Final Fantasy XIV 1.23b - Would you Play it if Available?

[niwaar]

The ONLY reason to play that game is if we could retroactively pay for that last month that we were stupid and canceled before we got our legacy status.

If it wasn't horrible, maybe it wouldn't be "parroted" over and over.

Ok, it was constructively bad....

Hard to say something constructive about something you found overall bad.

You're missing my point.

Currently, whenever a topic here brings up 1.0 it gets the 'LOLGTFO1.0SOBAD' Official Forums Circlejerk Treatment and the OP is buried, topic effectively closed. No points are weighed either way, and nothing is considered about whatever the OP brought up.

I'm not saying one thing or another about the argument. I'm just saying yours is old.

I played the bajeezus out of 1.0 but I would never touch a 1.x server again. There's stuff I have fond memories of and even some stuff I miss, but it was overwhelmingly negative. The great part about memory is that I can select the good parts to remember and mostly ignore the bad parts, but actually going back would involve all of the bad stuff flying up and smacking me in the face again and I'll pass on that.

Well...

Just now, I activated my mount BGM again, and... somehow it felt so different. Back in 1.0, riding your Gobbue with their own Chrono Trigger-esque theme feels unique and spacious, especially on such great view like canyon-like overview of Thanalan when you're gonna cross from central Thanalan to western area. Now? Somehow riding em on our currently very smallish zone feels somewhat weird, like it doesn't belong to the new world.

I'm just saying...

lol I have one thing to say about this thread and it has some lovely song lyrics~

"Let it go, let it go!
Can't hold it back any more.
Let it go, let it go!
Turn away and slam the door.
I don't care what they're going to say.
Let the storm rage on.
The cold never bothered me anyway."

;x I'll just leave this here....

You all need to stop parrotting the same nonsense over and over. It's not cool anymore to say how bad 1.0 was.

We get it. You didn't like the game. Please find something constructive to say.

Kinda weird that you'd pick on him. Honestly, his post was a good enough response. It might have been negative, but the question posed doesn't seem to require him to go further. Opinions were asked for, and he gave one. Now, if we have proof that he never played 1.0, that's a different issue.

The way they could let us all experience the old story(doubt we could have the battles though it could be) would be by using the echo along with something like sightseeing log.

We would find special points of intrest that would give us access to an area pre calamity and we could do that part of the story there. It would be nice side content to do while waiting for patches if nothing else. Wouldn't be straight up 1.23b but would just give access to that history.

That's like asking someone to let go of a beloved one that passed away...

It didn't die, it just got plastic surgery, took some college classes, and got a new diet regimen.

I would actually love to be able to - if only to play through the story. Which I could never finish, for various reasons. And whatever people say, I'll never deny that I miss the graphics. :|
