I even think 1.0's engine "copy pasted" FFXI codes. So many similarities: Elezen movement = Elvaan's, Roegadyn movement = Galka's, and so on.

I have a feeling the 1.0 team tried to be very efficient by using what was already there. However, it was in no way refreshing or worth talking about which is a shame. Who knows what this game would look like if it was build with a new engine. It actually makes me sad thinking about it because I know it would be marvelous.

This engine desaster and the poor netcode choice don't help this game. Both will be there for a long time if not as long as this game is up unfortunately.
