Final fantasy xiv 1.23b server relaunch?

[TheMightyMollusk]

I'd like to see it given a Crisis Core style treatment, as a single-player prequel, so the story can be experienced, but as an addition to the MMO? I don't think WoW Classic set a great precedent for this kind of thing, and that didn't almost bankrupt the company responsible for it.

The difference is that vanilla WoW, despite it's myriad issues, was actually a good game.
I don't think it makes much sense to invest all the resources to bring 1.0 back only for people to play it maybe a month and then go "Yep, I can see why this failed now." before never touching it again.

I'm going to quote Yoshi-P himself when asked about this by a fan a couple of years ago:

lol, I got my son to play through FFXIV from ARR to the end of Endwalker with me and my dad (3 Generations of Lalafells ) one day he asked me if there was any way to play 1.0. I told him that "there was a private server project at one point where you could at least walk around and see the world, but there weren't any NPC's or monsters or anything. I played 1.0 and it wasn't very good. Besides, there was no jump button." and at the 'no jump button' he said oh, well never mind then.

All of the enemies and NPCs having been handled server side, and none of those files exist anymore so there's no way for them to just bring back the original servers.


It'd be more likely for them to remake the MSQ of 1.x as a standalone game.
