Stuff I Miss From 1.0

**Arriverderci** · 10-20-2013 01:36 PM

Old Coerthas theme reminds me of FFX for some reason....it sounds beautiful and I don't like most of 1.0's music. Wow...<3
The new Coerthas is annoying as Jesus hell. The dark gothic BS Organ shit drives me up all the wall.
This music should of stayed.
As the Candy Crush guy says: Divine.
xD

I honestly liked 1.23 far, far more than ARR.

- Large, seamless open world
- Crafting systems that were actually important to character progression and economy
- Weighty character animations
- Greatly preferred the combat
- Much larger focus on grouping and group content. All of the job quests required grouping
- Armory system was far more competently utilized, with reasons to sub certain skills over others and validity to classes at endgame over jobs (class exclusive equipment and decent class exclusive skill combinations [AoE Sanguine Rite on THM anyone?)
- Gear was much more unique with interesting traits. Moogle weapons had high ACC and HP/MP regen on hit. AF gear had skill traits like 'Increased Jump'. There were multiple ways to gear the same job (I had three completely different sets for PLD that were all useful in different situations)

And sadly you can't just say 'lol go play 1.0 then' because, well. Kind of stuck with this game. I would have left already but my IRL firends play it and I have two years worth of time and money investment into my 1.0 character. If they brought 1.0 back I would drop this game in an instant

I miss 1.0 Thanalan, after the sandstorm. Then the sky is just sooo blue, and you can see for miles, and it's breathtaking.

I miss the community 1.0 had, everyone knew each other, and it sure was a lot more friendlier. But people have mentioned some stuff I also preferred and miss.

I miss when it actually ment something to have a relic or a piece of darklight gear.

I miss failing 1000 times to finally get my 5x melded gear

I miss the controlled economy

I miss the closed community of friends and all the cool people who played

I miss the challenge 2.0 is cake in comparison

In my case... I don't know why but I do not feel attached to ARR as I used to do to V1.0.
I mean ARR is great, but I think it is stressful for me :P.

You know what i miss? There was one time in 1.0 where i first started playing, i came across the bend and saw the shining golden dome that uldah had, i just stopped.. literally stopped and stared at it a moment in awe and enjoyed every part of it, now its just a boring blue dome.

Its a shame that i didnt stick around for the better parts of the game when it was 1.2+ or whatever people are talking about, i left shortly before they started charging for it. Shame, seems i missed a lot.

i miss alot from 1.x, but there is one thing i miss especially, which made me love FFXI/FFXIV so much more than most MMOs.
the camera during fights.

the way the camera was set up to be behind your character rather than above it and zoomed out far made it feel like i'm actually fighting and not just playing chess

but now with all those flashy effects and aoe circles everywhere we end up with

this sure had a big impact on me, as i loved 1.0's combat, even with all its problems
