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

What parts of the 1.0 story do you lack information on?

No particular lack, but its strange to have a book without the first chapter.

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.

Actually, SE already did this back when ARR was launched - the Collector's Edition of ARR included a bonus DVD called 'The Waning of the Sixth Sun' that featured a compendium of some, but not, all, the most important story cutscenes from 1.0, and then almost all were involving the Seventh Umbral Era events that ended the game. The original starting city cutscenes and the Path of the Twelve story were for the most part conspicuously absent (I presume this was because ideas and concepts from the starting city story/Path of the Twelve story were being utilized for ARR's then new scenario so SE did not want to spoil things for new players.

And as others have already said, much of 1.0's plot and lore that has not already been shown in ARR or mentioned in say the Encylopedia Eorzea has been simply retconned or abandoned.

Either way, that has already been done, but it remains to be seen if SE ever rereleases it (I presume it would be floating around on the internet if you look hard enough and are curious about it).
