dungeons in 1.0 where open dungeons , anyone could go in or out of the dungeons, no party min . There where so people that pull the whole dungeon to the entrance to xp
1.0 was mainly run by XI devs who had completely failed to keep up with the current state of video games.

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.
Position was extremely important in 1.0. Standing in the wrong spot would often times get you killed because you can't see AoEs like you can in modern ffxiv. And even though the animations look sleek the added delay of movement and the very bad server latency meant that it was next to impossible to dodge anything in real time. This is why creating safe spots for your party to stand in was the norm in 1.0. Watch the 1.0 version of the Garuda or Iffy fights and you'll see what I mean.
@@fortidogi8620 in 1.0 you had to think carefully on every single action you took. Even taking a single step is carefully considered. It may not look like much is happening. But these fights are all incredibly tense with death just a minor mistake away.

Ah... so many deaths in Aurum Vale. Having to run from safe corner to safe corner because the fruits, which needed to be consumed at all times, didn’t last long. They eventually cut a bit of the dungeon map as it no longer had a purpose. The Miser, Coinpurse, really tough bosses so early in the game. Even today this dungeon can get messy! So I don’t miss the 1.0 version at all. 😅 Thanks for the nostalgia.

I like the strategy in using the right skills at the right time, yes the gameplay is slower than the ARR since one which modern ff14 will have : the sparkling and unique look this old version had, i used to love turn based games in general and i forgot about it gradualy with modern games fast pacing which saddens me at times. Of course i like modern ff14 still but at times i want to be able to chill for a bit without having to run everywhere in a dungeon all the time. I do feel disconnected more from modern ff14 lately. It isn't like it used to be and in any servers cannot be in a major city without being spammed in chat with RP/ERP ads which is making me cringe. A game to me isn't a dating simulator!

For some of us it was such a huge disappointment. I forked over the cash for the collector's edition. During play my game crashed and I couldn't log in. I had an error that seemed to affect my account. Despite numerous messages with their CS (which was awful) SE told me my account was not recoverable. They offered me a free copy of the game but refused to give me my in game collector's edition items back. I was so mad I didn't touch FFXIV after that until Heavensward came out.
@@Akihito_Kanbara I hate how most of these people talk shit about 1.0 when they probably haven't even tried it for themselves, but instead just assume "1.0 bad lul" because of channels like Speakers Network. I honestly miss 1.0, and am glad there is a dedicated group trying to revive it from the ashes.
I didn't realize that the music playing in Stone Vigil Hard and Brayflox's Longstop Hard in 2.0 came from Aurum Vale in 1.0. One of my favorite music tracks! ^_^
As someone who never played 1.0, what are some of the details of the strats they're using and why was it hard? Even when watching this, it's tough to get a feel for it because I have no idea how the system worked back then lol
This was not a rookie dungeon in 1.0. It was an endgame raid. The best gear in the game dropped in these dungeons. Baatral the final boss of darkhold was originally the hardest fight in the game.
I really wish I had a chance to try this for myself, since I only started when ARR was already well under way when I truly started (The patch after Rogues/Ninjas). People always say the game is bad, but I'm hesitant to call it that if I never experienced it for myself. Oh well, it's neither here nor there. Thanks for the upload, even though it is an old video.
Yoshi-P wouldn‘t have had it nuked if it wasn‘t bad. I think you lot like to look at this with rose-colored glasses. Remember, 1.0 was a financial loss for SE. I personally know people who quit 1.0 because it was that bad... and they were Final Fantasy fans. One of them came back to ARR and he said it was loads better.
@@markb1170 All I said was I'm sad I missed my chance to try 1.x for myself to see just how awful it was. Never made any indication that I think it's better than ARR or even good in the first place... But sure, I'm wearing rose-tinted glasses if you say so.
@@Itsdaninerd Don't listen to him your point is perfectly valid. To me, the game LOOKS like it could be pretty fun. I don't see anything that immediately strikes me as terrible. Also, clearly there's 8 people in this video having a good time. It may be a terrible game and boring to play, but without being able to play it yourself who knows? I respect that you withhold judgement on the gameplay until you play it yourself, it's fair of you. Also a good point to make is a game being financially a failure doesn't necessitate that the game itself was bad or not fun. Shenmue and Earthbound are some great examples of games that are amazing, but didn't sell well and financially were failures. A game that appeals to the lowest common denominator may have mass appeal and commercial success, but it may also be a shitty game as it's bland, uncreative, and average. I'm not trying to say FF14 1.0 is a niche hidden gem that was great but not well-received by the masses, just stating its financial failure in itself is NOT evidence the game was bad. No, actual evidence would've been the glitches and poor system optimization which made it unplayable for most. However, once those were fixed (as they were in subsequent patches) how does the actual game, its concept, and its execution play out? Anyway, I just wanted to say FF14 1.0 does deserve a chance just like any other game. I don't assume games are great or terrible based on what others SAY, but what I SEE and what I EXPERIENCE when I play the game.
A lot of the bits of this are super interesting to me, and it's a shame the current game doesn't have them. I'd almost say that if FFXIV 1.0 would have came out on the hardware we have today, it probably would have fared much better.
Kind of wish we could have a 1.0 UI style option; not the same interface but just the elements themed as they were, like the HP and MP gauges, the fonts, etc.
I never remembered doing any instanced dungeons during 1.0, played on launch up to lvl43 or something but all we did was group grind world mobs... was this released later??
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.
youre playing a game in which you can play as a neko, an elf, a shrek, or a gnome child, that can sit atop a giant tortoise that can fly by spinning along aether in the atmosphere like a mystical beyblade. who cares about realism. also schlide casting is slick.
FFXIV 1.0 inherited the slow pace of FFXI. 1.0 makes more sense than 2.0+ to me. I can't understand the success of the actual XIV. Even tho i tried it at high level multiple times.
@@xxomnicloudxx Because in an MMO with combat like this it leads to long periods of doing literally nothing except waiting for something to become available ages later, which leads to bad and boring gameplay when you're supposed to be in an "exciting battle scenario".
AV was an 8 man?! wow. This has serious XI vibes, which I loved, but XIV needed it's own identity and it has so much more to offer (sadly) than XI. I'm glad Yoshi P took it in the right direction.
1.23 was legitimately becoming a great old-school MMO but it never would have reached a mass audience. I loved XI and would love to see another game like it.
Yeah, it's a shame they couldn't have kept it like this, and just continued to build upon it, like they were doing once a change in Directors happened. I'd say it was coming to a fair balance of FFXI and what we have now, in FF14(okay not NOW, because so much has been stripped from this game as of late, that they need to keep pushing out content to keep the interest up).
It's weird how mages didn't use their staffs in their casting animations. I guess it helped cut down on the number of animations devs needed to make for every class. 2.0 was similar since characters could use abilities and spells from other jobs they leveled up, but the animations at least had them hold their weapons.
Ffxiv is one of my favorite games, but i prefer this 1.0 type of game experience (if the code was fixed). Seems more immersive and impactful. Id like to imagine all of ffxiv story done in 1.0 produced way, epic.
Yep that was in there too and it had many of the same bosses. Difference being was that the All-Seeing Eye wasn't a boss, but it still harassed you throughout the stage and you couldn't target or fight it.
FavianTube I feel like the animation is a big problem. The characters look like they're not involved in the fighting. In combat, the mages don't even have their weapons drawn and the tank doesn't looks like he's actually under attack. IMO, it robs the game of any sense of excitement or immersion. The characters look bored. As for the gameplay, I haven't played it so I wouldn't know about how it worked specifically but then again if I was looking for a game to play and this was the gameplay I found, I wouldn't be interested at all.
ff11 was a steaming pile of shit. the worst big MMO ever created. 1.0 looks like absolute casual shit, everything is slow, you can just walk around mobs without them attacking you... what a piece of shit game it was.
Low key wish they could do something like this again. Like ik alot of people hates this style of combat but if they could do something like this for FFXI tho...
Wait a minute. That background music when you just walk around in dungeon already existed in 1.0? I was quite sure that all music in a game was remade for ARR and later.
These dungeons were raids. All endgame dungeons were raids in 1.0. There was only one leveling dungeon in 1.0 annd that was totorak which was only 4 player. But because they never implemented level synch into 1.0 and there were other faster ways to level they decided against adding anymore. In 1.0 they experimented with many different styles of dungeons to see what people enjoyed the most for ARR. What they landed on was a more casual version of the endgame raid dungeons.
@@markb1170 think the problem with the two 8 man dungeons we got is A) all the cut scenes you are forced to watch and B) they were made back in 2.0 when the team was still learning how to make decent dungeons. I think if they made a new one it could be much better then castrum and preatorium.
I would even be happy with 5-man groups for dungeons ^^ The old 1 tankm 1 heal and 2 DPS but with the additionof 1 supporter ^^ I would really like it if there is a support category for the jobs where you can find time mage or green mage :) They buff the party for enhanched DMG and defence while their damage isn't that high, maybe even lower then healers.
@@MegaErik1990 well... bard and dancer are the classes that are the most dedicated to buffing, and most classes have SOME sort of buff/things they can use to help out

I can't understand the success of the actual XIV. Even tho i tried it at high level multiple times.
@@ksiazykgregoire767 Slow pace isn't great for an MMO, especially one released after motherfuckin' World of Warcraft
@@BlueThe1upwhy isn't it good? Because you have the attention span of a fly?
@@xxomnicloudxx Because in an MMO with combat like this it leads to long periods of doing literally nothing except waiting for something to become available ages later, which leads to bad and boring gameplay when you're supposed to be in an "exciting battle scenario".
i wan to play this game again
AV was an 8 man?! wow. This has serious XI vibes, which I loved, but XIV needed it's own identity and it has so much more to offer (sadly) than XI. I'm glad Yoshi P took it in the right direction.
I really wish they bring back 1.0
I'm sad I never got to try this version. Looks so good reminds me of a updated ff11 compared to what we got today
1.23 was legitimately becoming a great old-school MMO but it never would have reached a mass audience. I loved XI and would love to see another game like it.
@@nukfauxsho 1.23 tho as just as good. And it was very FFXI
Yeah, it's a shame they couldn't have kept it like this, and just continued to build upon it, like they were doing once a change in Directors happened. I'd say it was coming to a fair balance of FFXI and what we have now, in FF14(okay not NOW, because so much has been stripped from this game as of late, that they need to keep pushing out content to keep the interest up).
What a nightmare
It looks so ancient
9:59 Imperials in Aurum Vale? Did the dungeon have a different story in 1.0?
It's weird how mages didn't use their staffs in their casting animations. I guess it helped cut down on the number of animations devs needed to make for every class. 2.0 was similar since characters could use abilities and spells from other jobs they leveled up, but the animations at least had them hold their weapons.
They could buy mp regenerated faster with it sheathed
this game was threatening. gave you a sense of danger and shit gets real pretty quick. i miss that
Ffxiv is one of my favorite games, but i prefer this 1.0 type of game experience (if the code was fixed). Seems more immersive and impactful. Id like to imagine all of ffxiv story done in 1.0 produced way, epic.
never seen footage of 1.0 and it was actually ff 11 just updated graphics
yep it was pretty cool
THE MOVEMENT THOUGH
was Dzaemal Darkhold along for the ride back then? a lot of the halls look familiar along with those round blue lock things
Yep that was in there too and it had many of the same bosses. Difference being was that the All-Seeing Eye wasn't a boss, but it still harassed you throughout the stage and you couldn't target or fight it.
Funny enough I never hated 2.0 Arum Vale, and I am glad I never complained HAHAHAAHA
Me eyes hurt so bad
did they split this into aurum and dzemael darkhold in 2.0?
when youtube sends you here in 2024...dungeon looks so different than today
I totally get why they changed it lol
Emperor of Cartoons each his/her own.
+Milan Oodiah elaborate, why?
FavianTube I feel like the animation is a big problem. The characters look like they're not involved in the fighting. In combat, the mages don't even have their weapons drawn and the tank doesn't looks like he's actually under attack. IMO, it robs the game of any sense of excitement or immersion. The characters look bored. As for the gameplay, I haven't played it so I wouldn't know about how it worked specifically but then again if I was looking for a game to play and this was the gameplay I found, I wouldn't be interested at all.
Oh let me just throw a water sounding spell on you to heal you... for the entire dungeon. Ugh how boring.
ff11 was a steaming pile of shit. the worst big MMO ever created. 1.0 looks like absolute casual shit, everything is slow, you can just walk around mobs without them attacking you... what a piece of shit game it was.
Did you know you were recording history when you made this?

Nice music!
Low key wish they could do something like this again. Like ik alot of people hates this style of combat but if they could do something like this for FFXI tho...
Wait a minute. That background music when you just walk around in dungeon already existed in 1.0? I was quite sure that all music in a game was remade for ARR and later.
This was the music for _every_ dungeon in 1.0
Meanwhile when I was farming my NIN Zodiac a few years ago, I was frustrated cuz I couldn't get a run under 45 sec.. 0:47's over and over..
so how many people can enter a dungeon back then ? I see 7 people
These dungeons were raids. All endgame dungeons were raids in 1.0. There was only one leveling dungeon in 1.0 annd that was totorak which was only 4 player. But because they never implemented level synch into 1.0 and there were other faster ways to level they decided against adding anymore. In 1.0 they experimented with many different styles of dungeons to see what people enjoyed the most for ARR. What they landed on was a more casual version of the endgame raid dungeons.
There was content beyond the lv9 MSQ? When I played 1.0 Lv9 was all I could reach.
Up to Lvl 50. MSQ was originally meant to go up to Lvl 56 for Classes but was scrapped when they started to implement Jobs.
wow I wish dungeons had 8 man party's in 2.0 though would make them more interesting I think
Lol Praetorium is an 8-man party in 2.0 and even now people just slog through it because they need poetics or are just leveling alts.
@@markb1170 think the problem with the two 8 man dungeons we got is A) all the cut scenes you are forced to watch and B) they were made back in 2.0 when the team was still learning how to make decent dungeons. I think if they made a new one it could be much better then castrum and preatorium.
I would even be happy with 5-man groups for dungeons ^^ The old 1 tankm 1 heal and 2 DPS but with the additionof 1 supporter ^^
I would really like it if there is a support category for the jobs where you can find time mage or green mage :) They buff the party for enhanched DMG and defence while their damage isn't that high, maybe even lower then healers.
@@MegaErik1990 well... bard and dancer are the classes that are the most dedicated to buffing, and most classes have SOME sort of buff/things they can use to help out
@@miri5373 I know, I know...
That's why this never would happen ^^ But it would be cool :D
this is very interesting ngl
hearing about 1.0 sounds fascinating but tbh glad about the current ff14
Are the other players bots? They seem so disciplined and organized and don't jump around like idiots on Crack and running into Aoes on purpose to see if they can run out at the last second to be like "brooooo didja see dat?!"
no those were players. Amazing huh?
Dungeons in 1.0 were raids. 8 players and you needed to know what you were doing. These are not pick up groups.
Jumping simply wasn't a thing in 1.0
At least the music was awesome
Wow, 1,0's UI looks so weird...
you should have seen it before Yoshi P got there
@@jslaughter95 It was certainly an experience lol
UI at launch was unplayable haha
The UI was literally able to crash lol no idea why they made everything server-side. Even inventory was server-side.
What? 7 players for one dungeon? Man I wish I played a little of 1.0.
I'ts a full party... so 8 players
We could make a party with 16 players but then they changed it to 8.
1.0 Aurum Vale was 8 player?
coin counter was OP in here, now hes way easier since they tonned down his AOE.
He's even easier now because they added AoE markers to his attacks
its a dungeon boss, who cares xD
UI exposes og ff11 player 😂😂
Wait, it was an 8man dungeon?
Oh my God what is this route???
this is like hell inside another hell
Lmao
Definitely not a game for you. Now go back to play hello kitty 14
