The same person also judges classes he's only played to 25, so there you go.

Whatever.I really can't believe there are still some people who defend 1.0.Worst MMORPG ever.Worst ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ combat system ever.The only good thing about 1.0 was areas didn't have loading screen.lol

There were 120k subscribers for 1.20, just saying...

That was also the time when they went free-to-play while trying to undo the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ of 1.0.

No they weren't. When subscription hit in 1.20 there were 120k people paying subs. That was one of the key turning point because they weren't sure they should go ahead with the revamp and if there were fewer people paid subs then there wouldn't be ARR as it is today. SE would just close down FFXIV and Yochi Wada performed seppuku and that's that.

Honestly you missed out a lot of excellent quality quests in 1.0 pre Yoshi-P. Unfortunately they don't involve fighting at all. The companion you get in 1.0 was also very well written and there were dozens of different personality you get, I got a slutty Miqo'te Conjurer but whatever she's much better than a chocobo that doesn't even speak. Graphic models were very high quality but precisely because of that it kinda overkilled the graphics and destroyed the engine. One flower vase in 1.0 has as much polygons as one character model in 2.0.

Not the first time I've heard that statistic, actually. It was one of Yoshi's complaints about 1.0, that they focused more on graphics than on gameplay. Kind of like 13, actually...

It's sadly what SE has become known for. FF in particular.

I think the major issue with 1.0 was graphics and because they spent so much time on it they didn't do anything else, at all. No contents whatsoever apart from very very very well made quests and companions. I'm not talking about writing, I'm talking about the executions e.g animation, camera angles etc. in 1.0 was much better than 2.0.

that framerate, lol

combat looked so much weightier and solid even if it also looked waaaaaaaay more boring. I really like how much weightier the movement looks too.

[Separa]

I thought the graphics looked really grainy, when I played it; was a pretty big turnoff, for me. And yeah; the combat was boring. It didn't hold my attention for long at all.

If only you got to play the original 1.0 version of the game..

Such a shame it changed from that really unique experience

And in this case "unique" didn't mean "good." For instance, experience gain having a daily limit, degrading over time until eventually dropping to zero? Combat not only having TP, but also fatigue, making it a pain to go from one mob to the next?

Unique, but not fun. There's a reason it failed so hard Square had to apologize for it. The same company hasn't even apologized for the atrocity that is All The Bravest, so what does that tell you?

This.

Well you do miss out Yda unmasked in the old 1.0 :P

You have to say the animation in 1.0 cutscenes were much better than 2.0.

worthless game, seriously...crap quests, limited graphics, gindfest to level any job outside of main, lackluster sounds and animation, totally backwards questing turn-ins (kill 3 mobs, run across 1/2 of the world only to be told to run 1/2 the world again to turn in the last part of quest, pitiful world size (smaller than most single payer rpgs), no correction for lag so good luck getting out of enemy skill hit-boxes unles you live 3 blocks from server, pvp Ques are insane, dungeons are borning, skills are underwelming

You can level the other jobs much faster than the first. As for traveling... You can teleport to pretty much anywhere in the world, for a small amount of gil. I won't bother defending the rest. If you didn't like the game; fine. It's not my all-time-favorite either.

Yeah, you get double kill experience for any class other than your highest-level class. In dungeons, this equates to incredible payout. And that's without the rested exp bonus, or chain bonuses if you're lucky.

So is running across "half the world" a pain in the ass, or is it pitifully undersized? Also, how much time do you have in the game? You don't appear to own it, and your profile is set to private.
