I will never complain about aurum vale again after seeing this

While 2.0+ is obviously better, I can't help but miss the way this game controlled. Everything you did had weight to it, like you were grounded in a world with somewhat consistent laws. Your footsteps matched the distance you went and you couldn't just slide across the ground while doing a non-walking animation. In modern XIV you feel like you have all the weight of a paperclip.

this is so wild to see this. it's literally an entire different game, but places i've been to before. def got some ffxi vibes off of this

I never played 1.0 and I can't believe how densely populated the dungeons are with mobs. The class-switching before certain bosses and trash mobs is bonkers too.

When Aurum Vale is in a 8-man party meaning this is a legit raid.

is therr a private server

"why is this mahogany tree dropping oak logs -.-"

i'm ngl, i'm REALLY fascinated with the 1.0 build of the game. i wish i could turn back time to try it out. i love ff14 and i want to know how far it's come over the years

this is what I visualize when my gramps told me about her way to school

This was actually ALOT harder than it looks in this video..

i love the conversation at

I love that they kept the music (it's now used in the Hard versions of level 50 ARR dungeons).

Thanks for keeping this video up. I never got to play 1.0 so it's wonderful seeing how far the game has come since it's true beginning.

I'm confused I see flashing enemies and running without killing them. ARR is completely different indeed lol.

You begin casting stone skin

I feel like ive stumbled upon an ancient relic of long forgotten times...

1.2x: when it was better to cast damage/heals with your weapon sheaved, it made our toons look like we did nothing but wipe sweat off our heads.

The way people stand together like that makes them look like multiboxers
