Thread: What "I" Would Like to See Return from 1.0

I'd like to start building a list of things people enjoyed in 1.0 that they'd like to see make a return in A Realm Reborn.

I'll attempt to categorize and link all suggestions (Troll/joke posts not included <<< *With exceptions [See post #2 lol]).

Story line quests derived from the grand companies.

FFXIV's open dungeons with no zone-lines, that is all. Thank you.

The grass!...(lol couldn't help myself...)

But Hmm...I would like to see NM's return that are not FATE specific.

I'd like to say that there were few things I enjoyed as much as 1.0's first person camera.
You could zoom in/out, lock-on to targets and point the camera elsewhere without it snapping back to center the moment you let go of the analog stick/mouse, it just created a great cinematic experience not matched by the current 2.0 camera.

So, what I'd like to see return is what I talked about above, as well as the ability to "run" backwards while in first person mode (currently you take on a Standard method of control while "walking" in the opposite direction of where your camera is pointed).

The original soundtrack!

No, I'm not saying they should get rid of the new soundtrack, put your pitchforks down~

I'm just saying they should add in the old soundtrack, too. ALL of it! Variety is the spice of life, yes?

PLUS, wouldn't it be cool if in some future expansion, you could teleport/dimension-leap/time-travel to old 1.0 zones?

Like how you use the Cavernous Maws in FFXI to travel back to older versions of the same places! What was that called? Shadowreign or something?


(I guess with the ps3 limitations this probably won't happen, considering how huge the zones were in 1.0. But maybe they could make it work somehow with a bit more instancing and tweaking!)
