Tanaka was Right!

[Wanzzo]

I mean not being able to jump was a little annoying but how often do you jump in real life?

Clearly he was just trying to give the game realism!

It was impossible when you see that some areas are just copy/paste of the same terrain. I remember outside Ul'Dah. The same pattern repeated 3 or 4 times until you reach vesper bay '-'

The 1.0 gave the sensetion that it was an incomplete game but with no room for improvement since they chose a bad engine to build the game. I remember back then they saying that they needed to learn more about the very engine to try different things in order to improve the game. Someone with more experience in MMOs would easily see that engine wouldn't fit in any MMO since games of this kind need a constant refinement and expansion of contents and features changing the scripts and making them more complex. Picking a wrong and not know engine from the start was their big mistake and Tanaka was parcialy to blame...

Wrong decisions, bad knowledge of MMOs and engine and unprepared stuff.

I don't hate him, but it's a little impossible to give him credits. He's like that bad tanker in the roulette whose don't know his job well and never get all the enmity and never uses his AoEs. In the end, it's a little impossible to give him commendations :P

Obvious trolling aside here, there still are elements I personally miss from 1.0 (That some mobs like aldgoat followed you around at a leisurely stroll, or dodos would look at you and stare as example.) that would be great to have return. But I'm no fool either, 1.0 was very much unfinished and needed a complete revamp. In short the relaunch needed to happen to save this game. I don't know much about Tanaka personally but the original one was rushed, clunky, admittedly content-wise rather boring. I recall spending much of my time RPing back on Besaid at the time before server merges over doing content because there wasn't much. That said I do agree some elements like more in-depth crafting was a nice touch but still created a lot of excessive inventory bloat.


To make some pants first you create the cloth and thread, front half, then back. Then you create the belt, the buckle, buttons and extra metal bits, and then you could finally assemble it. And you had to have knowledge in multiple professions (Like a subclass in a way.) for some recipes so you needed to level leatherworking to handle say the belt and straps if any, blacksmith for the buckle and metal bits, and finally weaving for the rest.This might be fine for a single player game but not in a MMO.

Hello my dearest, esteemed FFXIV colleagues! I am writing this post to talk about the nature behind the game we all play, how things used to be better, and to find companionship among like-minded individuals! You see, back in the glory days of 1.0, we had /snip

So glorious they had to remade the game

Just think about the amazing game we could have had today if that visionary still had a job.

Sometimes I wish I'd played 1.0 just so I could have that neat tattoo

Watching that makes me feel like I made the right choice

Praising 1.0

I mean the cross class system looked interesting, but I'm pretty sure widely the game was just in a bad state, to tanaka's defense, I have to agree with some of the more sensible reasons given, like inexperience, bad hub(ive seen some vids of navigating menu screens just to get to inventory screens just to get to etc, you get the point) Materia melding sounded like hell on earth to me, with failure rates having such a high risk that I probably wouldnt bother with that extra +2 of any stat. The fatigue system seems horrible as well. But I mean what do you expect from a half finished game that was supposed to be a "Final fantasy that isnt like any final fantasies"? Sort of defeats the reasoning behind even making the game.

If he was so good, he would had made FFXIV into FFXI remastered lol instead of remaking an entirely new game.
