I miss FFXIV(Jan2012 and after)/FFXI(LV75cap) :(

The only thing that I really miss from 1.0 is the music, which I have to say was a lot better back then.. Other than that ARR is much much more polished than 1.0 ever was.

The people missing 1.0 are a very small niche crowd. You do exist but everything that has happened to XIV happened for a reason; the initial launch was bad. Plus Yoshi P had his hands on the game for all your gaming time aka updates.

I tried to watch the OPs video and it was boring. Horrible UI. Horrible sounds when opening elements in the UI. Long narrow corridors. Nothing really out in the world besides landscapes. Even slower combat. I could probably go on.

I also miss 1.0 and what could have been if Tanaka's team had 1 or 2 years more to finish and polish that game correctly.

I'm enjoying ARR a whole lot, but they are SO different as game concepts...

I wish they brought back the horizontal progression on gear.

Man, I miss the look of the old UI but not the menu thingy that pops up on the right. I want to be able to hide my hotbar when not in use like before and sure we got the whole hide the icons that not being used but its not the same. Not to mention I just preferred the style of it more so since it was simple and didn't seem like it cluttered the screen, I'm all for a clean UI and absolutely cannot stand a cluttered mess on my screen. I still don't get how the hell people play with UI's that have all kinds of crap all over and have like a small portion to see out of but hey different strokes for different folks so more power to them. But anyways, this is just my 2 gil when looking back to those good ol' days. Granted the game wasn't all sunshine and lollipops but nothing ever is and you just do what you feel is right.
