Question from the original FF14

[Enkidoh]

Well, the 'battling Bahamut and fighting to protect Louisoix' was really only a video that was the culmination of the events leading to the original game's shutdown - on the last day of original service of version 1.0, anyone who had ever had a version 1.0 account had their character restored and were able to login to the game to participate regardless of their then current subscription status - in the final hour of service players were constantly directed to the (now non-existent) Camp Brittlebark in Mor Dhona for 'the hour of reckoning' via system messages in the chat log - but it basically just involved fighting endless groups of high level Garlean soldiers and magitek Vanguards and Juggernauts. Then the game ended abruptly with the servers shutting down, and the launcher updating with a link to the 'End of an Era' trailer - representing the Calamity.

It was a fun way to send the original game off, but unfortunately, given the instability of the version 1.0 servers and the buggy nature of the game, most people like me ended up with the 1.0 equivalent of a 'Code 900000' error and couldn't log back in (this happened to me with about half an hour to go). It was still fun though and something I'll never forget.

It should be noted that the actual Carteneau Flats where the 'final battle' takes place in that video was actually completely inaccessible to players, hence why players instead fought battles around Camp Brittlebark.

Also Louisoix before then was a specific npc who normally resided in Apkulla Falls in Gridania and was the npc who gave players the quests to battle the Primals (he stood where Y'hmitra now stands - in fact, there's an npc in that area now in ARR who cryptically refers to Louisoix's former location there ).
