Those ants are still there. But I remember the Pieste that liked to hang right outside the Ul'dah gate. I wish it was still there, kinda.

Remember when Dodos were the biggest threat to Eorzea?

Now they're only the biggest threat to Jinrya Geki.

I see, never see them on the way anymore, so I just assumed they were gone. By the way, go east from Ul'Dah enough and you will find some nice lv.75+ ones.

[Colino]

Remember when mages could tank major events?

Remember when THM was the most broken class in the game?

Oh wait...

[Delmontyb]

Remember when side quests didn't exist?

[MeowMeow]

Remember the forums before the first person decided my little ponies was cool and made a signature and then everybody else thought it was cool because that person thought they were cool with their cool pony signature?

Peperidge farm remembers...

No for serious... Remember when my little pony was cool though? For real?
Yea, me neither!

[Radiator]

How has no one said this yet...

Remember when you couldn't sort your inventory???

[Eekiki]

Nonsense. Everyone is a closet brony, just waiting to discover their element of harmony.

How has no one said this yet...

Remember when you couldn't sort your inventory???

Ahaha! Yeah! And you had to transfer stuff to your retainers to combine stackable items.

To agree with other points, the interface was so horrible in the past compared to what it is now.. not sure how I even kept playing. It took forever to do one simple task. Now, In general it takes about half the time and frustration to synthesis, equip gear/actions....well everything. Between lag and GUI there has been a dramatic improvement.
