Final Fantasy XIV 1.23b - Would you Play it if Available?

[Lissandra]

Eh, I've played through it but wouldn't wish it back.

@Malzian: Doesn't matter that it's a necro. Better than starting another thread with the exact same topic, and this could always be relevant as long as people pitch in replies.

I said it again and i will say again and again the 1.0 or 1.23b would look so exciting to play with the new gameplay we have now and with fixes that needs in it no lag anymore etc....me i think Square Enix can do it since they improved in making online game even if it was a pain. I believe they can fix it and why leave it in the past since it's a part of a story of ff14, ARR ff14 is nothing without that missing part of the story. So leave the haters of ff14 1.23b in the past shall we?

[MiniOmegaDragon]

yes i love to go back a bit and play again

[Fynlar]

I'd try it just to see how much it lives up to its notorious reputation.

I rather doubt I'd keep playing it, though.

If Square made it possible to play FF XIV on it's 1.23b version... would you play it? Would you pay for it, even if it was a one-time payment?

Would you play it?

Minus all the flaws that were there in 1.0? Sure. I'd love to experience the creative freedom the XIV staff were given at one point before 2.0. However, if you meant everything, flaws and all, absolutely not. 1.0 was a dysfunctional creation that needed to be lead into the back and shot. Thankfully, it was.

However, to make 1.0 with all the fixes the team has been able to create and implement into 2.0, they'd be making the game all over again. Technically, for a third time.

You all need to stop parrotting the same nonsense over and over. It's not cool anymore to say how bad 1.0 was.

We get it. You didn't like the game. Please find something constructive to say.

"Thank god they constructed a better game."

There you go.

I mean look at this:

There's nothing good to say about it.

I actually liked 1.xx better than what we have now.
It was a very different game in concept.
Much closer to what i like in an MMO.

A lot of incomplete, rough things, sure, but based on the foundation, i always enjoyed it more.

Actually, i only put up with this game because
1) It's Final Fantasy,
2) I've tried every other AAA MMO released in the last decade i can think of and the rest are also all crap

We were talking about this on our FC yesterday, we would all go back to 1.23b without hesitation, it was better than what we have now.

I would've loved a chance to go through the story!! I never got to play it and was superrrr confused with a lot of things when I first started the game. I actually didn't know A Realm Reborn was a completely new game, I was a newb when I got this game, and was confused of all the different videos I saw for this game. It took a while to realize that our story now is years later and all sorts of thigns happened before hand.

I would totally like a way to enjoy the story of 1.0. And experience the fights.
