    Never delete these video's please, as someone that joined in Shadowbringers. These videos just feel so nice to watch, especially how high quality they are in. It's like a little FFXIV 1.0 history museum

      Hi I played back in 1.0 and still play today.
      I still come back to these videos to look at the past.
      Yeah the game took ages to do things done a everything needing a server check, that and need strong pc to run the Polly count.
      I will defantly say the FF14 we have today is amazing I do have problum with it still, but its way better than 1.0 110% fold
      For me what makes 1.0 special is the memory's I made as a early teen back in the day the game was bad but I did have a lot fun.
      For me what feels like current problum with FF14 endwalker is everything feels the same in the way of dungeons yeah they look realy pretty but why they just play out is same and 2 safe, and just basic QOL. but when comes to 1.0 or endwalker endwalker any day.
      And Starlight Celebration was fave event back in 1.0 and still is to this day.

      It was a mess, there was some charm of the hardcore-payoffs, but it was mostly issues. There was a delay to everything so you had to mentally be on your toes; even doors took a second to open and wouldn't auto open like we have now. Lots of limits of mobility, teleporting and experience. Some maps in zones were incredible hard to understand, like in the Shroud; classic Goobue mount owners could tell you more.
      Leves were practically the only way to level up efficiently and the mobs were terrifying at low levels (Dodos). The Marketplace was weird to say the least... your retainer would actually be placed in a zone where people could browse through their inventory that you put up for auction. It was really laggy and and everyone would pop in and out of existence due to the obvious limits. I remember one of the biggest criticism at the time was the geometry assets were reused a bit too much and it became jarring. I can't really remember much more about it.

      If you got past the flaws. And ho boy were there flaws lol. There was a very decent game burried underneath all the jank. I always say this to everyone that asks about 1.0. But the game changed so much over the 2 years it was in operation that ARR should have been labled ver 5.0 instead of 2.0

    • @Zegreiart
      @Zegreiart 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Since you asked.
      Yoshi-P lied about an absolute shit load of stuff by the end of 1.0 and well into 2.0 on how he wanted to fix the game. None of those things ever happened. Jobs were unique and had substance. This was a 1.0 thing that carried over into Heavensward. Whatever happened in Stormblood was him finally throwing away whatever he wanted to make and leaned into whatever was going to make the most money. Jobs are in such a shitty state anymore (or they are just that creatively bankrupt) that they're just porting over and butchering old 1.0 abilities to give to jobs now. Paladin has a LOT of their old 1.0 kit back, except it doesn't have any of the cool things attached to them anymore. Too many classes are like this anymore.
      I'm not here to yuck anyone's yum, but XIV is Final Fantasy in name only that's littered with "'Member berries" that it's almost a turn off, because the story doesn't really have substance, it's just playing off references of older games in hopes that it's juuuuuuust good enough to hook a casual player with zero background to the series. You take the writing team out of their element (since they can't do that with the closure of the 1.0 story line) and you got Dawntrail.
      XIV went from an open world adventure with people doing leves alongside you to level straight to a lobby simulator where you wait in queues. I'd love to go back, but that game isn't what I love anymore. Jobs need so much work, open world needs overhauled, and instanced content needs to seriously minimize its importance to the game.

    Back in the day these graphics were top of the top and not suitable for an MMO (if you want people to play it, I mean), but now? They could implement these graphics no problem. They look fantastic and the give a very especial vibe to the world. The way the characters move, for instance, is phenomenal.

    • @XDarkEcho
      @XDarkEcho 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I agree, 1.0 visuals have a more detail charm to them, that afterwards seems to have kind fallen off, but it's understandable as to why. I do wish they'd go back to such detail, given even 10+ years ago, this game still looks stunning, and the models & animations look extremely well done.

      Right? Something I've learned - with any group of people, there are always haters. There are realist people making honest critiques, and then there are "misery loves company" people that want to be miserable and want everyone else to be miserable with them, even if those people are otherwise enjoying things, and want to be vindicated as being right about being miserable. I honestly can't stand those kinds of people. If you have decided to be miserable, you don't have to drag everyone else into your pit with you. : )

    Think Sylv Darkbane ever developed humility when he got so badly proven wrong by ARR
    (I asume he is talking about the time period where SE was trying to find ways to improve the game not sure if this is before they brought yoshi in for that or if this was after they brought yoshi in but before the dalamud decision)

      Kinda ironic, since he'll be in the credits, since he's essentially a Legacy player at this point. 🤣🤣🤣

    @fraguar615 I think it's worth playing if you want to try something different. They've made a lot of changes with the updates and what not. I don't really play it anymore since I don't have a bad ass computer. ;_; But it is fun and takes some getting used to if you've played FFXI for a long time.
