Can we have Tanaka back now?

I never had the opportunity to play XIV 1.XX

Everything after 1.00 was Yoshi.

I've never played 1.0 nor FF11.
But seeing that much negative response and reading the flaws that 1.0 players posted about.
It feels scary to me to have to go through things like that.
I'm very very happy with FFXIV:ARR now.
Please don't replace YoshiP with the previous director.

Oh i miss examining the retainers for 3 hrs just looking for 1 item..,

I miss that you were able to cut off horns, shells etc with some skills from enemies

it was fun to farm antelope stag horns in coerthas with a monk, beside that they shared their spawn with some high lvl raptors, you always had to take care and died sometimes
but in the end you made the big money and it was challenging, every broken horn gave you that "fuck yeah" feeling

goldsmiths paid shitloads of money for them for crafting their brands

I guess things like these are the ones which I miss from 1.0

I never know if these threads are trolls or not.

Though I do feel compelled to point out that virtually everything people liked about 1.0 was implemented during Yoshida's tenure and was built with 2.0 in mind: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...26#post2349926

Tanaka, during his tenure, oversaw the release of a game that barely functioned and with no obvious content roadmap. Wanting that back is fairly ridiculous.

(I'll admit the boarding action idea looks sorta neat, though, although the animation shown is actually super rough :V)

I think the reason this went away was because they wanted this sort of thing to be more obviously targetable; for example, Titan's Heart or the Golem Heart in leveling Qarn. The damageable enemies in 1.0 were neat, but not really all that intuitive when approaching a monster for the first time, and one of the design precepts of Yoshida-era XIV is (rightly) having game elements like this that are clear, sensible and marked to the player so that they know they can do something.

1.0 was a garbage rendition of the game. This is much more stable re-release

I miss quite a few songs of the 1.0 Nobuo Uematsu soundtrack, and want them back, even if only at the inn.
