I miss HW

[Nebelheim]

I acknowledge HW’s faults and understand that it was highly flawed and there are things I 100% don’t miss (no cross world PF, CD’s not resetting, accuracy etc)

But the “feeling” I’ll call it of the game, the still mostly unknown world, the different classes feeling unique, the fact the game made you actually work for what you achieved, it all just feels more like what I want out of an MMO compared to modern 14

I agree im not saying it was a perfect period but i still genuinely enjoyed it. The world and the game still felt like an mmo with a sense of exploration and learning the jobs i played. I think there are improvements in modern ff14 that has benefitted the game but i also think if they kept heavasward style of gameplay with todays modern improvements to me i think it would still be a good game. I loved the gameplay and medieval and high fantasy stuff of the expansion and exploring the zones for the first time since it was the first expansion with flying.
