Sujet : 1.0 Reminiscing

Bahahahahah I remember that. However, I also do not miss when shout groups had this stupid mage requirement for Ifrit! Rawr! DRG only or go home! (Even when I mained WHM instead).

In a weird way, I remember when it was easier to teach people anything about the game. Like I was able to teach full groups United We Stand all the time. I tried to teach someone in DF half the time and we'd just end up dying anyway. It's also less fun for some reason a good majority.

Maybe in 1.0 people took this game less seriously, or maybe my memory is really horridly off. XD

People in 1.0 definitely did take the game less seriously, except for a select few who managed to get tons of the best gear available. Otherwise, the strange gear mechanics allowing any classes to equip almost anything actually made equipping a character harder in my eyes. I remember the best gear being super expensive and by the time I beat United We Stand, I was on a level 50 character with only a few AF pieces. The rest of my visible gear was on or near 50, but the rest was only around level 38.

I was probably just "the scrub" back then because I never managed to do a single hard mode primal in 1.23, but I hardly think I was alone in being that way.

Snip

Eh, I never got to beat the super hard content cause I was too busy being a doormat XD, like Aurum Vale or Cutter's Cry or Garuda Hard. Or Ifrit Extreme. Not that I feel that I missed out. I did try Aurum Vale but, died horribly at Miser's Mistress. Did try Cutter's Cry but my LS couldn't get past Myrmiderp Princess. Garuda I didn't even try until the the day before the final save.

And I completely forgot about the job swapping o.O

However, I miss when you COULD TRADE with your friends or repair gear within dungeons if you had the materials and crafting job to do so. I remember trying to trade food with a friend at the beginning of ARR, and was very very confused as to why it wouldn't let me trade D:

So I'm doing my usual sunday morning read the paper listen to music chillout and this song comes on.

Mogwai l Thank you space expert

Wanted to share one of my favourite memories from 1.0.

I remember in 1.0 I would just go to random places and do crafting, talk to people in LS or share music in vent.

So one night I fall asleep and I wake up at 2am with that song playing and this on my screen.

Instead of going straight to bed like I usually would I just sat there and smiled.. just enjoying one more amazing fleeting moment in a game that I really enjoyed.

I'm writing this down because I have'nt had any of these moments in ARR yet, I log on and it seems like all I am doing is completing a list of errands. It's a reminder to myself to stop being so busy and spend time trying to find these moments again.

That moment you unlocked your personal chocobo for the first time and your character comes belting out of the city entrance on it with a huge smile on his/her face.

Admit it, you were smiling just the same!
