    It's so interesting to watch the evolution of the benchmarks. Especially the HS one?? The amount of spoilers was kind of insane haha. Its also nice to see they start having some "benchmark traditions" like showcasing the new jobs as your wol, the little crafter/gather get together, flying across the zones, and the pose at the end.

      That's because it's just the opening cutscene of the Limsa story with a random character. The reason I didn't include it as part of the main video is because there's nothing original to it. You can see the full version of it here: th-cam.com/video/W9I1cGgh8aQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=JLsfWxr4kslHz4af

      1.0 looked good, real good, it was too good looking, at the time the game ran like shite because the graphics were too good (and the game was horribly optimized) but it was a real thing that the game had way too high graphics at the time so average PC couldnt run the game back then

    Fascinating to see the 1.0 benchmark again after the DT one. You can tell how badly they dialed down the graphical fidelity in ARR and onward, how much they really wanted to have that cinematic MMO experience, it almost seems like a return to it with the new DT assets and shaders.

    For ARR, there were in fact two benchmarks.
    The "Exploration" as seen in the video. And a separate "Character creation" benchmark.
    Both feature the same scenes, but the latter lets you create your character for said scenes, just like the later Benchmarks would. The Exploration benchmark meanwhile only features the default cat-boy Paladin. (this was before they made Derplander the default)
    Now for the luxury of having that character creator, the file-size of the ARR benchmark went up from 500 megs to a full 3 gigs.

    • @ffxivarchived

    Ok... no wonder Heavensward was an award winner... the benchmark alone was BONKERS! (compared to ARR) Stormblood was VERY nice and cinematic too, but it probably made people expect a bit too much... hm... although, benchmarks are more like simulations of what a pc should be able to endure when there are plenty of players around. (I wished we had more lively towns though...) But god damn... Dark Knight getting 2 badass intros in 2 expansions. xDD And still no clue what omega was doing in the Endwalker benchmark... huh. (also how I missed that benchmark I do not know, must have had a mental blackout or so, but at least you can show me the pleasure of Zenos kicking Alisaie... she got him back later with a psychological screening that stripped him but well well...)

      Unlike WoW, no one is nostalgic for 1.0 in the sense of "that was a good game, I wish I relive that again". At most you would have people taking a look for a while out of curiosity and returning to the modern version, not staying long term.There is maybe some of that nostalgia for Stormblood and Shadowbringers, but not 1.0.

      @farlado5459 Sea of clouds wouldn't be bad with bridges, I had a feeling someone wouldn't comment back with that zone. Flying eliminates the dangers and annoyance of aggro, which leads to the devs creating zones that dont have to be explored, which makes dungeons only viable through duty finder. Instead of cave, you can happen upon, etc, etc. Yoshi P said he played WoW and other MMO that have great elements exploration and dungeon crawling, and yet instead of focusing on adding like those he put in flying, he made the whole zone useless.

      @@Ameion I honestly don't think that I would blame flying for zones not being worth exploring. XIV simply hasn't created good *open-world* content, and that would be the case regardless of whether flying was or wasn't implemented. It would be wonderful to have more stuff in the open world, so that there isn't as much incentive to fly past everything in each zone, but just dropping flying and forcing everyone to walk through the empty expanses won't necessarily help anyone.
