Proportionate Bodies

snippy snip.

I played during 1.0 and everything was setup differently; the characters, the world, the menus, the textures... They added patches for a while until Yoshi-P said his team could only do so much with the current engine and had to rebuild from scratch. THAT is why we had the Bahamut destroying everything ending because they were literally restarting from zero. Everything was also a lot less optimized and used a lot more polygons which is why it ran like crap on mid-range machines.

Due to all this, I very highly doubt they kept the backend of 1.0. It would simply not be compatible anymore to the 2.0 archetype/engine.

Here is an example of what I was talking about:
