Also Nail of the Heavens was added back in as part of the Blue Mage content and is purchasable for Hunt Currency from the Blue Mage vendor once you finish the level 60 Blue Mage questline.
Possible reason behind the musketeer being replaced with Machinist... Machinist starts at 30, when the base class usually evolves, and if I'm remembering right one of the early quests involving it mentions Limsa and possibly the musketeers' guild itself. Maybe they finally cut it when it was decided to have the new Heavensward classes start at 30 instead of 1? It would explain why they bothered to up the firearm theme of the tower in ARR.
Super late but I wanted to say I like the theory. I was thinking it was a shame we never got the Musketeer, but given we have what was likely its job upgrade anyway, we really lost very little.
The Musketeers were repurposed into the Machinists (which was going to be the job crystal for the base class Musketeer anyway) and what was originally going to be their class quests were completely removed; but the 30 to 50 Machinist job quests were kept, swapping out NPCs with new ones to tie it into the new Ishgard content. I think this was done for two reasons; reason one, they simply didn't have enough time or resources to add musketeers to ARR when it was in development, so it was postponed because they decided to prioritise adding Rogue/Ninja. Reason two, by the time they were working on Heavensward, the designers had decided to no longer add anymore classes to the game, but instead add level restricted jobs, making it easier for existing and future players to level jobs to max level rather than having to grind up though low level content again. So along with the two new jobs of Dark Knight and Astrologian, they tacked Musketeer onto the new Ishgard content.
For your question about the fish tanks, they are still there, if you lower your music for limsa, you can hear the sound of water tanks running. Thanks for this series btw, I inspire to check new things out I didn't know as I did not play 1.0 due to being engrossed with Wow at the time. A pity because I love FF series but never got into MMO until 2.0.
BTW simply boarding it up was enough to hide it from impacting performance on the PS3, because unlike the PS4 and PC, the PS3 rendered things differently. On the PS3 Game Engines are not required to communicate to the rendering API what to draw and what not to draw; it just automatically did not render anything that wasn't directly visible on the screen. So boarding up things was enough to increase performance. Problem is, that's not the case on PC or PS4 and PS5, so anything in FFXIV (or any other game for that matter) which was left in but hidden is still using up system resources for no good reason. :S Since DirectX and Gnm(x) are very similar HLSL based rendering firmware, they operate differently to what the PS3 had; They tell the Renderer unless the game engine specifically tells it otherwise, to render based on proximity to what is shown on the screen in the render window by draw distance by default, the only thing the game engine FFXIV does as far as telling the firmware what to render is simply the required values for what to render within that draw distance and the extent of the draw distance, no fancy performance cutting features added like we see in Unreal Engine, unfortunately. imo since PS3 support was dropped with Stormblood, they should just patch the Fishtank back in imo (along with all the other stuff that was just boarded up).
If it wasn't for the fact that Ul'dah is in constant shit and Limsa Lominsa seems the most stable I'd be in Maelstorm as well. But man I feel like Ul'dah needs all the help it can get.
Don't forget Merlwyb being a badass and giving the best speech and best girl Y'shtola being the scion you meet if you start in Lominsa. How can the other cities ever compete?
thanks to ps3 was that I knew the game and I'm still playing it on ps4, they did everything possible to be playable on that console and so get more people, it would be interesting to see how many people there on pc and ps4. Saludos.
Also worth noting: In the Japanese version, the Musketeer class is called "Guncaster" due to Machinist, while very close to the style, has no connection to the post, it is most likely 'gunblade' job that might come in 5.0 yet not known to be accurate yet.
I noticed right away the fish tank was missing when we got access to LL in ARR finally. I also stumbled upon my favourite crafting bridge in 1.0 being completely gone, the one leading the cul guild to the musketeer's guild. I used to craft on that bridge a lot back then, had a lousy pc that couldn't handle lots of ppl so I'd pick the most remote spots possible to craft. You really make me nostalgic for 1.0. I have to add that your opening for this episode was sad for me. I miss 1.0.
Limsa is my original starter city, my new characters get this as their Home Point as soon as possible (not _just_ bc of Vesper Bay) but I just love the aesthetic of it all, big open sky, vast sea, clearer lines of sight than the Shroud or Thanalan have in the early game & I had an absolute blast picking a point on the horizon & just booking it. Wish I'd thought to get far enough in MSQ to get a chocobo first, but what can you do. That & I love the Ocean Fishing task, even if I have no idea what to do with all these fish now, I feel bad for my retainers lol.
10:23 I can confirm by putting the camera oob that there are no longer any fish in there, nor is there water. However, the coral on the sides of the aquarium wall still exists.
@@SpeakersNetwork Darn, that's really disappointing. Well, thank you for all your hard work on these, they are immensely entertaining. Hopefully they do add it soon! (Crossing my fingers!)
Limsa lominsa and nym have always fascinated me, though gridania is my fav city state (big zelda fan i love forests) LL and nym has an ireland/ New england type vibe. In 1.0 i was debating on playing a marauder, as my last name in gaelic does translate to marauder. My family on my mom side is a mix of irish and french Canada hailing from nova scotia. (my close ancestor was my great grany who was born and raised in Digby. she moved to the states during a flu outbreak, and came over with a baby) nova scotia also has a bit of a celtic vibe as well. And Digby (having just looked it up) has a popular fishing area and a motorcycle rally called the wharf rat rally. (sound familiar XD) I currently play marauder/warrior in ff14 (because of scythe glam) but i very much enjoy the job, enjoy its lore both in the marauders story (both 1.0/2.0) and the warrior story. And merlwyb is my fav ff14 character, she is still a pirate at heart, but loves her people. She took no pride in the kobold war, but she isn't gonna just lay down either. Idk im just always drawn to LL and marauder. Nym too which has cool clockwork vibe to it. I hope we start to learn more about nym, amdapor and other areas. It feels like we just barely scratched the lore surface.
Hell Yeah , La Noscea battle theme was absolutely fantastic! I'm unfortunately didn't played ARR for a long time, was this Track even added to game with newer expansions ?
12:50 I personally prefer the yellow lights of 1.0. There were supposedly candles and not light bulb.... ^^' That make sense at 100% that it was "yellowish". The ARR lights look as if it was electric light. Not really immersive... But i agree on the fact that 1.0 was too dark. But it didn't have to be whiter to be brighter. >.< I think in ARR we lost a lot of immersion for the sake of gameplay (and the PS3...). Sometimes for a better, i have to admit. But not always. In a mmoRPG, i prefer immersion over gameplay but from a marketing point of view and just looking at how the game became so popular after ARR, they definitly made the good choices to please to the many.
Interesting that the Musketeer guild was made even more prominent in ARR, yet never released as an actual class but released Machinist in Ishgard instead. I wonder if they'll ever make it a playable class?
So I guess Musketeer got the Axe from ARR too, Limsa Clearly Axed the Guild in Half to Share with the Marauders. I assume that Yoshi P decided it wasnt worth implementing as it didnt have enough to make it unquie, deciding to just give us its job upgrade in HW. Kinda upsetting thought maybe dealing with Rouge was the culprit who knows maybe they intended on releasing them around that same time, but decided against it as one more dps tipped the matchmaking enough already.
Right, after rewatching this I have to ask... where the hell do the Lominsans actually live? Like, you've got the Northern Isles for the upper classes (which no longer exists) but there doesn't appear to be any spot for houses for the commonfolk and for no-one in ARR. xD
I mean, I started on Arcanist and my server didn't used to have a lot of RP going on...mostly just late at night...now it's all the time. Can we apply for asylum through SE to escape excessive RP and get a free server transfer?
You can't play 1.0 (officially at least and even if private servers exist theres not much to do there) since that version was heavily criticized and failed, so they revised the main quest to include a "end of the world" calamity (the arr trailer) and remake the game for 2.0, which happens 5 years after in game. This is all aknowledged by the npcs and lore and the Coils Of Bahamut raid series kinda give a closure to it. We will never know the orginal plans for FFXIV legacy's expansion and story as they changed the teams pretty early as they realized their mistake. When asked about a "classic" 1.0 server, YoshiP just laughs and gives a short "no", so we will likely never be able to play that version again. Probably for the better :p
speaking as a piss light liker i prefer the old coloring because it makes the drowning wench look warm, in arr its all cold and sterile looking. i guess that's the point because maritine settings ARE cold but damn it sure is unpleasent. ill stick to the trees of gridania thank you.
A complete 360, we need to turn this shit around! And back around again people! I want it to look and feel different but completely stay the same. Lmao 🤣😝
I'm curious, does anyone know why the rp servers prefer Ul'dah? It's really the lamest city, and I wouldn't rp there if it weren't for the fact that the other cities are dead as fuck rp wise
Pretty funny how the main villains of FF14 are villains because they're murderous imperials who try to forcibly take over other lands, and we work in the defense of the Eorzean Alliance who are... Kind of a bunch of murderous imperials who try to forcibly take over other lands.

"I'll board up your fishtanks!" sounds like an old people's threat.

I was about to ask "How can I get this" because hot damn
We need "nail of the heavens" back in FF XIV \0o0/
Yeah, I need this orchestrion roll somethin' fierce.
I believe this has recently been added to the blue mage carnival :D

@@foxdavion6865 you’re so right.
Started my journey in ff14 at the marauder's guild and I've been loyal to limsa ever since. til sea swallows all!

Nail of the Heavens has a really nice pumped up beat. Is it in the game anywhere? Even an orchestrion roll?
Unfortunately not! This track has (as of 4.45) yet to be added to the game. :(

Imagine if Nail of the Heavens became the regular battle theme for Shadowbringers...
Nail of the heavens is such a good name for a battle theme
*Fist raised angrily*
Pe-Es-THREEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
They finally brought back Nail of the Heavens with Blue Mage
Bro that end track got me straight up headbanging in seconds! How did they put that banger of a track down as an overworld battle theme?
Hell Yeah , La Noscea battle theme was absolutely fantastic! I'm unfortunately didn't played ARR for a long time, was this Track even added to game with newer expansions ?
