Thread: The Mark of 1.0 [DEV Question]

Yep. It's my theory that Louisoix, Yda, Papalymo, Thancred, and Y'shtola (or however that's spelled). are all from the future, and they're using the power of the Echo to try and save the world from Bahamut.

What I'm kinda interested to know, though, is what the original story for 1.0 was gonna be? From what I've read in interviews, Dalamud was supposed to be something else, and it was Yoshi-P's idea to make it crash into the planet/blow up and unleash Bahamut.

Whatever we find out those markings mean, there's a good chance they were originally meant to mean something else.

I know it doesn't matter at this point, but it still makes me curious.

I hand't thought about it that way. But it makes some sence, would be really cool if it was like that

Since it was the first thing I thought of, it's probably something different than that.

I had actually heard the opposite. That Very early on, when they decided a remake was in order (i think 2 months after Yoshi-P took over) he asked if that red moon was anything important or can he destroy it and was told yes. Also at that point in 1.0's life little to no story or major plot elements had even been implemented aside form the war between Ishguard and the Garleans.

So far as I know he had eluded to the story of the crystals connection to the primals and the twelve, as well as the Garlean forces. He will be having some recent history tidbits for us 1.0 survivors to go "Hey! I was there!" but he will be going with a slightly revised version of the original story that was intended for the game. With a bit of his own twist and flare for good measure.

Dalamud wasn't red until patch 1.19, which was released on September 29, 2011. Naoki Yoshida (Yoshi-P) made his first Letter From the Producer on January 21, 2011.

Unless this was a plot device the team already planned on using later in the games life, it was pretty improvised. The moon turned red roughly 8 months after Yoshi-P took charge.

That sounds more accurate. I knew I read somewhere that it was Yoshi-P's evil plot to destroy the copy pasta terrain!

There were SO MANY other reasons to criticize 1.0. I don't understand why "copy-pasta" received and still receives so much attention.

You know what cracked me up recently? FFXIV was lambasted to no end because of, among other things, "copy-pasted terrain". But there have been tons of games--Assassin's Creed III being the first one that comes to mind---since then that are LOADED with copypasta, and no one had a thing to say about that.

Towards the end of his life, when asked for his thoughts as to why he got so much attention from law enforcement at his shows, Lenny Bruce once said, "Well, at this point it's chic to arrest me." I think nowadays it's chic to hate on Final Fantasy.

I'm going to guess you dont know what terrain means.. because I know there are prefrences but.. I dont believe anyone can think FFXIV 1.0's terrain is anything different then copy pasta lol

Terrain = the land

Believe someone took a map example of it and showed a few hundred spots on each map that were exactly the same.
