They did a really good job IMO on the primals and dungeons towards the end of 1.0 but so much was just literally the stupidest things you could think of on release, ontop of atrocious latency and menu lag its surprising they made it to a 2.0

Basically the game is now the exact same thing as before, minus the lazy copy-paste garbage on the maps, minus HORSEBIRDS (yes, they did rename Chocobos into that on the JP version and infuriated the fans there. Talk about stupid) and it was a lot grinder than it's now.
It still uses mostly the same graphics assets but the engine is more refined now and requires way less horsepower on the computer. Wow my old FFXI PC is enough to play FFXIV comfortably. O_O

Does anyone remember in XI when the monsters didn't lose hate when you zoned?

Asura.Abysswalker said: »So in a quick short paragraph what was wrong with XIV 1.0? I know people said it had no real content but other than that I didn't read up on it. The engine it was built on was terrible for an MMO. The reason they had to start from scratch with ARR is that there was literally no other way to fix the latency/lag issues that plagued ver1 from alpha until the servers shut down. Not to mention that the game could barely handle more than 20 people in a small area. Or the extreme lack of content at launch.
Yay slow posting. ._.;

They did lose hate. But they would move back to their own original positions, SLOWLY.
If you want to see how was the original 2002 mob behavior on FFXI, play Skirmish at Cirdas or Rala.
The normal monsters there behave exactly as old FFXI mobs would.
Even to the part where no sneak/invisible/deodorize did not exist yet...

O_O That and the fact that they introduced Classes with non-traditional names at first. I kinda looked at that and shook my head.

That's like Adventuring fellow yeah? That's a neat idea, they may readd it. Would be neat to be able to customize your own companion like in Dragon's Dogma.

More than just an Adventuring Fellow, they were involved in the main storyline a lot and you could choose their looks and personality yourself. You pretty much did all of it with them.

How did the topic of giant scrotum come up? o.o
I was flipping through channels on the tv and I stopped on TLC cause in the corner there was a note that tonight is a new episode of the man with the 132 pound scrotum. ...I'll have to watch that.
What?! I have a morbid curiosity!
EDIT: Just looked on guide.. Oh god..

Are still there. They're just hiding on the corners now...
This is a thread that I found on another website I post at. It can be really really interesting. I thought it deserved a place here.
Post your random thoughts for the day here, or anything else that intrigues you.
For starters, is it possible to give constructive critism to someone who doesn't have a neck? I totally just walked by a girl who didn't. Someone isn't getting a necklace for Valentines day!
And who decided black and white can't be colors? I want to say a racist. I really do.
