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

[KaiKatzchen]

They didn't care because anything you did or win wouldn't be saved hence pointless to play and waste time. Now if progress was saved then...

Correct.. a lot of people said they didn't want to log in because they would want to do things, but nothing they achieved would be saved. I know many of my friends and myself said the same thing. Logged in a bit but it was boring because I knew if I tried to actively go out and do things, it wouldn't matter and wouldn't reflect on my character. Because of SE doing that it was boring and pointless to be logged in.


Would I play, sure why not? I actually enjoyed 1.0 in the later months, and the community was very nice/helpful/supportive for the most part.

What I suggested a while back was they should do what ffxi did and make a past you could go into and try to fix the past or fight in the war. Same maps, same hard mobs, same old dungeons and primal fights etc... even the mobs that could 1 shot you because they were 70+ and you were 50... everything the same. It would be fun and allow 2.0 players to see what 1.0 was like, add a ton more story, zones and challenges and would be easy to make seeing they have all the old information~!

This would be actually kind of cool, they could even use the calamity and the damage done to the earth and ether to explain why the mobs where stronger back then, and how they got weakened, also, as an excuse to add stronger world mobs in the future as Eorzea heals itself.

It's a pity that may other of the great mechanics and aspects that were great from 1.0 won't come back, but that travel to the past would be really neat.

Everything I've seen of 1.0 looks super boring.

[Synestra]

There was propably lots of good things in 1.0 but the main thing i do not want to see from it is the combat, slow menu based combat was reason i never pickedup XI nor would i have ever tryed XIV if 1.0 stayed as it was. That kind of gameplay fits for singleplayer RPG's and not for MMO's imo.

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

A million likes from me. I mained monk in 1.0 and can't bring myself to play it in ARR.

Without hesitation

I'm impressed. FFXIV ARR has only been out for a year with no expansions, and already there's a desire for people to go back to the vanilla experience.

[Aylis]

Absolutely hands down gimmie! Preferably before the combat changes in 1.23. I miss playing my ghetto red mage lancer.

[Kiokin]

I'd play to try it out. Everything I hear and see about it points to awful, though.

I'd definitely give it a run. I'm interested in this private server mentioned earlier in the thread. I wonder if its something SE is ok with. But I'll admit I didn't get very far in 1.0 until yoshi-p and co started fixing the game up. I never quit I just kept taking short breaks, and playing other games. I do miss a lot of the animations. I think some of the animation in 2.0 could be a little bit slower. Things are so fast you just don't even care what it looks like. Except for maybe the LBs which surprisingly are slow so you can enjoy them. I think it would be cool to have slower animations in general, just scale the damage higher, and make sure there's no animation lock. If you have to move to get out of the way, then you still do damage it just simply interrupts the animation, kinda like interrupting a emotes. But again for OP I'd definitely would play it if SE brought it back online. It was kind of bad in the early days, but the last few patches it was a very enjoyable game. With very little "lag" issues. They even fixed the markets so you could search retainers instead of having to go ward to ward, retainer to retainer.

Also idk if people that claim they'd never go back, did you guys quit before the game ever got patched by Yoshi-p's team? If so you guys have no idea what you missed I'm afraid. After the first couple patches they made, you were salivating waiting to see what the next patch would bring. Because every patch they would make there were leaps and bounds in making the game much better then it was before. Hell bringing the choco-plague to a end finally after a year was a awesome start lol.
