As a XI player, I remember 2004 dune parties (Being nervous to join my 1st one), getting an escorts to dangerous places (Getting K.O anyway, so have to start the walk all over), The Crystal Warriors beating the breaks off of NPCs, foes and players.......

However, there was an era before 2004 (2002). XIV was kind of the way I guess, with 2010-ish. Perhaps some have memories from then (1.0).

I began XIV around 2013. So, my Nostalgia are the beta queue as my Female "Galka." XIV is somewhat new, but what is XIV Nostalgia to you?
(Did not try to make that rhyme on purpose)
