Please remake 1.0 in New Game+

Everyone is completely aware of that.

Initially I had been getting a sense that people were just reading the title and not listening to what I’m really saying, but I think more people get it now since even those who have their reservations about it also seem to be at least warm to the idea. Eh sometimes it can be frustrating to start a discussion because some people will quickly work to troll, undermine, or derail a thread. I’m glad this discussion is recovering from that.

It's not a stupid suggestion! Nor an undesirable one! I'd love to see it.

But we never will because it would be a herculean amount of work for very little return.

Have faith! We gotta show em there’s demand for it and one day they’ll come out say they had it planned all along.

It would be the same amount of work as an entire expansion patch, minimum. It won't happen. There is no amount of wanting it that will make it happen.

It would basically have to be a whole expansion to work.

Pick one. It’s either a patch or an expansion worth of work, not both. MSQ is done, fetch quests are redundant. There is no better time than now.

There is no good time and never will be. They are not going to recreate 1.0 Coerthas. They are not going to re-mocap the Y'shtola/pirate fight. Let it go.

MSQ is done for 6.0, but patches (6.01-6.55) still require work. There are several major in-game Systems that have been announced that won't even begin to see release until patch 6.1.

Work has already begun on the next expansion. Expansions don't get written in the 6 months before their release after all.

There is no 'play time' available to work on something else, especially something like a 'nostalgic trip down memory lane' for anything related to the major disaster that was 1.0. You want to know what it was like? Want to experience every cutscene?

Go to Youtube and enter "FFXIV 1.0 story" into the search bar. You'll find 7 hours worth of cutscenes, you'll find a 3 part documentary about how 1.0 came about as well as why it died, you'll find some enlightening videos from Speakers Network showing off a number of 1.0 features, you'll find a retrospective from Ethys Asher ... there are any number of videos out there that will give you an idea of how things were during those 2 years.

And SE doesn't have to waste any resources on recreating a game that worked on an entirely different graphics engine with an entirely different battle system.
