Phone edit..

I absolutely agree as a 1.0 player who stuck with game since 1.0 beta.. everything that meant something has slowly be trashed, watered down, sold for a quick buck. The 1.0 player base is frankly what kept this whole thing alive even after the servers went down twice(once for natural disaster and once for the ending of 1.0) I think this move along with others is wrong but hey that’s my 2cents and Gath’s Is worth more than mine. (1.0 forum joke). I think replicas would be more appropriate than the actual item though it is lazy.

Honestly by supporting a bad game for that long you only validated the ffxiv 1.0 mess for much longer then it should have lasted.

It was Yoshi P who saved 14 and if he feels it worthy to include a 1.0 item in this event then you really have no reason to complain and you also have been paying less for your sub the past 5 years which is more thanks then 1.0 players are deserved IMO.

To our loyal fans,

I wanted to take the time to personally thank all of you once again for your support over the past two years. It has been a long, hard journey, and there is still much more road left to travel, but we could have never made it this far without each and every one of you providing the strength for us to carry on.

I'm adding the quote from the documentary for better readability:


Michael "Koji Fox" Christopher:

And to see that everyone felt the same way, it wasn't just the development team. It's that you have these hardcore group of very, very loyal fans that, they believed in the game.
We believed in the game. We stuck together.
We were able to build this new thing that's not just for us but it's opening up the doors for a whole new audience.

But remember we were there first. We're the ones that stood by it, we're the ones that did this.
They have the pride in that. Those players. Those "Warriors of Light" that were the before-meteor guys.
Yoshida-san in interviews will always talk about those people that support us and "we couldn't have done it".

I mean it sounds so cliché - "Oh we couldn't have done it without your support" - Literally, we could not have done it.

I mean, if those people hadn't remained, we would just have said let's forget it.
We're not going to do it. We wouldn't have put as much effort in it.
