1.0 Ending Event

>>386767994

It was one of those "you had to be there" things I will never forgive myself for not witnessing. It stills give me chills tho.

I recently watch a video of it for old time's sake and it fucking teleported me back in time. Shit was genuinely emotional. Messages scrolling up telling you that people were dying, Ul'Dah under siege, all that shit, and then the whole server just standing around waiting for it all to end. Idk what kind of dark and existential place Yoshi had to go to to construct this event, but it was magnificent.

He had to make an awful fucking MMO that failed, then had a cool idea to revive the hype and fix the game with a new iteration.

>>386768562
Fuck, dude. Why do these things make me so emotional? There's something about a bunch of people gathering and quietly awaiting the end that really digs deep.

>>386768609
I'd say the hype revival and game fixing were well worth it. XIV is infinitely better

I genuinely get upset that this hasn't been replaced with anything.

Why did need for Speed have to die with Blackbox?

is it this?
no idea whats going on in the cutscene. but purging the basegame and releasing a better(?) version sounds like a really great moment in a mmo.
which they would do that for gw2

>>386769246
I agree, and the idea was genius. They really cared about the game, especially with how deep they took the event.

The only thing they did better are graphics.

The sphere Bahamut breaks out of is the lesser moon, Dalamud. The story leading up to the end was about the Garlean Empire using ancient technology to drop the moon on Eorzea so they could come in and take the land over after everyone was fucking dead. But Dalamud wasn't just a moon, it was an ancient prison created to seal Bahamut and use him as an energy source, so he wasn't very happy about that.

>got a better game
>lost the superior animations
Small price to pay I suppose but man, the new animations for running and walking are so static and bad, why not just re-use what they had?

link to the video?

>>386768609
Yoshi didn't make 1.0. He wasn't even part of the 14 team, hell he wasnt even working on Final Fantasy games.

>>386769686
To add to this:
Before the moon starts to drop, your last quest is to go pray to twelve shrines where the gods sleep, so they awake and help you out stopping the moon from falling.
When Bahamut wakes up, the old elf dude tries to use the power of the 12 gods to impression Bahamut again. And he is like: "I'm Bahamut, bitch! Your gods are nothing!" and just break the prison like it was made out of paper.

Different engine, from what i heard. The old one preformed like garbage. that and they still wanted to release to PS3, because the promised a PS3 version.

Still kicking myself for not playing while it was free tbqh

Here's something. Bunch of people standing around waiting for the end of days, it then progresses into a cutscene and then logs you out. That shit still gives me chills and I wasn't even there to experience it.
