Oh hey another "I played 1.0 and *such and such* is better than what we have now" Thread.

Looking forward to his new project.

Oh hey, another post pointing that out.
And this one pointing that one out. Circle of life.

The only good thing about 1.0 is when yoshi took over. I don't care for much of the game as it is now but come on bro, clearly trolling here.

as 1.0 and 2.0 players we have reference to compare and critique. he lacks this and the only thing he can do is hate on your thread just because.

this is the nature of trolls.

I would take Tanaka back over Yoshi anyday, at least Tanaka didnt give hand outs, or hold your hands to level cap. The world was full of danger as well.

Only if you left the path of main content (leve). Danger was optional (there were no reason to go to the places with the lv70+ enemies).
Even during 1.0 you could run with a physical lv1 character from Limsa Lominsa to the Gate of Ishgard without to die once.
And to get to Mor Dhona for the fist time, you just asked someone to teleport you, so you can touch the aetheryte to teleport yourself the next time (you don't needed to be at the place once so other players could teleport you).

As far as the OP goes, I feel all you're doing is bashing and personally attacking Yoshi-P and his work, it's obviously so bad that we've "learned our lesson" and you want to bring someone else in? I feel this isn't the case, but that's difference of opinions. I disagree with your opinion and feel it's very much lacking in tact...
Whether he's done everything perfect or not isn't the point, his work is rather good and the fact he revived a dead game is something to give praise to, but Yoshi-P has done things that even I consider not so great, but again no one person is perfect.

As far as Tanaka goes, he brought some interesting and well thought out ideas in FFXI, I never had the opportunity to play XIV 1.XX, but as a director of a game I did experience his influence from FFXI for many years. As someone posted before in this thread, the idea of some of his flaws to come back to the FF:MMO franchise is something I'd rather not endure again, especially the many years of job imbalance issues and issues that constantly felt as if they fell on deaf ears.

Few logged in because progress wouldn't be saved I've read. But I don't think I can side with that reason. If you love something as much as many here claim then they should have logged in regardless to show just how special it is/was.

So now threads like this surface, threads that even pose the question of would you go back to 1.xx ? To which a lot of people said yes. So did those who care fail themselves? I kinda feel like they did.

I did play 1.0 and I never experienced the no save deal. This is the first time I seen it mentioned. 1.0 was on the right track it just needed a lot of things fixed before it was released. What kept people playing in my opinion was the great potential the game had.

The "last save" date was the 1st november 2012. Everything that the character earned after it didn't get transfered to ARR.
As example, after the 1st november it was possible to find relict weapons by checking the bed. At the start of ARR, those bed relicts were gone.

Ah I see. The "last save" had it's purpose for the transition. You made it seem as if it was something other than the transfer of data. Thanks for response. People did log in after that date.
