now),
the various detection from monsters, the various leves mechanics we had (more than just kill this and that),
the mini-games for gathering (a million times better than the current point and click for simpletons)
and the feeling of danger when walking in the world (mobs level 99!).

However, I would really miss jumping (even though it is flawed in ARR -- only two: walking or running jumps, no standing forward jumps),
the better character creator,
the areas are more alive in ARR (world objects and towns are properly represented),
the interesting story,
my magitek armor from FFVI,
chat bubbles (only NPC though... ) and the better UI.

When one only says negative comments and feedback about the game, we can only wonder if that person actually enjoys any part of it.

And I'm not dismissing Tupsi because of a difference of opinions. I'm dismissing him/her based on the fact that he/she keeps basing this/her claims on "Yoshi P said this, Yoshi P said that, From Yoshi P's own words" without providing actual source to back said claims which makes it seems like he/she is making things up just in hope of rallying more people toward his/her point of view, facts be damned. Everytime someone disagrees with him/her and calls him/her out on it, he/she magically disappears only to come back later rehashing the same things later on in hope people forgot about it. He/she has been doing this for quite sometime, the pattern is easily recognizable. He/she has every right to have a different opinion than I do and I would respect said opinions if he/she would not make up unfounded claims to try to have people support it.

If you wanna play it sooo bad then go and play it. seventhumbral Project
When you start to think, man this private server sucks. that is about what it was like during the real thing.

[TheRogueX]

I never played 1.0 or any of its patches. But I'd like to, just to experience the story. As was said before, even if they could just build the 1.0 story in a way that could be played in 2.0 (apparently, according to the original FFXIV: ARR roadmap this was intended but never happened), it'd be awesome. I don't expect it will happen, though. So I turn to other options.

This I don't understand. How does a director not have the ability or the power to direct the game? If he had so much knowledge, why didn't he help them before everything went south? Many things simply don't add up.

Can we get Simian Thrash back? My god....
