While I understand why they changed the animations for 2.0 and beyond, I did really like the animation quality of 1.0. I also liked the super crisp textures and the music (Soken's doing a fantastic job in this version of the game as well). Another small thing that I liked (but again understand why it had to go) was the various ways gear would change depending on the other gear you were wearing. It would actually change like it would in real life if you were wearing say, one type of boots as opposed to another type, and it was pretty cool.
