Thread: Stuff I Miss From 1.0

I miss bigger Levequest gil rewards :/

I do miss having to go where teh content (dungeon, etc) was, if for no reason other than it meant you actually left the city and saw other parts of the world from time to time.

Paladin D: Like, everything about it. 2.0 paladin feels like a warrior. You just stab it and hope everything works out. No powerful moves or spells to intervine (holy succor was awesome, I could reach out and save someone).

Remember riding your choc back to Ul'dah from the east, the hiill top you'd go down to turn left to head towards blackbush/ul'dah? How the city just rose up out of the desert... at night... it really was the jewl in the sands. I always though it was beautiful. I love thalalan, more than any other zone I thought it was the prettiest. Even on my crappy laptop with low setings and 15fsp I thought this zone looked amazing with teh clear stary sky.

Scale: I will never forget those early days, exploring for the first time, and I found the downed airship and midsogormir. Ttoally blew my mind that the opening CS woudl be so incorporated. And the first time I saw Ishgard, ran up the hill to the eldge and the shining white castle just appeared, no warning, no indication it would be there.

I miss the bridges too. They were pretty great.

I love alot of teh zones in 2.0, they just.. there is no reason to ever go to them again. At least if we still had to go to wehre teh fight was (like we do for hydra and chimera) we would occasionally see other parts of the world, still feel like its a world you live in and travel through.

Doing the stories for all the jobs to get relic has been a nice diversion to get to see the world again, but I only have monk left before I'm 9/9 and that'll be over. Even then, the fact that quest help doesn't guide you unless you're in the right zone (like, if I'm in central thal it shoudl guide me to eastern if thats where teh quest is) often means I just teleport instead of run.

I miss hair highlights that actually blended with the base hair color.

Currently, depending on your race/hair choice, it either looks like someone dumped a paint can on your head or you fell face first into one so that only the tip of your hair became bleached.

Chimes/Tones when executing an action and the notification sound when something reactive came up and being able to truly re-size certain UI elements (not just 3 pre-determined settings).

I guess 1.0 Warrior too.

Dungeon Bosses and Primals - AOE/movement/position/animation locks all still feel janky which was what I had hoped would change 1.0 -> 2.0

Twilight over Thanalan.

For me? Coerthas, belts, 1.23 combat, the community. There really is so much, but there are four things I really want back. The WHM ability that turned an ability to an AOE. I loved the sound of all of the Regens and Stoneskins going off. The old Stoneskin, is another thing. Last two would be the old Steel Cyclone sound. Man, you just knew something was going to get wrecked. Last but definitely not least that SCHWANG sound that would go off when a PLD would use Rampart close to the entire party.

I completely forgot that there was no FATES in 1.0... absolutely loved that. I honestly can't stand them. Sure they are good for xp and seals, but... meh. Just give be a bunch of quest hubs so I can go and enjoy Costa del Sol without a hundred people afking waiting for a fate to pop... or having one turn on on top of me while I am enjoying the scenery.
