It was really an awesome experience to see the game evolve OOCly from a mechanics point of view. Seeing them introduce things based on what we wanted to make the game actually fun to play. 1.0 before they shut down was actually a very fun game that had potential on its own. The battle system was very fun with combos and the endgame content was challenging (though still infuriating, as endgame content can be). The fact that the devs kept feeding us amazing story and lore and huge updates that made the game more playable and fun to keep us entertained while they rebuilt it from the ground up made me feel awesome. Go SE!
ICly, it was something epic to experience. It was awesome watching the NPCs react (first appearance of the GM Archon warning us, starting up the Grand Companies, the Lambs of Dalamud cult etc.) and being a part of it all with our characters, seeing Dalamud get closer and more terrifying with every patch.. Dealing with the "end of the world" ICly and such.. hnng.
I love going through journals and seeing how characters dealt with the changes.
While you missed it, and it was indeed really fun, don't kick yourself too much!! ARR is going to have a lot of epicness you'll get to experience too!
