Thread: Please remake 1.0 in New Game+

They would have to dedicate time and resources to recreating these cutscenes and events, time and resources they can be putting towards new content. They can't just plug the old stuff back in, it's a completely different engine.

In a game where players can basically make their own cutscenes, this is not something heavy handed in resources. Stop telling me it’s a different engine. I know that. It’s literally a 1-2 person project to sit down, retrieve the script and footage and work on reimagining a few quests and cutscenes. The assests for all of those old characters already exist in the current game, literally nothing needs to be made anew, it just has to be shaped and organized. But okay, you guys are like totally right that every endeavor needs to always go to new content and I should just shut up and leave the topic alone.

So speaking as a game designer this just told me you know nothing about game programming workflow. A 1-2 person project to recreate the entire 1.0 MSQ + cutscenes in the new engine. Holy shit.

Considering the amount of time and effort it would take to reproduce it in modern FF14's engine, i'd have to say no. I'd rather the resources be spent on new FF14 content.

Without 1.0, though it is many times alluded to, I feel there is a chapter in this game that I might never get to see again. The spark that began this whole endeavor. To learn the source of meteor storm hydaelyn shows us, has been roughly ten years in the making and I can not forget the moment I was called to hear, think, feel, and walk.

Many people can only experience these events vicariously on preserved YouTube videos. Please, please, please, reintegrate these scenes and quests so that we ALL can experience Final Fantasy 14 in its full glory and splendor.

This sounds fun!

Or atleast bring back 1.0 cutscenes as dreams/nightmares your character can have while sleeping in a bed.

Wait like 3 years for a 2.0 remake.

most of the zones are drastically changed, youre asking for a different game essentially.

As a player of 1.0 I am unsure. My happiest memories are of 1.0 with the friends I made, hanging around waiting for Dodore to pop. There was obviously bad because of lag, fatigue system and more.

You can not beat getting on the ferry though or the opening CS and the awesome direction it was going. My first ever day of closed Alpha my character bounced off every wall trying to climb the stairs in Limsa to go the adventurers guild because my PC could not handle it. But I got a new PC and then started my journey with FF14. For its bad the amazing atmosphere and Ishgard seemed like a far off world. But here we are today.

Maybe they can redo something it was amazing in parts. I do not think I could ever imagine feeling so immersed when they ended 1.0 it was amazing.
