Pepperage farm moments

[Urthdigger]

Remember Battle Regimens?
Remember earning guild points you could spend at your guild for new abilities and traits?
Remember when farming leves was how you accessed endgame content?

[Valkyrie_Lenneth]

Remember when part of the reason that XIV was so taxing was because water was rendered under the ground, even if you couldnt see it?

Member chewbacca again?

I remember when I started playing back in the later patches of HW (maybe 3.3), Idylshire took FOREVER to load in. Like it took sometimes a minute to get in there.

[Payadopa]

I remember when we had job diversity.
When summons had their own HP bar.
Or Eos could actually heal. lol

Still does, like they hide 17 dozen water assets underground.

Remember when playing too much in FFXIV 1.0 meant fatigue system kicking into place where you'd start to accrue -10% to -100% experience points until the next day.

[Kikoten]

I remember trying to take good screenshots before /facecamera.
I remember progressing to my mid-level 40s having forgotten to learn WHM spells from the 30+ trainer.
I remember the first time I saw a Garlean Empire cutscene, the one where Nero kills the spy, thinking it actually took place on another planet, because it felt very sci-fi, and the clear night/stars made it seem otherworldly.
I remember when crafting was more challenging.

[TheMightyMollusk]

I remember bow mage.

I remember having to level a second, often seemingly random, class in order to get my job stone.

I remember getting left behind, totally lost, and insulted in my first Praetorium run because I dared to watch the cut scenes.

I remember having to keep stacks of five or six different types of glamour prism for different types of gear.

I remember having to either carry all of my glamour gear or visit a retainer bell every time I wanted to change anything or upgrade my gear.

[Ilenya]

I remember getting left behind, totally lost, and insulted in my first Praetorium run because I dared to watch the cut scenes.

If it makes you feel any better, that happened to me, and I got there 4 months after ARR went live.
