Thread: Things from 1.0 era that could return

From what I can read of 1.0, the story elements actually had an impact on the world which is something I would like to see again. The world right now is just so static, even having finished Endwalker I feel like my character and the Scions have had no impact on the world. It's probably a hard sell to change things since you have to account for new players and how they will interact with the environment and progress through the story but it has been done in MMOs before.

Shit sucked ass. God I hated Thanalan. lol


Edit: Jfc this is a necro..

Thanalan? La Noscea was even worse IIRC. You see the destination right in front of you but for some unholy reason there were invisible walls everywhere just because of some miserable small elevations scattered around.

And to say nothing of the goddessawful 1.0 Black Shroud.... Not for no reason was the original 1.0 Black Shroud BGM called Emerald Labyrinth, it really was a horrible arboreal maze with a few small clearings scattered around. Urrghhh...

Fear of the elementals? 1.0 Gridanian players feared just having to navigate that whole damn forest.....

I want the return of motion capture during cutscenes.

Examples from the original Gridania questline.

Mind boggling how the animation was way better back then compared to what we have now.

And a lot of musics, as already some people said here. :3

I've said it before and I'll say it again, that comparison image is intentionally misleading. The poses are different. Butt size did not change that much.
