Thank you for sharing those screenshots, the game look amazing.
I remember years ago wanting to try it, even managed to convince a friend (who is not really into videogames) to play with me. But then we both discovered that our PCs couldn't run it. Dx

They need to do an event like that now it would be fun

Ooh, I found this picture again


(picture not assembled by me!)

Had forgotten how long they were already forshadowing this before it became really appearent!
I remember seeing how it had changed color in 1.19 and actually thinking they accidently colored it wrong after the Hunter's Moon event..xD

Thank you for all the tales and screenshots! I didn't play 1.0 back in the day (though I did follow its release closely, only to decide that the game didn't look like something I'd like), so 1.0 is quite unknown to me. I'm always excited when I see people sharing info and screenshots about everything that happened; even if I still think I wouldn't have liked 1.0 myself, I think the final events were priceless. I wonder if ARR will ever have such a surprising event. It'd be fun and memorable, indeed (though I guess it's not a good idea to create such an event in a game where new players are still joining, opposed to a game that was ending its lifespam for the time being).

In any case, I really enjoyed the screens and stories. Thank you to everyone who shared them ^^

I didn't make it to the Rising Event. I was drawn back into FFXI at the time. ;; But I did play 1.0 and loved it. More Donuts and Coerthas 1.0 music are by far the best. I wish they would put Coerthas 1.0 back into PoD too. ;;

Back then Coerthas was a lot greener. o/

Even though ARR has a lot of brilliant ideas.

Thank you all for sharing the screenshots and videos, makes me remembered my v1 days a bit.

Though I was mostly a crafter then, so didn't really get to do or worry about MSQ at the time. FFXIV v1 was fun and beautiful, even w/ it's flaws. Like some I came back thinking that in v2 is gonna be the same w/ upgrades. Didn't expect it to be a whole different game, while v2 is good like other games that are out there right now, I to will miss the v1 days.

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 =)
