1.0 Survivor Question

[MageBlack]

This is a question to the 1.0 survivors, the ones who poured over every tidbit of information as it was released/leaked. I too followed most of what was translated (thanks Reinheart!) and scoured the players polls , LftP and the Live LftP. I seem to recall one point where Yoshi-P had listed all the things he wanted to put in ARR (including Crystal Tower, Housing, FC's, PvP, etc.). So this is where my question comes in.

Does anyone remember what core systems Yoshi-P has left to implement into the game from his 1.0 aspirations? I think all that is left is the Golden Saucer (and associated mini-games including a card game) as well as FC Summoning.

If anyone has a link to that long forgotten LftP I would love to look over it and will add it to the OP. Thanks!

Here is the LftP 20 where he talks about the kind of game he wants to make. Read it over for perspective if you like!

AH HA! Here is one of the things I was looking for!

Hamlet Defence for Ishgard. (2.0 Documentation called it; "Defense of Ishgard, involving all Disciples"
Wander/Capturable Primals (Probably Scrapped)

And that's all I can think of that's left over, the rest really has been implemented;

Housing, Extra Retainers, End-Game Raids

Only thing I can think of was d.o.l and d.o.h being able to do hamelets or something similar like in 1.0

Well, I went back and found this, 20th LftP which is a neat read now that we are a year into his reboot.

[MageBlack]

Yes! Things to note that are not yet in the game are:

Summoning system that rewards summons to the free companies that defeat them.
Campaign of battles against the dragon horde in defense of Ishguard with participation possible as ANY of the FOUR disciplines. (Heavensward?)

More to follow!

Magitek Armor as a companion like our chocobos, it was mentioned a bunch of times but then they seemingly forgot about it or didn't work out or maybe they're still working on it for the expansion, who knows.

Choco escorts and hamlets were some events in 1.0 that have yet to be implimented. But fates are as close to a choco escort as it can get. Yoshi just needs to impliment a event for crafters and gatherers besides Beastmen dailies.

If someone could find and link the original 2.0 road map it would probably give you the answer. There was lots of things on there I didn't think they'd actually add, and it came to be. So I would start there. I'm pretty sure that airships were on there, and maybe even flying mounts.. I know the dual mount was on there. At the time it was meant only for the marriage system.

Ixali dungeon

←
New Artwork for a temple within the main Ixali stronghold planned for release with version 2.0.
Current plans are to make this an extremely challenging area, designed to test the mettle of even the realm’s most dauntless adventurers.

Maybe with 2.5?

i think they are still working on it, didnt they recently add in the ability to use those attack skills while riding it? they dont actualy do any damage, but to me it says they are working on it.

Thanks! That was a good idea. I updated the OP with some links, the second link was to that roadmap, but the roadmap itself has been deleted.
