Hello Eorzeans! In this episode of RoaR I decided to revisit some of the most requested 1.0 features, sent in by you! We're looking back at Skirmish, the old Attributes system, and the very convoluted materia system! More detailed information can be found here: speakersxiv.com... Hope you enjoy! :D

I miss Skirmish. Was a lot of fun. I still think of it and the ferry npc for it when I look at where it was then. Wish I hadn't passed up on one final Skirmish on the day of final save, to get my last crafter to 50. Didn't think it would vanish either.

[@boarMcberry]

a bit of fun fact: skirmish would actually got adapted into FF11 about a year later for Adoulin expansion. Was started playing FF11 right after 1.0 ends & it was still on WotG/abyssea era back then, with Adoulin only released shy few months before 2.0 launched, with FF11 skirmish released much later after FF14 2.0 launched. Just wanna make note since your video kinda implies FF14's skirmish was adapted from FF11s while it's the other way around. ;)

[@gdi69]

Minor correction. The base 107 or whatever Item Level Skirmish in XI(and possibly the 113 tier as well) was released prior to ARR. Doesn't really change the timeline of things much though. 1.0's Skirmish was definitely released before XI's. Although I'm not sure they're related much at all.

[@boarMcberry]

@@gdi69 checked the facts & guess u were right, skirmish ff11 was released few months before 14's 2.0 launched, guess my error due to me able to play 2.0 beta back then. Thx for correction. & yea, it's only naming related, probably not content related.

[@overratedcynic9124]

This was quite great and interesting, I honestly love your 1.x content since I never came to play it but am curious out of which game ARR was born. Just one mistake spotted: You don't use catalysts at all for melding since Stormblood.

[@DragonFyr09x]

I would absolutely love some of that old materia in the current game. It would add quite a bit more customization to our gear than we already have :/

[@soveia3408]

"Today this also counts parrying" Strength doesn't affect damage reduced by blocking or parrying since HW. DEX also affected the rate of both in ARR

[@SpeakersNetwork]

Aahhh... Right! @-@ there's been so many changes to the stats in this game I can't keep up lol

[@ebrules]

Hey, no just using the FFXI Level Down sound effect in your video without proper warning! I had grinding flashbacks!

[@SpeakersNetwork]

>:3 mwahaha!

[@Starfloofle]

o-oh god, what? you could DELEVEL in XI? Lord have mercy

[@Draphia]

OH YEA. Back in the day it was really bad dying, its been reduced to almost nothing these days thankfully

[@Null_Experis]

@@Starfloofle Death used to mean something in FF MMOs. 8% of your next experience breakpoint. Getting a raise would give some of it back, it would be possible to de-level on death and gain it back with a raise.

[@thebardkestrel]

I am having deja vu...oh, well, I'll watch it again. EDIT: To be fair, I'm only going after the Lonely Explorer achievement right now, so this is delightful to have on on my second monitor.

[@justfox-fs4oh]

thebardkestrel that was a fun achievement to get tbh its no necromancer which is near impossible.

[@Yin_yue_]

I appreciated the ominous thunderclap for "The Forbidden Meld™".

[@darkfury1733]

YOU DO AMAZING WORK! and if anyone thinks other wise they can unsub. i promote you hard on jenova. you are a damn fine creator! keep up the amazing work an content Fury Rayne aka Dark Fury Jenova

[@SpeakersNetwork]

Thank you! :D

[@omejikat]

This was a really good one!

[@Its_Casprin]

Enjoying this in 2024.

[@the_dark_soul_of_man]

And together these materia were the MATERIA RANGERS!

[@itsdamnfox2899]

The forbidden meld... Damn

[@PowerArmorV113]

I assume the Evenflow materia was only given when thoughts arrived like butterflies.

[@ProfessM]

Skirmish could work today. Maybe as way to get hunt seals? I don't know I just want the items from hunt seals and whenever I log in the big hunts are already dead. Wow the stats and materia where a nightmare back before our lord Bahamut used his fire to clean away the BS. Everytime you bring up crafters or gatherers could do the story I keep wishing they still did that. I have a few RL friends that don't enjoy the combat but just love the hand and land jobs.

[@justfox-fs4oh]

ProfessM apparently crafters will get new content in 4.3 that isnt beast tribe.

[@seankkg]

Seventh Gate is the one I'm shocked hasn't made it into 2.0+. That's probably my favorite on the Before Meteor OST.

[@Boyzby]

Wow, when they called it Forbidden Melding, they meant it in 1.0. Losing the item on the very likely failure sounds like an absolute nightmare.

[@ThatHomestar]

maybe i missed the memo, but video 31 on your remnants of a realm playlist is privated

[@crodo123]

wow look at that combat... so exciting. and people still have the audacity to suggest 1.0 was harder.

[@FoxKit]

Reuploaded because Lukile said Mind increased HP instead of MP

[@justfox-fs4oh]

Kit Fowley also disciples of land inatead of hand

[@IkarosTypeAlpha]

"lillith immaculate" That instantly reminded me of Cradle of Filth's song

[@hollowgriefband]

Want skirmish back

[@thebardkestrel]

Unrelated to my other comment, and because I don't want to edit it AGAIN. Five bazillion years ago I asked you if they had glamour in 1.0. Now that you've addressed materia, it still leaves my glamour question unaddressed. Unless the answer has slipped my mind. So did they?

[@thebardkestrel]

Thank you, that's actually super helpful and really interesting. It almost makes me think of the weight restrictions, or however you call it, in the Elder Scrolls games, in a way. I'm happier with what we have now, I was just extremely curious about what they had in the original iteration.

[@Sammmmmmmm617]

What's cracked materia?

[@AmraDestroyer]

Look at the graphics lol.Better than most of the mmorpgs today.

[@justfox-fs4oh]

Amra too much of anything can be a bad thing and it was a factor of the 1.0 failure

[@AmraDestroyer]

I know:(

[@TheBonkleFox]

Every pc in existence shat itself trying to process it tho

[@justfox-fs4oh]

Reuploaded to fix some errors?

[@SpeakersNetwork]

Yuuup!

[@Mocita]

Could you list what needed to be fixed in the description or annotations, if it is not too much trouble?

[@justfox-fs4oh]

Mocita it was mostly just saying the wrong thing but the thing on the screen was correct.

[@justfox-fs4oh]

Mocita for example saying disciples of land when they meant hand.

[@canneverthinkofaname]

I miss the old melding system, personally. It made it harder to meld gear. They could have kept that system to make gil a little more useful and also made crafting gear much more relevant.

[@TheXBOXLIVEPARTY]

I assume it was re-uploaded because someone in the ingame chat said the N word lol.

[@justfox-fs4oh]

Foontitz did that happen lol

[@TheXBOXLIVEPARTY]

Yes it did.

[@mithaVT]

......first.....?

[@justfox-fs4oh]

Dasha Clancey you are never truly first when there is a creator ;-;

[@chrislangton4662]

wtf? These were horrible systems. I'm glad they changed this

[@CallN0w]

1.0 was miserable. Don’t let the nostalgia cloud your judgment.
