thumbs up if you miss 1.0 graphics and open world! ^_^

hello everyone allow me explain, I love 2.0 don't get me wrong. I just feel like I'm getting bored with it. the world seems so small. While character design is great, its just not as luscious as 1.0. 1.0 graphics made me feel like just wow, like I had to stayed logged into the game just to explore every aspect of the world from the huge cities like limsa lominsa to uldah and grindania to the dungeons to corethas and all over the world just seemed so vast and beautiful. Now I know the graphics were hard on computers that's one of the big reasons why they rebuilt the game, but man graphics in 1.0 were just astonishing. Well anyway 2.0 is still a great remake and I will continue playing without a doubt.

What's your opinions?

I want those nice weighted animations. D:

This thread again....this isn't going to end well.

another good example do you guys remember your first time traveling to gridania? omfg and going through the mazes of the shroud and when you finally got to gridania you were like FINALLY I MADE IT. the map in the shroud was so hard for me the first couple of times I got lost soooo many times lol could never solo it needed linkshell help. 1.0 just seemed like genius in some aspects!

While would be nice to have the graphics from 1.0. I rather have the animations and the bigger world

For the most part a forest "looks" the same if you just generally glance at it, and you can get lost in it. It's when you really start to look at the forest's individual characteristics that you will find individualality.

A game needs to find common ground from nature and a balance of of imitating it without heavy copy past or making each individual tree, shrub, etc to pull off a well executed area.

Both versions are too skewed. 1.0 we got lost in, was huge, and great... Until people noticed the copy past. 2.0 has a small world feeling, but every rock is different. Now because of this extreme, the game had to be instanced to hold the information.

I just wish SE could find the balance.

Kinda like this in 1.0? It may have contributed to a "world to get lost in".

Sometimes I wonder if 1.0 and 2.0 maps are actually the same size except that 2.0 maps weren't bounded unlike 1.0 maps.

We also have a jumping feature and faster sprinting so I wonder they contributed, to 2.0 small world

I miss 1.0 daily crafting leves. So much easier to get crafting done with the mats giving to u by npcs.

[Evangela]

I miss the old large maps in 1.0.

screw the PS3 limitation.

[Crimen]

Yep. I miss 'em. Too bad we're not getting them back, so we should just stop making the same nostalgia threads over and over. It was made pretty clear a long time ago that many people miss things about 1.0 and others don't. I know you aren't criticizing the revamp of the game, but it gets tiring that people still mention 1.0.
