Reminder to my lore nerds, this entire series is designed not to spoil things for people playing through the game. If there’s a fact that we learn later - I will include it when we learn it.
Ok this answers my only question i had through the video haha
Hey thanks for playing all that 1.0 footage, I genuinely didn't realize that the party of heroes that is introduced after Heavensward, were the poster kids from the original iteration of the game. That makes the later events of some of the other expansions have a lot more impact.
Thank you for another great animation video!
I do hope next video you "finish" Naels story and the revelations about why did they all this we get from Coils as well as the Encyclopedia Eorzea
@@happyninja42 Honestly, it's easy to miss, you don't see that group together until the HW patch content, but once you know, it's hard to miss: they're wearing the artifact gear from ARR for their classes... and the 6th member of the party you don't see between the 1.0 trailer and Shadowbringers.
Posting a video while we suffer from Maintenance... clever Jesse, very clever.
Hahaha, he was very upfront about that on either Geekenders or Twitter.
My theory is he also wanted to be done with the video before the xpac so he had more time to play haha
Why must we suffer...
But we don’t, we can do something else while we wait
Now only if he could pronounce the names properly
Jesse this has got to be the cleanest footage of 1.0 we've ever seen.
You can still go play 1.0 if you like. There're discords dedicated to rebirth, and they're releasing much better screenshots and movies.
When 2.0 launched SE aggressively went after people with vid of 1.0 on TH-cam. Mine included. Can't imagine why. I mean it looked terrible right? Right? RIGHT?
So now you know why.
@@ToriesgoneofImglad looking terrible was the one thing 1.0 never did. it was everything else that was bad XD
I prefer 1.0 cutscenes... Fight me.
@@NobuxD using actual mocap, movement was soooo much cleaner in 1.0's cutscenes, at the behest of it's massively doggish performance hit.
1.0 ending with the scene of Bahamut just obliterating everything is possibly the strongest game endings of all time "Oh btw you failed" servers shut down. I remember watching videos of people gathered around watching Dalamud descend in real time, pretty chilling
Sitting there just /waiting/, listening to the heavily distorted version of Answers. Just sitting there with the other players, knowing it's going to end soon and... And...
And just uncerimoniously seeing that 'connection lost' screen.
They're still on youtube. You can see the moon slowly descending, untill finally...the servers go out and the trailer plays.
Yea, well, I was there. No real way to describe how haunting it was in those last days and weeks, and especially in the last hours knowing it would all end for good and you, the player--the hero--had failed. So marvelously designed by the team to bring that to and end and bring in what we have now.
It's cliché, but--you had to be there to truly know what it was like.
My FC still sits around toghether just before servers go down for the 48 hour maintenance 🤣.. Crawlers are crazy 😅
This is why I love the animation at 23:48 . Since I first saw it, with no knowledge of 1.0, I thought, "This is the hero of all the RPGs you've played, realizing he's failed, thinking this is the end of the world." Beautifully done!
Just dropping Answers in there like that is brave. Straight to demonetization, do not pass Go. But it deserves to be here, and for that, respect.
My man not oly dropped answers uncut, but the whole damn cinematic in one go, mad respect
Yeah, that's not just Answers; that's the entire cutscene it came from.
One of the most important moments in Eorzean history in full cinematic glory.
Is it coptwrighted heavily?
@@NobuxD There's a version of Answers on the in-game music player that would get claimed immediately if you were to play it on a livestream, but I think playing it with the cinematic is fine. Something similar with Dragonsong from Heavensward too. The music company behind those songs have caused a lot of problems over the years for FF14 enjoyers.
My own memories aren't as clean as that 1.0 footage.
Mine aren't either. My potato computer probably didn't look like that anyway. 😅
Cleaner exists, but you won't find it easily as SE struck down all the 1.0 channels when 2.0 was released. In fact SE actually wound back a 1.0 graphical improvement because it was too good, citing it may cause some players performance issues. (Yeah, 2.0 players!) Yes this actually happened, if you had the machine to see it and the zoneless zone lag vanish that is.
or you can set up a private 1.0 server and record high quality footage yourself
"Thou must live, die, and know" ALWAYS makes me well up
“There has never been a single awnser. You gather pieces of happiness, precious and fragile, only to lose them. Then start again. On and on it goes, until death takes you into its gentle embrace.”
No one can tell me from start to finish FF14 wasn't about human suffering and struggle.
😭
@@sonoskay There is suffering, yes, but there is also hope and joy. Even the full ending of Answers mentions it:
"Thy Life is a riddle, to bear rapture and sorrow
To listen, to suffer, to entrust unto tomorrow
In one fleeting moment, from the Land doth life flow
Yet in one fleeting moment, for anew it doth grow
In the same fleeting moment
Thou must live
Die
And know"
"Look to those who've walked before. To lead those who walk after."
I came in during HW. That part usually gives me chills. Answers is such a wonderful heartbreaking song.
Loved the duality of Answers. When you start, you think it's simply about the Calamity. Until you progress so much further in the story, it takes on such a deeper meaning and all the voices that echo the lyrics to the song.
iam a 1.0 player and i remember the last days of the game as the red moon got bigger and bigger in the sky and you could hear hydaelyns song echo throughout the world then the epic moment when the servers went offline and the cutscene played was glorious it had me in tears and thinking back to those days also brings tears to me eyes
It was like 2AM here when the servers went offline. I was ready to say "welp, that's that" and go to bed. Then that cutscene starts.
I didn't sleep much that night lol.
I wish I had screen recording software installed. It was amazing and I wish I could remember what I did during those last moments. Just a big group of us sitting around waiting for the end.
And all I got was this lousy tattoo and a misspelled name in the credits.
That 1.0 and 2.0 cutscenes make so much more sense now and hit way harder, damn
1.0 stopped at the teleport and had a screen saying "every ending had a new beginning" so the full wasn't for about 2 years until you go to see the resolution.
*spoilers for the video*
I never even realized that I didn't actually know why the armies were fighting at Carteneau. And Gaius helping stop Nael, what a twist! It's really cool to finally see all these scraps of the 1.0 story brought together after only getting parts of the picture for years.
Honestly, now it really makes sense why Gaius seems weirdly conciliatory even as he professes he sees you as savages to rule over. Unlike most Garlean rulers, he actually would have provided stability to Eorzea (at the price of the tribes not being able to summon Primals for protection) and improved the lands within a Garlean framework, and his rhetoric is not just justification to raze whomever lives there once conquered.
@@iantaakalla8180 hence the line, "Such devastation, this was not my intention." - Gaius Van Baelsar
@@iantaakalla8180 I think this also ties a lot into a lot of why he's so bitter to the player during the Praetorium speech and a few of his interactions prior as well. He interprets the actions during the Answers cutscene as nothing more than another Primal summoning instead of basically a once-in-a-lifetime specialized ritual to try and halt a Calamity, and thus grew a lot more incensed at the city-states in kind.
There's something interesting role play wise with that too. It feels like tons of characters who were not able to know the details just assumed it was just Garlemald and Eorzea fighting for land. To the public suffering from amnesia, it'd easily get covered up about the whole moon cult thing.
13:10 "Ardbert Derpland"
What a name.
Thank you for drawing my attention to that, I assume it is an edit or an edited gift from someone on the ff14 team.
(I wonder if some of this is archived footage from the team, because I do not see footage like this from 1.0 often.)
@@matthewkrumlauf9990 mmm, my other thought would be... datamining-slash-thirdparty-server (which I think is quite fair for a discontinued game)
@@matthewkrumlauf9990 Well we know Jesse didn't put hours and hours into getting 1.0 running somehow, then recreate his Derpland character just so he could get good footage to make this video for us. That would be crazy!
@@firefly1509 There's a software server of 1.0 available to download and play for free. It's very unfinished and an extremely large file size. All you can do is walk around and see some cutscenes. Most everything in it is broken or unusable.
When I saw him I went 'hey, it's Ardbert'
My favorite thing about actually being there during the end of 1.X was during the final couple of weeks during the Fall of Dalamud. They basically let the reins loose on the GMs and they would go to various aetherytes as Garlean legates, talk smack to players then spawn hordes of troops.
There was one incident where GMs spawned a bunch of monsters outside Ul'dah and players blocked them with goobbue mounts to protect the city. This actually got mentioned in ARR as the "great goobbue wall".
Have you met one of the reporters? I heard in another video reporters from the local in game news papers appeared here and there, handled by GMs of course, and were asking the players for statements and gossip and stuff.
@@KisiroKitsune Iirc, its also what the dead goobbue in thanalan is a reference to :')
1.x had GMs?
Everything I hear about the gameplay of 1.0 makes me glad I never had to suffer through it, but anytime I hear about the story and how it leads into ARR, I start to wish I was there to experience it.
Does Jesse secretly have a personal 1.0 remastered server hiding somewhere with all that quality lore footage.
There is currently a way to set up a 1.0 server to explore the world and whatnot
I imagine he used Project Meteor, which is a server emulator for v1.23b (the final version of 1.0).
Private servers or AI upscaling.
the battle of carteneau will always make me tear up. no matter how many times i've seen it, there's so much emotion in those scenes and the music and now after we wrapped up this insane storyline, it makes it even better. thank you for including the entire cutscene! my little lala lady is a proud carteneau survivor and i can't wait for the adventures that await her next!
Thancred praying at one of the sigils that, now finding out Loisoix made, hits so much different in the ARR cinematic, sheeeesh.
Everytime I see that Bahamut scene... goosebumps. Truly incredible.
I love this series and I can't wait till you get to Heavensward.
Answers will always go hard. Also, I always forget theme used for the Tweleve has been with us since ARR as well.
In other words 1.0 ended its story on a letteral cliffhanger.
Well played Yoshi.
Ever since learning that scene played for people at the end of 1.0, it's had so much more impact. It's an amazing cutscene and extremely sad.
Afaik it also wasn't the full scene, from what I heard you didn't get the happy ending part...? (Take it with a grain of salt though, I wasn't there.)
@@Sketchbloppyeah it cut just after the MC was teleported out. And we were all left there to wait and hope the game came back as planned.
And when we came back for ARR, the entire scene played out. Very cool idea for the transition.
Man Gaius even in 1.0 was a secret hero in waiting. So true to his character to "unite" the world for the better in the way he believed. Rad
"And so, Gaius learned not to listen to the words of someone who clearly lost their marbles that he forgot he had a memory of a goldfish and decided to listen to the words of someone who clearly lost their marbles, but this time they were wearing a black hood and red masks."
Funny detail that was probably cut for time reasons is that 1.0 players who rested at, I think it was inns? They could actually be shown a special cutscene that foreshadowed the calamity! And iirc a hauntingly distorted version of Answers, which is the song that plays during that final 1.0 cutscene, would play throughout most of the world as the plot got super close to the calamity and the game to shutting down in transition to 2.0. A version that is very like 1.0's distorted Answers is still played every year during the annual Rising event in certain locations in the three starting cities.
Answers - Reprise appears to be the song title of the hauntingly reverbating version
@@IrideaeSnowbloom Thank you!
Yeah it was crazy. It was not resting though. It was an actual log out function by using your bed. Next time you log in you would see the cutscene that basically acted as a nightmare you had while you were sleeping. Caught many people by surprise.
1.0 had its major flaws but overall it was an unique experience that made it special. It's kind of sad that so many people never got to experience it. I also remember fondly the rumors and speculations going around what that small red dot in the sky is. Before the corresponding patches hit and nobody knew what it was there were major discussions ingame and in forums about it. You could even notice it getting bigger from patch to patch and speculations ran wild. The entire buildup to the end of 1.0 was just magical.
Even though I've experienced this lore from playing 1.0 , seeing it all together in a concise way makes watching the footage at the end hit much more satisfyingly! Great way to get hyped before the new expansion, thanks for the great video!
As someone that played since the original 1.0 beta, the final event they did culminating in the cutscene as they shut the servers down was such a moment.
For it was definitely a move to decide to shut down the game and do what Yoshi-P was doing at the time.
"The heroes failed" is a common enough backstory to a game. But to actually play through that failure? I envy you just a little. Not too much, 1.0 was a hot mess.
@@Kairamekvery true, but by 1.21, the game was pretty enjoyable. I remember that specific version number because that’s the one I recall the game truly turning around for the better in so many ways.
Hearing this makes the rest of the Gaius arc make so much more sense!
I played a bit of 1.x but was too turned off by the game play so I went back to FFXI. When ARR came out I waited until people were raving about the improvements so I was playing again by 2.1. I wish they included more of this story in ARR! They touched on it at times in the side stories but man, what an intro into the world, I really wish I stuck with it just to hear this story real time. I wish they would do a Eureka type thing where we go back in time and live the events again, maybe cleaned up a bit to fit the current story and story telling cadence.
Yay more FFXIV lore!
Edit: Gosh dangit Jesse, how did you know I wanted to watch the full ARR cutscene at the end of all that? Actually got me to cry. Knowing all the leadup makes it SO MUCH more impactful.
I know right, the WHM watching after us as we dash back off into battle like a worrying mother watching her son go to war uppercuts me in the feels every since time I see it!
Man, the 1.0 cutscenes motion capture is fantastic. The shots are so cinematic.
They were so great when the game ran higher than 15 fps. The OG 1.0 ran sooo badly though. In part because of too many polygons on everything. Flower pots in cities had more polygons than actual player characters.
@@NaturesFlame - I can also understand why they leaned more on using the canned animations from ARR onwards, they didn't have much time to redo the game and besides it made it easier to produce more content at a faster rate. Here's hoping we get more of the high quality motion capture in DT's main cutscenes.
Ya know, I just realized the leader of the VII Legion literally trying to summon a "meteor" that he worships is an extremely blunt reference. Even with a fire walk.
Yeah the numbers the Legions are named after always reference that game. Like the VIth Legion were the ones after the Warring Triad in Heavensward.
Nice FF 7 reference!
This video should be watch for all those who are thinking about coming into the game. I've seen so many people lost because they don't know what's going on. This could help create a nice stable base for new players. Though watching this... the nostalgia was palpable...
Yes, as I understand it, this is Jesse's purpose for the series. This is why he only covers what was known at the time each video addresses, not everything we know today. Part of what's great about the writing is that we sometimes learn things we thought were true are wrong, or at least not the whole story. Jesse wants people to be able to watch up to whatever point they want, and play from there on without spoilers. I expect this will hold in the ARR video (e.g. he won't mention what happens to people after ARR) and for later expansions.
I finally made it to the Shiva fight after several attempts of trying to get into XIV and that phase transition as sealed the deal on getting me hooked. Looking foward to watching this to recap the main quest!
Exact same here, the track kicking it made me realise there was a bit more going on design wise
The Shiva music transition is what hooked me in back in the day too. It's so good.
No way, that's the point that got me hooked as well! Now I'm an Ultimate raider all the way at the end of Endwalker, waiting for tomorrow for Dawntrail to release 3 years later. Have fun playing through the game!
Welcome on in! Enjoy the journey!
That gets a lot of folks, though of the people I know most of the ones playing back when ARR was new got hooked by Titan. Under The Weight never really hit me the same way, for me it was Garuda.
Anyway, music good.
The Moogle on Nyquil speaks to my soul
Uploads this while servers are in maintenance? He knows what he's doing! Thanks Jeese!
Yep, crazy how with this maintenance we are starting a brand new arc from one that began with the story from this video over ten years ago! I mean like I played this game after just getting out of the military and there are people I play with now who were babies then!
And the game lore just keeps getting better at that! Can't wait for more of these videos!
I'm so glad you included the ARR cinematic uninterrupted. It's honestly one of the most impactful pieces of media in the Final Fantasy franchise as a whole. Gives me chills EVERY time.
Loremaster Coxstradamus has blessed us with LOOOOORE. We love you, Jesse!
That cinematic still gives me goosebumps and makes me cry.
answers is just ...something else.
Can't help but tear up during that Bahamut scene that ended 1.0. I barely even played it, yet it's just so heart wrenching to see the collapse of a society and the heroes to truly fail.
Watching the ARR opening cinematic post-Shadowbringers is like "Go, Warriors of Darkness, go!"
I'm so glad to see you back on this! You did a fantastic job here Jesse. Kudos for just straight up playing the final cutscene. Very important, not just for context but for tone as well I feel.
Thanks! I love your FFXIV lore videos, because they are well written and easily digestible primers into what had become one of my favorite games.
Thank you so much for making this video, Jesse ❤
As someone that's helped code and rebuild 1.0 from the ground up (even in my own very small way), I'm super happy from seeing people take such an effort at making sure all the great lore and story from those days isn't forgotten to time, and I love seeing everyone here take an interest in this.
Looking forward to seeing the rest of the series.
Saved me from Maintenance pain, Jesse. Thank you ^^
Jesse that was OUTSTANDING. Thank you for giving me something to get me to the next dawn!
I could have the greatest day ever then suddenly hear Answer and become sad.
I can't believe Jesse got away with putting the entire "End of Era" trailer in there.
Aahhh that cutscene is still my all-time favorite. I'm still glad I was a part of the 1.0 gang, but boy the game was not very good before ARR.
I remember when ARR was announced - how I did not at all believe they would be able to relaunch the game and be successful, how very wrong I was!
And here we are, one day till another great expansion
The editing and animations in this are sooo cute! Hats off to the editors and animator!
I've been waiting for this since the last lore video. Amazing work as always
This was so well done, brilliant and concise. Thank you so much for this, needed this refresher. Bonus for putting the Answers cinematic at the end. Love it!
It's been a minute, but I'm glad this video series is continuing.
First off as someone who just started playing FF14 earlier this week I have to say these Lore videos and this 1.0 Video gives ALOT of insight on questions I have had since the start.
So thank you for not only answering some of those questions but also giving me something to watch during game maintenance. There are so many more story questions I have right now as Im on the level 27 MSQ that will hopefully get answered as I get through the story.
I look forward to your future FF14 videos and really appreciate the work you put into these videos and the information give, and also the non spoilers and working in timeline order as information is given to the player.
I think we all know that the “certain gentleman” deserves his own video to himself (might work better as a series of shorter videos though)
Glad to see this series starting back up! I kind of love it.
Yes Jesse! I've been waiting for this video since your other beginner lore videos!
Jesse, this was amazing. I've been playing 14 for 2.5 years now and the 1.0 stuff has always been somewhat known to me...but never organized so I could actually understand it. You did that. Thank you.
Gorgeous and informative video, Jesse. Impeccable work as always!
Bro, Holy crap!!
You did some damn good work here.
This was obviously a lot to take on, so thank you so much!! Wonderful video. Sharing to everyone I know.
Thank you for this video! I had no idea, they really fleshed out Gaius character like this in 1.0! Very cool!
Amazing summary and footage. Also the scene at the end never fails to make me cry.
I watched this last night, and all i can say is good job, Jesse!
Thank you Jesse for making these! Very entertaining and informative! Expertly edited!!
Been playing since 1.0, and never saw the history put so clearly and concisely.
Very nice job!
I've always been meaning to get around to watching a MSQ compilation of a 1.0 play-through (and still do), this is such a nice informative booklet sized summary of 1.0, and in only ~20 minutes.
1.0 might have been bad in terms of gameplay, but it had some good story bits. It's also amazing that the devs didn't forget the 1.0 story and added all those throwbacks in Endwalker.
It makes sense, everything involving Project Meteor and the impending Calamity was added during patches after Yoshi-P became the new head of development. The actual 1.0 story was very light as the original devs weren't quite sure what direction they wanted to go in and they were so focused on trying to make something of the mess of a game they had on their hands.
Some of the original 1.0 story does remain relevant, however, like Minfilia's backstory which gets called back on in the 2.x patches and the Stormblood Alchemist quests.
Maaan this is the summary I had been missing!! I didnt learn any of this context around Dalamud, Cid, and the Empire until I stumbled into the Bozja questline. Then I asked a veteran friend to fill in the blanks... First time I really felt liked I'd missed out in not being around for 1.0!
I love these lore videos so much! Thank you for putting in the time to make this!!
This was so good. Thanks for all the hard work and time that went into this, Jesse!
I could listen to you recite lore to me all day. The more you make of this, the better.
Jesse this is a brilliant recap of 1.0! Thank you for making such a great recourse for new players.
Thank you, Jesse. This reminded me of how much I love this game.
Excellent video Jesse! That 1.0 footage is great. I also appreciate that you addressed my own immediate follow-ups, which are a few of the more specific story beats that get referenced in 2.0 and later but aren't recreated, specifically Thancred, Minfilia and F'lhaminn and how their little found family gets started (which really impacts Thancred's later story arcs), and for a more light hearted side, Hildebrand's 1.0 adventures.
This video is awesome. Fills in knowledge gaps and presented with great footage. Thank you for the hard work!
Jesse, thank you so much for making this. For the past couple of years, ever since YOU YOURSELF got me hooked on this frigging game XD I've been meaning to look up the 1.0 storyline. This is perfect and I'm sharing it with all my FC members.
Your lore videos are always a joy to watch.
Excellent video; the ARR trailer's second half always brings me tears of joy.
dude these videos are killer. i forget a lot of details and never really wanna go back and re watch cutscenes. you should really cover the rest of the expansions, too! i’m sure it’s tedious but that would be really awesome.
Woah 😯excellent Video Mr. Cox! I was engaged the entire time and eagerly look forward to the future Lore videos.
I'm a longtime player and I still feel like I'm always learning something new about the lore. Love your stuff!
This video is so fucking rad, thank you Jesse for all the love and care you've poured into this! I remember to this day that my spouse and I actively made the decision NOT to play 1.0 because of all the problems we were hearing about it. But we joined ARR when it first came out, and every time I see 1.0 footage I (scream internally) always tell myself that I should've followed my gut and played 1.0 problems and all. I really appreciate that I can have understanding of 1.0 lore because of videos like this, thanks again :^D
Love the vid. Love how you put the Answers vid in here like that. It's amazing. I just hope you don't get a copyright strike.
I'm really glad you're back Jesse. I remember watching you back in the early Skyrim days and I loved your content and humor so much. It made me sad when I saw your content fall off and hoped you'd one day find something new to focus your immense passion on. And now you create content for my favorite MMO. Thank you for sticking to your hard work and dedication and being here today. Glad to have been a long time subscriber of yours.
Man's never stopped, he just does Twitch now.
Thank you so much for this Jesse, very clean, very nice.
I followed your first 2 videos years ago when i first started ffxiv.
Glad to finally see a 3rd video, please make more.
We'll just have to wait for the next expansions release maintenance for the 2.0 lore.
You make listening to you very easy and engaging Jesse, I have a hearing condition that makes it hard to focus and follow along for too long sometimes but it is very easy to stay engaged with you as the way you emphasise and your cadence is very easy to follow (you keep it interesting to process). 🥰
I have been waiting for this for so long!!!!
When I tell you how loud I screamed when I saw you'd FINALLY brought this series back!!
Duuuuude yesss, thank you thank you thank youuu
I have all 3 volumes of Encyclopedia Eorzea but I loved just kicking back and watching your lore videos, and I hope you won't keep us waiting another couple years for the next one :P
So good! Thank you for these wonderful videos- they do a lot to help understand things that were lost on me the first time around. Eagerly awaiting the one that goes into the calamity
Jesse cooking again... You love to see it!
I have been waiting for a good while for the next lore video! Thanks Jesse for saving me from the maintance pain and to help me write my fanfic! ❤🔥
Finally we have continuation for Jesse's lore videos! ❤Been waiting for this
Immaculate video. Brilliantly put together
It's been so long since you mentioned this. This is awesome!
I will never not get shivers any time that small flute tune plays, the one when the WoLs reappear after the battle of Carteneau. It's such a simple theme but it's FFXIV's most iconic sound for the wonder of adventure.
I've been pretty seriously playing 14 for the past 5 years, and had looked into some 1.0 lore so I knew a bit of this. But even so you managed to lay it out so clearly and cleanly that I learned a few new things. Bravo sir! Outstanding!
Thanks for the lore Jesse, this was so good! Also, "Answers" never fails to make my eyes all watery!
THANK YOOOOOU SO MUCH I WAS HOPING FOR THIS
Holy heck, a beautiful journey of talk.
Thank you for making this.
I love this game so much, that ending trailer always brings up the feels no matter how many times I've seen it.
Holy shit I didn't think this series was ever coming back. I subscribed specifically for these years ago. Thanks for bringing it back! Of all the lore vids yours are the easiest to understand and digest!
Very great video. Having no context ever on what 1.0 was and jumping in straight at Heavensward, I had no idea how everything tied together. Thank you for the Answers to my questions and how everything neatly ties together into the epic finale/beginning. It truly hits different with all of the lore, chills and tears thinking about all of the history. Looking forward to more of this series 😃
Thank you I was hoping for more Lore videos
Love these lore videos Jesse
