As glad as I am to have the current FFXIV, there are some things that I will always wish could have been transferred over to ARR. The open environments, the style of the cutscenes, and just the way some things looked. I understand why this happened of course. Budget constraints, performance optimization. All that stuff that game devs have to deal with behind the scenes. But man it would've been cool
FF11: DBZ teleporting noises FF14 1.0: That one sports movie song where everything moves in slow motion starts playing. FF14 2.0: Wait I didn't mean to land ther- *dead again* FF14 3.0: Jumping? What's this "jumping" about, I'm too busy watching my bars. FF14 4.0: boingy boingy boingy boingy FF14 5.0: 2 gap closers, animation lock mostly gone, elusive jump, I AM SPEED! *backflips out of one aoe as another spawns in their landing zone*
@@chikato7106 Nah it really did deserve it. Landscape was cool, graphics were cool (but completely unoptimized), but that's about all that was "good" about 1.0, you really don't want to go back to a game without a jump button, with fatigue that literraly encouraged you to NOT play in order to progress, and other kinds of bullshit. These videos just don't let you see the mess that 1.0 was.
This is a fascinating time portal =o I’ve been a DRG main in both games but didn’t play much of FFXIV pre-ARR because my pc sucked, so this is real cool to see!
To make matters worse, these little dudes didn't even aggro you. There was an area outside Limsa where they all gathered. There were about two dozen of them. And they'd follow you. They'd hop after you and just want to go where you went. I have a screenshot somewhere of a sheep parade behind me.
Owning the collectors edition for my wife and I on launch of FFXIV, it’s really come along ways with A Realm Reborn and the expansions that followed suite. We first met on FFXI back in 2003, and it’s great to see both games are still thriving.
@@Symphiney I'm not the video maker but I did come from FF11 to the alpha/beta of FF14 and have been playing ever since, with my legacy sub fees and my name in the credits. I sure do miss 1.XX FF14 though, the graphics and animations STILL looked better :(
@@JoelWhoKillz How do you deal with every single Job being locked to one way of playing and having 0 diversity. Every Paladin you meet is a tank, every Dragoon is a DD, every X is a Y.
@@JoelWhoKillz I mean, compared to the extreme playability and diversity of FF11? The only way they tried to make it diverse was through Class skills/spells being able to be used on your Job, but even then, that ended up failing miserably. (Like some of us could tell from the get-go and no I'm not just saying this, I literally called this right after unlocking Dragoon during launch)
They should bring back the animation they used for the return-jump here in 1.x after the hit, much cooler than the one they have for 2.x. Very happy about the speed increase though with 2.1.
PainInMyBones FFXI you had to dedicate a lifetime to ... FFXIV you can actually keep your day job and still get to end game content within a reasonable time frame.
hell yeah it does, and i'll explain exactly why: ffxi the dude looks effortless and a badass as he's hitting and RETURNING to his original position. the frail, weak, headass struggle of a backflip the dude in ffxiv does afterwards is lame
Still being recommended, in the year of our lord Bahamut 2024. Thank you for your service comparing this vital element of the games, and may your light shine on o7
In the day played Final Fantasy XI on the Shiva server and had plenty of jobs to max level towards the end I stopped playing it. I knew someone on the server who played as a Dragoon and their name was 'Terranova'. While I was leveling up they would help me out when I needed it and would power level me as well. One day they stop logging in. My favorite thing to do was playing as Thief and pulling a goblin to the AFK fishing bots then use the hide ability. The goblin would then start attacking the AFK fishing bots and end up killing them.
FF XI wins this hands down. I love FF14 but the combat just doesn’t sound as visceral. Hits just don’t have as much weight as they did in 11 or hell even FF 14 1.0
The saddest part is those sheep were friendly. They used to jump and down, excitedly, and follow you. They never attacked. At one point, a friend and I had a whole parade of them behind us.
Yep.. I might venture back to XI one more time or so, but I'm dreading what I'll find in terms of no low-mid level players and everyone XP whoring in Abyssea areas. I let myself get into abyssea for a while... yea it's cool having high level, but you miss out on everything that used to come in between... really not worth missing the entire game just for sake of high level. High level... great, now what to do? The progression used to be the experience, not anymore. Sad.
Yeah - I agree, the juimp should be ALOT quicker in my opinion - especially when it was used like i done, to grab NMs!!! The animation effect is stunning none the less, but the jump is almost in slow motion given no real "umph" effect.
I played but the game has zero direction and the guide isn't really for beginners, more for veterans who want a headstart. The most I got was I was meant to find a tanner or something? Then got lost for an hour, found some enemies, got 1 shot and called it a day.
@@IndigoOverdrive Nah it's not for veterans. Most people started playing it and had zero clue what to do. The game was designed for people to work together. So you had to be social and ask people and group up with them to figure it all out.
All these years later and I get a little sad thinking about ffxi dragoon. I lost count of how many times I lost my pet to a damn dot I couldn't stop lol. 90% of my party time was spent without him. I heard they fixed that in later expansions but eh, too little too late SE.
I should probably update this to include the post-ARR Jump.
You mean "jumps"? :p
Yip
Just put Stardiver lol
I mean you got Jump, High jump, Dragonfire dive, Spine shatter dive, Stardiver, elusive jump...we jump a lot.
If by "jump" you mean yeeting yourself off of a platform then yes
Anyone here in 2020 due the the algorithm, look how far we have come

It’s a job with a special fighting style...have you played a final fantasy game before?
Now do one with the current dragoon, but it's just backfliping off Titan's arena (I am guilty of doing this plenty of times)
Had a dragoon and bard do that in titan normal the other day. It was a slow slap fight for me and the tank lmao
It is a dragoons right of passage. You learn 15 yalms real freaking quick after that LOL
Saw a "How did I die?" Bingo card for FFXIV, one of the squares had the Evasive Jump icon with "Oops" and I felt it in my bones.
i've never played xi
i didn't play xiv 1.0
i don't even play dragoon

Historically inaccurate, one of those Dragoons isn't dying with every jump.

In FFXI "Super Jump" saved myself many a time.
THE SHEEP D:
Thanks to the UA-cam algorithm I was recommended this in 2024 insane how far the game has come happy dawntrail launch week everyone
I definitely was not expecting to see 14 1.0 here lmao. tripped out for a solid second
This was made several days after the Final Fantasy lore jobs were added to 1.0. I was still active in XI at the time, too.
They should bring back the animation they used for the return-jump here in 1.x after the hit, much cooler than the one they have for 2.x. Very happy about the speed increase though with 2.1.
I remember this was my favorite class in final fantsy tactics. Crazy how far these games have come.
i honestly like the ffxi better
No you don't.

+Huskerdude 2791 (Griff) and ff14 isn't even a game anymore, it's just a dps parser/gratification simulator
i bet you can't DPS good thats why youre going boo hooo hooo here

XI jump feels like a cannon
XIV jump feels like a missile
Seven years later. It's like a tank shell and a mortar.
wow 2.1 really did reduce the cast time on jump. i forgot how long it used to be
It wasn't as bad as it appears here in 2.0. This is the old 1.0 version.
Copain Did you actually read his comment?
and now i want to play FFXI again, thanks
You’re welcome.
@ Lonesandstorm yeah the game has been great since patch, been around since 1.7 and it keeps getting better slowly.
I'd like to see the current version in as well, for further comparison.
8years huh, aight. I'm here for it
....those sheep deserve JUSTICE!

Splendid
Oh god, those 1.0 sound effects.
Wait, is that FFXIV 1.0!? This is gold to me
This is 1.0 yes. It was right after they added the traditional Final Fantasy jobs. Some don't realize we didn't have those right away.

Oh god the animation lock for old xiv drg...

They were only able to make it look that nice by cutting corners with the actual design and copypasting everything
That XIV 1.0 graphics are crazy... the grass, the bushes, the sheep...
It goes by your already existing level, but you have to unlock the skills related to that job via quests.
LOL!

This video really shows a dragoon’s hate of sheep, but not his suicidal tendencies. Not one back flipped off a cliff.
How did I get here? This video is 8 years old?
I thought this was about the current DRG (2021)
I miss the FFXI jumps. That was particularly Spirit Jump or whatever, rather than normal Jump, but oh well.

8yrs sounds about right for that jump to land, sheesh.
if you look really closely, Jump in 1.0 FFXIV had the additional effect of temporarily growing grass
It was later removed due to FF14 players not touching grass often
Here in 2023 and ready for the next expansion of FFXIV that’s likely FFXI themed 😊
better be as hard as FFXI to weed out the cringo's

I still think about this sometimes. Sigh.
Who has more jumps FFXI or FFXIV?
(I haven't played XIV yet, so that's why i'm asking)
