FFXIV 1.0 is a shut down MMO whose servers went out over a decade ago. In this let’s play I’m playing it as it was, exploring the story, the world, and what went wrong.

I am 10 minutes in ,and this is AWESOME. I have heard stories about 1.0, and as someone who absolutely adores FFXI, I am curious to see what happens!
Hey guys! Look at this as episode 0, dealing with game background and UI/Skills/Mechanics! Next part will include the story + world exploration in earnest.
Hey WP, glad you are doing this, despite all the technical hassle it means
Excited to watch this for the first time.
I still miss the combat from 1.8. It wasn't the hyper spazz fest button mashing extranganza it is now. It was far better paced.
I actually preordered this before it came out years and years ago. I was super excited because I was a huge fan of 11. Even with how bad it was, I would have stuck with it but my PC at the time really couldnt handle the graphics so I quit playing after a few months and never went back :/ I wish I would have stuck with it, but you know what they say about hindsight…
The 1.0 characters did NOT "go away", I'm stil playing mine in 7.0 .. SE transferred them into 2.0 in the same state they were in when the 1.0 servers were switched off.
Since you mentioned sharlayan and co in the Wikipedia article. Apparently if i remember correctly they originally planned to have 6 starting citys. So as we know limsa, gridania and Ul'dah, but also ishgard, sharlayan and Ala mihgo but realizing the necessary work load they reconsidered.
I think they talked about it during the last fan fest when talking about 2.0 development and how they very shortly talked about the possibility to implement it in 2.0 but reasonably scrapped it
Omg pls bring back that lala idle animations
A lot of these people are the team Yoshi-P brought on to fix the game. Final patch so most of the dead weight is already gone by now.
