    Suggestion : relive some adventures

    Hello,

    Would it be possible to have a kind of quest where you'll relive the 1.0 main scenario (at least) or even 1.0 quests (only those useful for the world background) without earning anything, just for the pleasure to do it ? I know it's possible to see it on Youtube but I generally prefer playing it.

    Of course, to keep the idea we don't know if our character was a Hero of Light before the 2.0 or not, we could have a kind of NPC (like the Minstrel) giving you those thoughts, while saying he doesn't know if we were one of those Heroes of Light, in the past.

    Or course, doing this could give old players some nostalgia (but if some don't care, they'll just skip it, except if you find a good idea with mine), give new players (from 2.0 at least) a portion of potentially unknow story and, for devs, if this content was kept and not thrown away, additional content with minimum work for this part.

    Thank you.

    Unfortunately, many of the old 1.0 areas, simply do not exist anymore (because that was the whole point of ARR - to give a story reason for why the maps were being changed). And alas, as much as I miss the old 1.0 storyline (especially the Path of the Twelve one), it was cannibalized for ideas and concepts used in ARR which more or less went over the same ground anyway (only really differeing on the details), and what wasn't included has mostly been retconned out of the story (such as the concept of woodsin and the whole wildling thing in Gridania).

    Also, your character was only an adventurer before the Calamity if they were specifically created back in 1.0 and they experienced the storyline themself (any main scenario quest and sidequests you completed in 1.0 are still listed in the Journal in ARR, although the details are not - they're simply referenced as "Memories of a time now past"). If you started new in ARR then your character is specifically a new adventurer just arrived from another nation who was inspired to come to Eorzea and to take up adventuring after hearing about the original Warriors of Light (of course you are free to ignore this and come up with your own reason why they are there). But canon-wise it is only those who played 1.0 , who were actually adventurers before the Calamity (with those who completed the Lunar Transmitter fight in 1.0 and thus qualified for the 'Legacy story' in ARR specifically are the 'original' Warriors of Light', with their identities forgotten due to aetheric amnesia), such as my character Enki.

    Given that the achievement for completing 1.0's storyline was literally called 'Once in a Lifetime!', it's clear SE have no intention of bringing 1.0's quests back. So cutscenes on Youtube and the like will be the only real way of relieving them I'm sorry to say.
