So long and good bye 1.0 you'll be missed?

Read this thread for a lot of 1.0 goodies

Hehe, ah yes, that thread...

Oh, here's another: The way the client used to go *PLINK* on the Square-Enix logo. It was a bit grating, but I miss that a bit and all. The more recent Final Fantasy releases still do that so I get nostalgic for v1.x whenever I start them up.

And seeing as you made the mistake of making me look at that old thread.. here's one I mentioned there, too: The bridges.

Yes they were as long as they were to help the PS3 load the huge open areas, but nonetheless for the most part I really loved them. I really miss being able to walk along that huge one leading into Limsa Lominsa from the Tempest Gate, or the covered walk out of Gridania .. and I spent all of the v1.0 waiting to get to walk along that narrow road beyond the Gates of Judgement and now there is no way the developers would let us go out on it. 'Too stressful' for us, I imagine they'd say. I really don't get it, not when there are already so many ways to skip crossing those bridges anyway and they could just add another if they needed.. it's a real loss from the experience. Being able to go out on that bridge and look out over Coerthas' Sea of Clouds would be wonderful..

Yeah I agree though I wonder how flying will look going around ishgard. I miss the endless walks and it felt more open-world.
