I quite like the Shared Fate idea, hope to see it expand, and perhaps go to ARR/HW/SB

On classic interview with Yoshida's "nightmare" comment:

Classic refers to reviving the old game (1.0 as it were- which is dead, we don't have access to it), since it was brought up in direct context about WoW classic and making a 1.0 classic- which means a revival of WoW vanilla, before all the expansions. WoW before all the modernization, reverting years worth of patches and content- a WoW that was more Ever Quest like. To note this is even more unique/different for FFXIV since 1.0 was made on a different engine, with different zone maps, main story quest line, systems, and more- if 1.0 is Starcraft 1 then 2.0 (ARR) is Starcraft 2 and not a Starcraft 1 expansion. A bit confusing since a lot of people probably consider ARR as 1.0 as it appears to be the first game in the series to a lot of new players, but it's actually 2.0 lol.

So if that's what you're referring to then I don't think it's fair to put that comment onto this (since it's not really in the vein of the interviewer's question).

Of course it is possible they didn't update the (2.0) FATE system as a whole unit but rather built new systems as they went forward into (2.0+, meaning a lot of conversion work), but it's also possible they upgraded the whole structure over time and so ARR's systems are ready to roll and such is more like going through the list and checking rewards. Which is akin to data entry, probably boring, probably also a bit slow, but more likely do-able. Really depends on what they did and how, but that was my counter point then - we don't know what they'd have to do and how willing someone might be to do it (I mean it might even be "easy" and they still don't want to do it lol, we don't know XD).

Although probably important to say not all of my OP was to do with adding Shared FATE like system to old content, it was also on expanding the concept for current content.

So if we're referring to WoW classic -> FFXIV 1.0 classic interview question then the nightmare probably doesn't have much to do with updating ARR, since 1.0 isn't ARR. Not that I'm saying that means it's do able (or must be easy/hard) lol, just that we're back to square "unknown".
