You now have an honorary FFXIV degree, make sure to put it on your resume and tell 'em I sent ya
fun fact: marauder was a better tank than warrior in 2.0. It also did comparable damage to a lot of dps classes, thanks to being able to grab roughly half a billion damage buffs. The end result was raging strikes, blood for blood, inner release (this was a crit buff), and berserk, combined with slashing resistance down and damage up from maim/storm's eye, which led to absurd dps marauders at lvl 50 that could out-perform a lot of the dedicated dps jobs. As for tank? Yeah you actually got more (and typically better) defensive CDs from other jobs in large enough number that you ended up being tankier because war tank stance was borderline useless in 2.0 -_-.
did you know that player hitboxes were different depending on their race? They changed it early in ARR to balance stuff. Every tanks were a lalafell because they have small hitbox. Now ot's just a tiny little pixel in the center, so everyone's the same.
Did you know, ROG/NIN is actually a the only job that's added in between expansion (ARR – HW). That's why you cannot choose rogue from the character creation.
Did you know that flying in ARR zones were not a thing until patch 5.3? Now you can fly, being added after you defeat the ultima weapon
Did you know, the armor you get from trading odin plates actually had the odin cape before. They removed it because there's a lot of physics on the cape, and if everyone's using it, the game lags so much.
I kind of want a 2.0 server with how everything used to be to experience this
This was nice.
That was very interesting! Made me feel a bit old tho
Larry's voice is so soothing for some reason, and his humor so dry. I love it. xD
Stoneskin, people complaining about how long it took to Stoneskin everyone so SE added Stoneskin II late into ARR, having to go to a town to switch classes or all your abilities would be put on like a 10 second cooldown, everyone had to level bard for both Quelling and Raging Strike, had to be 50 to even access glamours, "Where do I get egg?", Flash, Sprint not only consuming your TP but it's duration was based on how much it consumed, so if you were low for some reason like you just revived after wiping in a dungeon, you'd blow it for 1 second of movespeed. Good times…
I love Ragnarok Origin, because Ragnarok Online was my first mmo, a really, really long time ago. It's all about the nostalgia.
also healers needed to cast protect for the whole party and individually cast stoneskin to each member, I remember the fun time chasing down tanks who runs ahead to protect and stoneskin them
The memories….
Thank you Larry, now I feel INCREDIBLY OLD! D:
the good old days
Wow… I remember those days…. I feel…. like a veteran, and…. old…. lol
Would love to see a series on the history of jobs showing how they have changed over time too!
Wait, so… The reason that carbuncle appears on that particular rope in Rev's Toll… is a reference to an old wall jump glitch?
I totally forgot about quelling strikes! Such a throwback, it was so bad to start dpsing and suddenly pull aggro because my profetic megumin cosplay job was doing too much dmg. Good times
Also, I miss to hate the old enochian
I feel old now remembering this days.
I'm so glad multiple systems have been simplified over the years, one being the Glamour system, unlike how it is now, with just the one universal Glamour Prism item, there was 35 different Glamour Prism items, one for every crafting class (except CUL) and in 5 separate tiers, if you wanted to glamour a shield, you needed the ARM Glamour Prism, for a robe, a WVR Glamour Prism, and so on, the level of the gear you wanted to glamour determined what tier prism you needed.
That old version of the glamour system was a massive inventory hog, because we only had 100 inventory slots back then and no Chocobo Saddlebag, so if you had at least one of every Glamour Prism at each tier, that's over 1/3 of your inventory taken up from just Glamour Prisms.
Another system that has luckily improved is the inventory system, we used to only have 100 slots, no Chocobo Saddlebag and items would only stack up to 99 each, now we have an inventory with 150 slots, a Chocobo Saddlebag with a further 70 slots and item stacks go as high as 999.
I miss that Eos and Selen did completely diffrent things the fairies were the whole point as to why I became a scholar in the first place.
That was weirdly nostalgic, even though I joined the game in 2020. I would love to see more content about the old times!
In the next one make sure to talk about Bard cast bars.
Tell the Bald One
bring back tank titan-egi
Bloody hell, so u are saying if I minimum ilvl no echo, the second coil turn 2 now it is still easier the past? Bloody hell… Even my raid group already have a hard time dealing with it with current stats at min ilvl🤦🏻♂️
I miss stoneskin and protect 🙁
I remember when I was in Cleric Stance and have to heal the tank, I forgot that I was in Cleric Stance. 😀
The glitch where you could walk on the ropes didn’t just stop at the ropes. With some jumping skills that would make Mario jealous, you were able to get on top of the rising stones.
Great video! You should do more of these.
Yeah. I miss people yelling at me: "TURN OFF CLERIC STANCE, YOU FUCKING IDIOT HEALER!!"
Damn this brings back a lot of memories
i loved hearing about the coils strats you used back then! my group is doing coils at min ilvl no echo and while it's still really fun and challenging, i've been super curious about what the fights were like before.
so much nostalgia!
HW DRK plz.
Oh yes… Heavensward, where a Summoner doing his opener would ALWAYS pull aggro no matter what the tank did (at the start of the expansion, they nerfed Summoner after a while) or where Tanks would use STR Accessories, because of DPS which made them squishy as hell and they would still pull like 3 groups and die when you were not spam healing them which wasn't helped because those Tanks also used their DPS stance and not the Tank stance….
Like a severely traumatized Vietnam veteran I forced myself to forget all this shit. Thanks for the PTSD flash-back
You know you've been playing awhile if you can remember when Rowena lived in a tent. 🎪
I remember when to optimally play Bard or Machinist, you had to become a caster. Those were dark days.
Tbh things like "being at t he raid entrance to start" is something i miss. Yes it's easy now but there was something about everyone standing there.
Oh god I remember the TP bar haha. I used to accidentally Sprint as Tank and and man…
The only thing I really miss is Aero III 🙁 Hope they bring it back in Endwalker.
seeing someone that has played the game for so long talking about how things were before and how it has been upgraded makes me feel in a way happy, like a grandpa talkin about ting he did when he was younger.
Something I really miss as a tank was the stance dancing between the old Shield Oath (basically enmity stance) and Sword Oath (damage stance).
Managing aggro was actually a fun part of tanking for me. It helped that I started the game as a Gladiator so there was no time for me to get tanxiety at all.
I’d love to see how Astrologians were; and why my astrologist went from shuffling 6 random cards down to a heads or tails coin toss mechanic.
I started playing during 4.0 so I missed most of this stuff, but I remember my friends trying to explain to me how they had to deal with ADS, and I've always been really confused like "wah-?"
now it's all clear.
thank you Larry sensei uwu
Each video I come closer and closer to thinking Larryzaur and Johneawesome are the same person
I know people hated needing to level other classes to unlock jobs or vital things like Swiftcast, but I loved that it made me try out things that weren't MNK just to reaffirm I did indeed love that job the most.
I was thinking this was going to be mega meme video, but it was actually really nice and informative and fun. Nice video.
So many of these things, i actually miss.
