Thread: Stuff I Miss From 1.0

The people saying give this game time and things can change obviously don't realize, 2.0 doesn't leave room for any big changes in battle system, because the devs made a game that revolved so tightly over a spammy system, that any change towards the 1.23 system would result in having to remake 2.0 and we'd end up with 3.0.

They stocked up on evasion materia for this thread. They totally blindsided us and destroyed this game.

I agree with this I don't like the new Uldah theme much and spend as little time there as I can for that reason.I'd also like the old Coerthas theme back as well it would fit the current Coerthas very well. Man hearing all this music just makes me realize how much I miss 1.0

i miss getting in a group and when you completed the group you didn't have to queue back into df again and sit and wait to form a party again. too bad it doesn't allow you the chance to keep your group when you finally get with a good group in df after you finally get a successful run after waiting for hours/days to get in one.

i never thought i'd say this, but i do miss the days of shouting in ul'dah for a pug. you could switch people in and out and run for hours on end. now the only way you get that is a static or speed run groups.

i must also say the original crafting, gathering, and thm. coerthas from 1.0 was probably the most loved area in any mmo i've played in the past graphically.

I miss the game being made for the PC.
I feel that the reason why ARR will never get that sense of feeling we got from 1.0 is simply for the fact that they now cater to the Playstation. They have to dumb down everything and can not fully give us the grand ol MMO of the future because they are keeping themselves crutched on a system that only allows what it can handle, whereas the computer is constantly growing and the developers of an MMO can continue to push to greater lengths with a system that can have limitless possibilities.

I'm sorry, but this is nothing but a myth that is being endlessly regurgitated - 1.0 was originally planned to be on, surprise surprise, the PS3 - it's technical problems had nothing to do with PS3 'limitations.' After all, 1.0's engine was Crystal Tools, the same engine that FFXIII and XIII-2 uses, which, again, was designed for the PS3.

In fact, I read a while ago that the PS3 client for 1.0 had already been completed, it was just never released due to the shift to development of ARR. So such claims that ARR had to be 'dumbed down' for 'PS3 limitations' is utter bullplop that should not be taken seriously.
