FFXI Plot-holes and unclear issues

[Seha]

It's like Superman: wears glasses, no one can tell it's him anymore.

[Spira]

I like that to this day people refer to Koja as a person and not just Naja in sunglasses.

i was actually referring to Koja Zhwan, the former owner of the Liberator..

[Hitou]

lol my bad, I didn't realize there was a real Koja.

[Spira]

I wouldn't blame u. She's not actually in the game

I think there's a plot hole in Warrior's AF1 quest. Phara said Yasin and Raogrimm used to hunt Orcs in Davoi. But at that point in time, Davoi was still La Vaule and under Sandorian control.

[Ophannus]

Wonder if they meant Ghelshba Outpost or something.

[Kyte]

Unless it was said in a flashback, calling a geographical location by its contemporary name isn't really a plot hole per se.

[Seha]

The problem is that orcs weren't in Jugner at all at the time, they were in the northlands.

[Ophannus]

I'm rewatching sch AF and there's so much that doesn't make sense. For one, is the bloodseed grinoire the same as the crimson grimoire that Schultz uses in his fight?

Schultz took the purged bloodseed grimoire and vanished, yet moments later when Nogmolada arrives, the grinoire, schultz and Ulbrecht are on the floor(even though ulbrecht melted into blood or something).

Why did Nogmolada tell Erlene the scholars would be disbanded after the war?

I have a question over the use of the term "Keeper of the Apocalypse" in Chains of Promathia.

It's used a bunch of times, but from what I understand, the term was used for Nag'molada and Nag'molada+incarnation of Promathia, correct? And does the incarnation mean Promathia without absorbing Nag'molada or is it Promathia after he had absorbed him?

Bahamut used the term for both Nag'molada and the wrapped up Promathia, so I'm just trying to keep it straight here since Bahamut said that the "true" keeper was already awake in the Al'taieu which was before any of the characters entered it.

I also have a check about the resurrection because it's stated that the "true" Promathia will arrive after this incarnation kills everyone on Vana'diel to release their emptiness, but wouldn't that vessel be destroyed before the "true" one arrives since Sehl'teus states that the emptiness is more than enough to kill a god. Since the incarnation is dying, wouldn't that mean that the "true" Promathia would still be alive?

I guess this could just be solved by the vessel not absorbing anything, but then why would the presence of the emptiness allow for the "true" one to appear.

[Yuella]

The Keeper is whoever has the most emptiness. Originally it's Prishe. That's why the prophecy says the keeper will be born in Tavnazia. But she had an accident which caused her emptiness to be frozen in magicite.

When Al'teiu lost power and started entering vanadiel through the fifth mothercrystal, promathia found another keeper: the chamber of eventide where kuluus shed their emptiness to become zilarts. That's when Bahamut woke up and started to threaten everyone because the keeper of apocalypse grew near.

[Yuella]

I wonder what happened to the heroes of the crystal war in the present day? Where are Valaineral, Elivira and others? Are they just retired and gone from the world?

And where / who is our world's Joachim?

[Spira]

some of them were swallowed into Diabolos' dreamworld at the battle of Xarcabard, tho i think the 2 you mentioned weren't explicitly part of that group. one would assume neither would haja.. cos the 3 of them have unique face models that didn't exist during RotZ lol. Haja probably went back to Zhwa. i'm guessing the rest might be living out a peaceful existence somewhere as a war veteran.. or dead.

it does seem like we get to know what happens of the freelances more than the generals tho.

[calinz]

So I just had a shower thought.. Has it ever been discussed where are all the vana'diel babies?? I don't recall ever seeing a baby of any of the races. There's young children about, but seriously, how do the inhabitants of Vana'diel reproduce? I know Galka are reborn but what of the other 4 races? I vaguely recall male mithras being so rare that they're held under lock and key on Olzhirya for breeding purposes. What excuse do elvaan, hume, and taru have for not having any babies around?

[Tarage]

In homes you can't enter.

Is there any in-game lore behind Vrtra, and why he's in that tomb?

Is there any in-game lore behind Vrtra, and why he's in that tomb?

No idea if this link will work: http://www.playonline.com/ff11us/gui.../07/index.html

739 - 832
Ranperre R d'Oraguille, the 24th king of San d'Oria, reigned from 782 to 832. Also known as the Dragon King, Ranperre was hailed as the greatest monarch of the d'Oraguille family. He was born the eldest son of the crown prince of West San d'Oria, and diligently studied the arts of war from childhood. Ranperre acceded to the throne after agents of East San d'Oria murdered his father.

After ten years of fighting, the Dragon King subdued the East San d'Orian forces and put an end to the long and bloody civil conflict. He continued to build his legend by expelling the Orcish hordes from Ronfaure, and ridding the kingdom of marauding black dragons.
Rumors still flourish concerning the pact Ranperre supposedly made with a black dragon to protect his expansive tomb.

[Suteru]

I miss the Vana'diel Tribune I wish they'd translate that big book.

[Suteru]

Double post, but I want to ask: (very slight RoV spoilers)

Spoiler: show

Only 2 years has passed in canon since the start of the game?

[Seha]

I guess we're pretty fast workers.
