Thread: The Rising Event! 1.0 Experience

I started in 2.0 myself. It's always interesting learning about the 1.0 story and gameplay elements.
Thank you to everyone sharing their screenshots and experiences.

It's a shame we don't get to see similar events unfold in more recent times. I'd love to see the game's antagonists feel like they're a considerable threat and actually cause a fair bit of damage instead of being confined to instances, cutscenes or just blocked by the 'Cid', 'Hydaelyn' or 'Warrior of Light' plot devices.

Especially since this is a Final Fantasy game and whilst many people liked the likes of Cloud there's plenty of people who prefer the likes of Rufus and Sephiroth.

Bring 1.0 textures back.

Great thread! I didn't play 1.0 because I wasn't into mmos at the time (ARR is my first). Your dramatic and often humerous retelling of those events make me wish I could have been there fighting to the last. Thanks for sharing your memories =]

That reminds me of when star wars galaxies and wow came out. I couldn't play because my internet sucked so bad (believe me I tried it was unusable)

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.
