Thread: The Rising Event! 1.0 Experience

The town invasion looks fun! lol!

I tend to only hear good things from those that stayed throughout the end. On one hand I really wish that I had managed to stick around until the server closed, but on the flip side, I may be horribly sad over what the game evolved into with ARR..



But yeah, babies don't typically let you have much spare time, so the game had to go for a couple of years.

Wow, they should just really try and make a de-make in SNES graphics of 1.0's story and events.

This thread made me hop into the archive for a while today
For those who are interested in the "live" feelings people had at the time, here are some links:

• At first, it all seemed ridiculous...
• Most people were totally into it, had fun, pieced every part together, were amazed, sad, desperate and just generally full of emotions
• By far not everyone liked it though
• I forgot how much of a mess the final hours were..
• ...but when the final cutscene played, all was forgiven and many tears were shed.
• And after all was over, the players looked back on what they had experienced up until that point and thanked the devs for the amazing end

Dang, makes me sad I wasn't able to play 1.0. I knew that the Calamity was the lore for why 1.0 went away and the origin of 2.0, but I didn't realize so much of it was actually part of the game in 1.0.

I'm supremely jealous of players that have the legacy tattoo, and I hope SE never makes it available to players like me that didn't play 1.0. You guys deserve to have that to yourselves.

The tattoo is awesome, since PUG was my first job, I try to keep my MNK back's open =)

OH GOD...that would terrify me if I saw that spawned in Ul'dah back in 1.0. I just remember Magitek, Nael Van Darnus, and Imperial soldiers running amuck there, along with the occasional chimera.
