A modest 1.0 proposal...

[CaptainLagbeard]

The main thing I would want out of 1.x is the games' story... Not just as a collection of cutscenes but to actually play through it...

It wouldn't need to be an MMO, or use the gameplay of the original FFXIV... The story is already written and finished, so it would just be a matter of building a game around it.

An offline variant of 1.0 would be neat; could be a chance to revisit some of those older ideas and mechanics that never made it to 2.0 (Hamlet Defence being the first thing that pops into mind), bring back ideas that 2.0 used but scrapped over time (cross-classing already works very well in other offline FF games), as well as just clean up some of the lore that has since had retcons. The main thing to keep would be the "spirit" (for lack of a better word) of 1.0, especially in its gameplay and atmosphere. Looking at old footage of 1.0 always gave the feel of the world being more grounded or "realistic" (for another lack of a better word) compared to what we have now.

Also it'd be nice to see Coerthas before it was covered in snow.
