You want to play 1999? Sure!!! no problem!!! JUST:

-Play 50 required main quests
-Grind materials for said quests
-Go to university and get a degree
-Finally confess your love to that one girl you been hanging out with
-Travel the earth
-Go to the Olympics and get a gold medal
-Grind a ton and level up your equipment (because you have story missions to do)
-Finally read that book you been wanting to read
-Get a job
-Bake a cake
-Go to India and become a monk
-Come back
-Go through the 5 stages of grief over not being able to play 1999 (literally me last night as I was doing a quest I had no interest in doing)
-Uninstall

WHAT I'm trying to say is... Yeah you can't play 1999. IF you kept up with the story, yes. But not if you dropped it a few years back. You'll find yourself looking at a quest guide and realise you just want to play 1999 and not all this other stuff that's required out of you. Advertising made 1999 look self contained, shame!!! But I hope the hardcore fans are enjoying it.
