Thread: I Miss 1.0

I don't miss the game that single handlely almost killed Final Fantasy completely. Hell The movie couldn't do THAT. - Yes the movie techinally did which is why we have Enix instead of Soft but you get the point.-

Honestly I liked the Black Shroud too but only as a concept. It would've been more well-received if it had more diversity than just a copy-pasted maze.
Coerthas though...it's still one of the best zones they've made. It felt like a realistic mountainous region. I don't think anything in the game right now compares to it.

To quote Yoshi-P when someone recently asked him if they were going to allow people to experience 1.0 gameplay through specific servers.

"Nightmare"

I do sorta wish there was a legacy server just because I'd like to play 1.0 for its story and see characters and plots first hand from pre 2.0. But I don't think that's really feasible for them to do especially with as poorly received as 1.0 was at the time.

The reason we're not likely to see an HD texture pack is because that's a loooooot of work that could be spent on doing something else.

Me too, but we will never go back.

Black Shroud wasn't all that copy-pasted once you get past the level 35 areas. Nine Ivies, Turning Leaf, and Sorrel were quite distinct, and the less distinct NW area was still better to me than the forest portions of North Shroud that replaced it, by far. I was used to an emerald labyrinth. I got dusty generic woods that I could just hike a half-mile to see whenever.

What we need is a FF XI Remake without PlayOnline and maybe some Benefit in FF XIV when you play it and vice versa. It could run on the same servers as FF XIV does and let people the choice to play either. If you, for example, reach a certain Achievement or Level, you get an Item in your Mail in FF XIV that gives you an xp Boost for the class you just maxed out in FF XI.

Why? Because FF XI was super fun. It was completely different, it was way harder, way more time consuming - But it had charme. the combat was less "WoW-ish" but more turn based - Like FF12 Offline. Come to think of it, just talking about it makes me wanna get my old FF XI Account out again and giving my Samurai another ride ... Wonder if I can actually figure that account out with the horrible PlayOnline.
