The Rising Event! 1.0 Experience

[Canadane]

Good morning, Sweet King.
A bright and shiny da... oh



Ahldskyf seems to be doing okay in the new weather.
I don't know why I took a shot of him but here he be, and you can still find him in Limsa to this day! Tough old bugger,



I hop on the ferry over to Ul'Dah and get one of the best looking views yet,
A little daunting but it's just...bigger, right?




I meet up with some friends but everyone is hanging around outside Ul'dah.



I quickly find out why.



Hello Rep Yuyukosai!

[Canadane]

Vacating the dangers of Ul'dah's death hallows, we find out the camps are being pushed by not just the Garlean forces, but voidsent too! Atomos is ripping the camps' crystals of their aether!


With a name like Imperial Guy, he had to be slain. He was asking for it.





Soon more join in to help,



Almost got him down!



welp...



RIP

I still remember hecking the bed. Remember that near the end that when you did that, you actually found a random Relic weapon?

[Jynx]

Everyone has such nice 1.0 screenshots I didn't think to take many.


Besides the ones where I'm laughing at sick kids in the alchemist quest line.

[Canadane]

After many deaths, there's notice there'll be a march between the whole region and all adventurers are welcome to join.
Me and the gang get ready as we start in Gridania.



More arrive,





Stop. It's goobbue time.




There's some youtube videos of the march, many different people's points of view. But I won't bother to find the good ones, mine wasn't very good lol.

We do eventually make it to Mor Dhona,



My friends and I break off to our own little section for a photo op.



Dismounted, and enjoying the time together,




/airquotes



Some heathens didn't want to /pray for our safety!



We shot some fireworks,



Okay lots of fireworks,



Everyone in their glory, lest not we forget those that didn't join us post-calamity.

[Canadane]

A couple friends broke off to go do some final exploring.
You can see the weather was bad even in the non-snowy greens of Coerthas.



Camp Crooked Fork, lost to the calamity.


Here's one of the vigils that you can currently see in rubble in current day coerthas.


(what's that in the background!?)

Ishgard! Soon to be accessible, so we thought.



We ventured down to Shposhae and visited the one and only Coeurl of the game, which was aptly named.
/pet

Doesn't seem so tough,


Made my way back to my home away from home, Limsa.
Here I am using one of my last event items from an early Valentione's Day. It was like /blowkiss but would blow hearts at your target.


Some bust comparison, I think I lost.



Here we're gathering up for a final goodbye, Terra looks a bit worried about what's to come.

And right after that moment, server disconnection, offline. Everyone forcible removed offline.

Goodnight, 1.0, I do miss you.

Sounds terrible and a good way to make people uninstall.

[Istaru]

Sounds terrible and a good way to make people uninstall.

Do you *HAVE* to tear down anything and everything related to FFXI and FFXIV 1.0??? Like seriously!

I can't believe I am about to say this, but I will. I wish Rokien was still here.

[Cakekizyy]

Giving an opinion of whether or not I find something fun is not tearing down the game.

[Bloody]

Considering that all of this Deathga'ing and insane interactivity was based around the fact that they were killing the game to make it, going the distance and making a lore-based reason why is actually pretty damn amazing. I will miss being able to kill things as crafter/gatherer by stoning them to death with that critical hit rock throw.
