Pepperage farm moments

[ReynTime]

This one is cheap but I didn't see anyone mention big red (not that I read super hard though lol):

I remember watching Dalamud grow large in the sky, the one time assaults by the Garleans, the final days when all the towns were under siege, the only thing you can hear is answers, and Atomos vomiting undead and voidkin at camps with anima rewards like super pez time. And sometimes people would just biff it at the camp haha (if you didn't run away right after warping in).

NMs that dropped unique items.

The gil glitch, of course.

Tanaka classes where after leveling everything you could kit yourself out via the open cross class system to be a mage tank god lol.

Thaumaturge having a kit that looks nothing like it's current one, phantom darts anyone? xD.

Getting rofl stomped by those trees in the Gridania region.

Changing your job mid dungeon for whatever the content was weak against. Oh that there was actual elemental weaknesses.

The gorgeous animations and crisp models. Also the 45 second menu delays and solid 5 moons long animation locks.

I remember when the miners guild was great. :3. . .

Companions that were actually pretty cool. I had the thesaurus lalafell and balmung's eRP spirit avatar miqote.

People talking about flash on Paladin, ooof lol.. I remember. . . 123 123 123 123 123, what's that? AoE time? okay.. 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4. Paladin has come a long way, hope they keep doing neat things with it as I love what they've done so far.

When goobbue would eat other monsters, or snurbles might heal or raise you.

Aside from the PLD and gil glitch those are all things I really miss.

Yeah I saw people taking dunk shots so I tried to play both sweet and salty. :P

About the only thing from 1.0 that I miss were the environmental interactions.

The class stuff and being able to swap jobs in dungeons was dumb.

I'm actually of the mind that they should just dump the cross class system entirely at this point. It's a vestigial system that only damages identity at this point (although it is very budget friendly solution). Rather than giving each tank a theme'd to their job defense skill we get one same looking skill. Even if the % and seconds and stuff was the same, it would be better that it was to the job animation based at least, but potentially there could be minor differences to add a tiny bit more flavor without massive damage to balance. Like obviously each tank needs a provoke, but they don't have to literally look the same. Under the the description of the skill simply use the word 'provokes' the enemy to give players a sense of coherence cross the jobs. It's not like healers get confused how to heal when they switch to different named 'cure potency X' jobs (at least most of them . . lol).

Love cross class in tactics, and it allowed wild things in FFXI, but it just never seemed to click for FFXIV and only caused problems. Although I do want to say it was cool as Paladin to have raise and stoneskin (not that stoneskin was particularly 'cool' spell when you get down to using it over and over or pre-pulls, these days it would probably be an oGCD on cooldown), but the idea of having white magic was nice. Most of those feelings were swept away in the later FFXIV Paladin though (love my Confiteor), with our bomb tier clemency and holy magics. If they're feeling particularly dangerous maybe they'll grant Paladin a raise that shares cooldown with Hallowed Ground or something wacky (maybe also cuts cooldown timer slightly).

The job changing in the dungeon did cause "if you don't have these jobs then you're not invited". I think if you could change when unsync that could be cool (now) but during regular roulette it'd just be an issue certainly.

I definitely miss the animations, monster interactions, unique nm items, companions, and the like.

Also the Ascians in 1.0 were pretty cool looking, the element they didn't have shadows was also kind of fun cause then you'd be staring at everyone's feet lol.

Heh, now I want an Atomos PEZ dispenser

I remember the memes when Dalamud started to fall... "That's no moon" or the majoras mask moon being pasted over it

Remember when you had to level your sword and shield SEPRATELY? Fun being a 50 Gladiator with a level 23 shield.

Pep remembers. Pep tries hard to forget. But Pep remembers.
