I've seen the videos on YouTube - it must really have really been something to have actually been there as it occurred.
But I do question whether that atmosphere could ever be recaptured in quite the same way as it was a pretty unique set of circumstances.
While the game was truly busted and in a horrible state, Yoshida and team did a great job of actuallty making us care about the world. We knew the reboot was coming and those of us who stuck with it were the ones who were already invested and the story they crafted for us up to the end was fantastic. That whole final day was something that can never be recaptured and that final night, the moment Dalamud fell and we saw that cinematic of Bahamut breaking free for the first time was the most incredible moment of any game I have ever experienced. It solidified my love for the world, the game, the lore, everything. I made me more invested than I have been in any other game. Which is why i think I am taking DT a little more personally than I should. The way they are showing just pure indifference for the world they created, the way they poo'd on the lore, not only in DT but also in EW when they had us not only meet but kill the Twelve and rushed the end of the Hyd/Zod story, the way they just completely sanitized the entirety of the game makes me feel, in a way, personally insulted.
