It's not like that part of your brain where you stored a decade of XI/XIV lore is going to be put to better use in your life anyhow.

I could have learned a useful language, but nope, got FFXI's zones all committed to memory instead, don't need no stinkin' map.

[BaneTheBrawler]

i have difficulty remembering major life milestones/events, such as funerals, weddings, and whatnot.


but i can still set up a Light skillchain without consulting my chart

[Karbuncle]

I'm not ashamed to admit i'm in the same boat >_>;

Fixed your post, you missed something out

[Lyall]

None of that shit's canon. We don't want him, either.

[Almalexia]

Coeurlclaw Poachers is just the name of an organization in the South Shroud, Alistaire has the right of it. Why exactly they're called "coeurlclaw" is a little debatable but probably because a coeurl's claws are sharp and dangerous. (Coeurls are an introduced species to Eorzea, and were relatively unknown there until the end of the 6AE, but I can't remember if Coeurlclaws existed before 1.0 relics/Shposhae)

But how does he fuse with Egis?

[Ragnus]

Fusion dance. Duh.

Ahaha...sad(kinda) but true. Maps were either coffers or expensive and not the maps you wanted, so we had to memorize them from a site.

[Silenka]

I had all the maps... it's just that the map overlay sucked horribly. Open, look, close. Open, look, close. Which way was I supposed to turn again?

Worst offenders: Yuhtunga/Yhoator Jungle, Halvung, Arrapago, Waja- know what fuck it, all of the damn Aht Urghan zones. Honorable mention goes to Phomiuna Aqueducts because that place wasn't particularly difficult to navigate, it was just ass.

It's no Yorcia though. Look at how helpful this map is.

Spoiler: show

Let's see, reive blockades with no alternate routes if you don't have the warp points unlocked, and time-of-day based blockades as well that you have to wait out. Not to mention true-sound aggro mobs in spots.

That's probably one of my bigger pet peeves with Adoulin. The zones had no budget for TLC, it was left in a XIV1.0-like state where they built basic tile-sets and just copy-pasted them everywhere with hardly any landmarks or artists chiseling out the geometry so you're not trekking down the same looking path/turn for the sixth time in a different part of the area.



Unrelated: I can't stand when people start 'making up' skill names and shit they want for their jobs or new jobs on the OF. Just say you want a new utility dot or a skill that would actually be practical, christ.

Spoiler: show

No fun allowed.

[Alistaire]

Also chigoes, not true sound but a pain nonetheless.

But how does he fuse with Egis?

The idea of fusing with an Egi is inherently flawed so he's retarded

[Destinye]

It's no Yorcia though.

To be fair though, I loved that it went with the "wilderness/unexplored" feeling, but it sure as hell didn't help navigate from a gameplay perspective lol.

Holy shit I just squinted at that thing for two whole minutes and still have no idea what I'm looking at. My face might stick like this.
Been thinking about resubbing XI, now I got whole new awful maps to look forward to.

[Eldelphia]

Yeah, the Yorcia map is appalling. But then we struggled with the glacier map back in the day. Three of us trying to make it to Xarcabard back then got completely lost

Yep, since for some odd reason a lot of us didn't understand the design of the slopes on the map. That's why I don't mind it from a design perspective, it's a world..even more so in Adoulin areas it's unexplored wilderness, but from a QoL standpoint, it definitely needs the paths marked. I understand getting lost in Yhoatunga, cuz that map is as useless as testicles on a dildo.

[BaneTheBrawler]

that chinese outfit does look nice though

[Patriarch]

Sums up MMOs for me

Fuck content, just want to pay real $$ for cutesy outfits

Late, so not putting much effort into this one; just follow the link and see for yourselves (also if you're up for it, immortalize some of those whiteknighting posts with a quote or screencap).
