Except I do know how it is like, hell even my info here states Ul’dah was my starting city in 1.0 and Limsa in 2.0. My character is literally from Palamecia which was a parent server of Excalibur, most current Legacy servers arent actually the original servets by the way. I played 1.0 since before Yoshida took over in 1.23.

1.0 and XI are not comparable at all and the reason 1.0 failed was due to its janky combat, a very stiff version of what we have now, and lack of endgame. Before 1.23a/b your endgame was Ifrit and eventually Mog, they even reuse the AI for the Void Frost Dragons from the Treants that blocked off the Mog Arena with the walk conditions, and once 1.23 came in we finally got Jobs, Garuda and Aurum Vale/Cutter’s Cry as endgame. And yes Jobs were not in the original XIV, it was all base classes and required more leveling of each to even survive things like Ifrit’s hellfire.

So please enlighten me how you lnow more than a Palamecian player on how 1.0 was both pre and post Job eras.
