Getting into FFXI after getting severe burnout from Dawntrail, it makes me wish we could of at least kept the combat system, something different to the same kind of style we've have seen and gotten bored of for decades. But I guess they just really wanted to chase that general audience

I feel like 1.0 combat looked a lot better, for that time period anyway. I kinda wish, now that technology has caught up with it, the new graphical update would make the combat look as lively as this 1.0 footage does. However, that may be quite difficult without make it feel as awful and clunky as 1.0 was. I'm talking about the combat animations, the effects and the details, obviously not about the atrocious controls.

I see a lot of comments of people praising 1.0's combat, saying how good it was and it had "weight to it", and how they would like to see a return, but I have to disagree. I was one of the unfortunate few to have struggled through 1.0 and I don't miss that shit at all. The combat was archaic and sloppy. Movement made character look robotic and confused. I remember getting a laugh many times watching casters facing the wrong direction while casting spells. Even the movement of NPCs and monsters was comical at times. 1.0 was a shit show and I think I'm part of the large majority that don't miss it AT ALL. ARR was needed and it stopped the game from meeting what would have been a disastrous end "no pun intended". So let me be clear one final time here, nothing about the old combat system was good, not one single thing, and those of you that DO miss it, all I can say is, you really need to go back to playing OSRS if you like slow yawn worthy combat.

All this talk in this comment section about the animations in 1.0. If games sold based on animations, it sounds like the original version of FFXIV 1.0 would've been the best selling game of all time. Unfortunately, it sucked in every other respect and everyone hated it, because the animations are irrelevant to a well designed game. They went back to the drawing board, turned it into a World of Warcraft clone, and found actual success.

Ff14 1.0 was like a twist of ff11 and ff12. They changed the way battle systèmes work ,like world of warctaft. I wish it was slower and more tactic than in 2.0. 1.0 was not bad but could have been improved allot to feel like a final fantasy game.

It's funny to me that people have this weird proclivity to pretend things that are bad were good 'in a way'. Like this game just looks awful. From the chatbox spamming random nonsense to the SFX when selecting skills to the tabulated skills to the unnecessary soulslike targeting which would be impossible to make modern fights with. The game was also apparently laggy and the graphics while higher fidelity still look much worse. The character freaking dissapears for a second when you change equipment. Can we stop pretending 1.0 had anything noteworthy? The only thing I would even consider saying I like better is the HuD on the hp/mp/tp. And that's only because the modern one is really ugly.

1.0 was a lot more fun. Not denying that it was unresponsive and broken on a technical backend level, but the systems and gameplay were more fun than current ff14
@lushen95211 ай бұрын
@im50yearsold Lol is that why the game dropped off a cliff in terms of playerbase and they had to make a public apology, completely change leadership, and literally nuke the world to restart with what is now considered the actual release in terms of anniversary events? Like dude stop trying to be a contrarian. Everything currently bad about xiv is leftover stuff from 1.0. It was such a horrible game.
@im50yearsold11 ай бұрын
@@lushen952 The game dropped off a clif because it was a mess on a technical level and even worse a mess of spaghetti code. A lot of menus especially in auction house straight up didn't work, optimization was a mess, sometimes trying to open a menu would take 5+ seconds. The game itself was good fun when things were behaving and much better than the generic wow clone it is today

What would really make a difference is if the devs completed the sections that we can't go, like npc residences in the big cities like Ul'Dah, to be able to go in every single house, be able to open every single door
@treebeard7298 Жыл бұрын
@@BranBal why? I don't go into every house I can see in real life. Hell, I've been in more locations in virtual space than I've ever been in real life. I don't see why going into a house you have no purpose to be in makes anything better for the game? Great, its "Random NPC name" house with "Generic household item randomized in different layouts" that doesn't do anything gameplay wise. Of all the things to want in a game you want NPC houses? Why not at the very least make them player owned houses? There are surely enough homes to pad out many MANY parts of the game as it stands if you wanted large swathes of interactive homes. There are more than enough player owned houses in the game to make a full size realistic city, if the game engine could handle something like that
