Didn't think they'd actually do a FF14 Classic. Even if it's a mobile game. I can't imagine how it would play with touch controls.

I think a "FFXIV Classic" would be 1.0...no one wants that.

I wish it was "Classic", but it's 2.0 which is still very much playable. I would have really loved if it was 1.0 using the modern gameplay I would be all over it. I was there, I miss it. I think some day they'll find a way to bring it back as a playable scenario similar to the Voids and Campaigns in FFXI, but this isn't it.

As much as I enjoy ARR and up, I've always wished it hadn't completely abandoned as much of what 1.0 was about as it has and instead just fixed the technical issues and the overly clunky UI and gameplay.
A 1.0 on the current engine and everything, with a few tweaks,
but without making it such a heavily solo-focused,
non-social,
better get out of your party lol bro we're doing instanced stuff haha,
literally no reason to team up outside of dungeons and stuff which has matchmaking with randoms anyway and also has been replaced by even more solo-friendly NPC-supported dungeons,
guided tour with other people as background noise,
WoW-like, streamlined experience would actually be really cool.

I really do like current FF14 a lot but man do I wish it was more of an actual, you know, massively multiplayer game. Where you actually interact with, work together with (and maybe against, at times) and talk to other players in your moment-to-moment gameplay instead of just saying 'hi' and 'gg' to randoms after matchmaking or occasionally when sitting around doing nothing in Limsa or Gridania.
