Thread: Shouldn't the story of 1.0 be finally addressed by the developers?

At this point even a in-game special movie or a Animated movie (akin to FF15's Brotherhood) as a re-imagined story of 1.0.

1.0 is important in a lot of ways, and sets the scene for ARR.

I don't think its a good look that 1.0 is only preserved through youtube.

We got informed about most of the important story and plot-points from 1.0 through dialog and cutscenes. Other parts of the 1.0 story was simply dropped or retconned for 2.0
What parts of the 1.0 story do you lack information on?

the story from OG 1.0 launch to just before Yoshi-p was brought on board was almost essentially abandoned. Only a few points made it through into rest of what we know (mostly the parts about Minfilia and Thancred's part). the rest from really ramping up Garlemald and Louisoix was mostly covered in the disc included in ARR.

The thing about the story of 1.0 is that it's categorically not the current team's story, and things about it changed once it changed hands. Not main-story stuff, which to my knowledge mostly held and the events of such are made clear as relevant events, but a lot of the side stuff were tweaked to fit the new direction.

To an extent, 1.0 isn't their story to tell, nor is it necessarily a story that helps.

The only knowledge you need of 1.0 to understand the current story is broad strokes. The more you dive into the story of 1.0, the more you see the disparity between the current story and the story of 1.0. It had a very different vision of the world and the characters.

Most of the major lingering plot lines have been cleaned up by now, but they still pop up every now and then and I'm glad I watched all the scenes on youtube.
It would be nice to have a Wings of the Goddess type expansion one day to let us go through it, remade in the new aesthetic.
The Waning of the Sixth Sun was decent as a summary, but isn't exactly satisfying.

If anything a re-imagining of the Nael Van Darnus Battle at the peak of the calamity would be nice as a special raid if no special movie so Nael wouldn't be as random for new players (Nael is almost kind of random in the post 2.0 story if you didn't look at her backstory online somewhere), but at least they recreated the Uldah Defense which was nice a long while back.

But I'm not placing bets on a recreation as a gameplay thing, but having a special movie of the 1.0 events I hope they may consider.

Isn't Nael in the 1.x patches, rather than 1.0?
