What if Yoshi P launches a classic 1. 23b server, same battle system as it was back then, but with QoL systems in place (ex: auction house/market board, companions etc).

I feel like the 1.0 story... It deserves to be experienced. Like I know there are YouTube videos, but sometimes I really wish I can go through the story again. Die from that over powered monster outside gridania, fight monsters while hearing that killer battle theme! I dunno, wish there was a way to experience some of it to some extent.

Call me crazy but.... Part of me wants to experience this fight for example

Final Fantasy XI still exists if you want to experience that type of gameplay.

That was the number one reason 1.x failed. It was directly competing with XI, as opposed to now, where XIV and XI are wholly different.
