The event is now live. :O

That's fair. A friend of mine joined FF like three years ago and he did all of it via DF so I guess it's possible. I did Coils as WHM synched. Man, that was so much fun. lol

I did coils on patch as well (on SCH) and they are still my favourite raid tier, I also did second coil savage (well except for T7S, that fight is evil and I have never been able to clear it, nor do I think I ever will)

As far as "before ARR", the battle system was completely different with a stamina bar and more akin to a beefed up FFXI.

ARR had way more customisation options when it came to stats (though, those were mostly superfluous). MP, TP and aggro management were a thing till ShB. Role actions also weren't a thing in ARR. You had cross job skills that you got from leveling other jobs. The list goes on.

If you watch old YT videos from like a few expansions ago the game is barely recognisable anymore. Whether you like the changes or not (I don't), the gameplay is quite different. I wouldn't go so far as to say it's a completely different one (if we exclude 1.0), but saying nothing has changed? If nothing got significantly altered, then why are all jobs slowly eroded to fit into the new-ish status quo? Looking at you, PLD.

The game has a bad habit of "QoL" so incessantly they remove entire gameplay features and only now are people starting to see the writing on the wall after DPS are being pruned as well.

Payadopa, you are about to give me PTSD over here. Thank god we dont have the fatigue system anymore and how crafting and gathering was. Don't get me started on that UI and could not even jump. I ran back to WoW after that.

I can understand that people want more gameplay during events like this (The Rising 2018 was the best one). But in my honest opinion, I am totally fine with that because I love stories and stuff like this make me happy.

I started in Nov. 2021. Pretty much as soon as I hit lvl 50, an 80 NIN and RDM offered to carry me through coils unsynched, just for the story. I've since paid the favor forward many times over. I think everyone should see it.

Whatever your opinion on legacy can you imagine 2023 square enix actually making an event like the rising 2018

Yeah lets just recreate half the world from legacy including it’s world events, music and the fall of dalamud and just make it a seasonal event you can do

Actually that would be a good idea to give new players like yourself and others the opportunity to experience those last days of 1.0 (I was there but sadly, I dont have that account anymore).

yes did Aglaia in like forever. Not suprised, but kinda funny how bosses die before they get to actually do their mechanics properly

I’m a legacy player, the event wouldn’t be for me, I still appreciated the hell out of it

Funnily enough doing some account fusion shenanigans actually permanently fused these red goggles to my account, I can’t take them off

I wish I can fusion my account too if I can remember it :P.

But that would be nice if the game had something like that but nothing beats being there looking at that damn red moon with the servers about to shut down.

it must be very hard to do that when for the last few months we have had nothing but "noise", static, abuse and a small clique of people shouting down anyone who dared disagree with their harsh, cynical, jaded and utterly hostile attitude.

I was actually surprised some of the more...vitriolic..people were allowed to go on for this long. To my mind, what we see now with those "voices' gone is more conducive to actual communication on game issues. I have never been one for harsh moderation, but to my mind? in this case a broom was sorely needed.

Maybe in the future we will see more better avenues for them to talk to us now a more...pleasant....atmosphere prevails.

Ive done both parts of the Rising now, it was wonderful and uplifting. The mount is magnificent. Maybe, before we look at what they have to say and ask why they dont talk to us, ask yourself if recently they had any reason to do so

I get feedback, i get dissatisfaction in some areas of the game, sure. Nothing is perfect, it never will be.

FF 14 isnt perfect, but it is again heads and tails better than a lot I have seen over the years . I for one respect YoshiP and his team, they have worked tirelessly to give us a damned enjoyable gaming experience. There has been, to my knowledge, never been an event like this in other MMO's...so with all respect to my colleagues and fellow Warriors of Light...I submit that communication is a two way street.

Bro acting like anyone who wants the game to improve and speaks negatively about its direction are all part of a secret clique that needs to be eradicated.
This post of yours ain't the W you think it is. Makes you look unhinged.

Were we playing different versions of the game back then? All I recall them "recreating" was a horde of monsters in the middle of present-day Ul'dah.

Where was I supposed to go for this half a world of legacy content?
