Walk of Echoes

[Spira]

i figured it out!

Chocobo soccer.

Chocobucks onry.

Fields of Footwork.
where 75 MNKs can go play when they can't get into endgame LS..

..i'd like to see the blood thing.. i never noticed that when i viewed the zone.. then again i also missed the arena entirely on my first visit of the area. Its not that easy to navigate it really..

only the building texture is the same as zvahl i think.. the rest is all quite unique.. the tile texture and of course the floating thing and stuff..

but if we were to say that designers build new zones using elements of old ones..
its probably Zvahl wall texture, avatar cloister back drop and a bit of riverne layout tossed together

[Mortama]

Even i havent seen the river of blood, I feel like we are being led down a long road lol.

Plus theres no blood textures in the zone.

I wouldn't make this up seriously...

thats really cool sorry about not believing you. ewh doesn't show that lol.

I guess you replaced a zone?

pXI since it renders the whole zone though atmospheric effects are missing along with the music.

I even took a look into Glacier [S] and it looks like it has multiple fortifications... of which I counted 3, and a huge Magecite looking gate where the Dynamis Entrance is.

Well that's neat. The fact there's no music may be a good sign they'll add totally new music for it also. I wouldn't really want to listen to any of the existing wotg music looping in some long event there.

Also, in addition to the very NON walk of echos Fort K. soccer field thing, there's some kind of archery range setup in the basement of Citadel. If you pay attention and look around you will see little posters around numerous wotg areas with what looks like an archer on it as well. So it would seem Square might have a cluster of mini-activities planned.

I'll check this out tonight after i'm done horsing around with FoV.

[Spira]

hmmm maybe its just red liquid in rivers? WoE is just a pretty bizarre place anyway..

seeing as how a soccer field and an archery range is kinda out of context in wartime vanadiel, perhaps these 2 will be used for future seasonal event minigames... (altho it would mean only those with WotG could take part)

i know this is a Walk of Echoes thread but any chance of showing the magecite gate thing you mentioned for Beaucedine? i didnt check that zone out

[Starr]

that place is huge, looks promising cus the game's going verrrrry stale

[TummieGaruda]

Here's the Archery area that Gwynplaine mentioned that is in the basement of Garliage Citadel [S] (the area that most ppl exp at around 46-50 in the present)

I don't think it's actually going to be functional because some of the boards are broken and there looks to be wooden fences/queue lines that are broken. I think its just there for looks to add kind of a backstory to Garliage basement being a possible training area before or during the crystal war.

[Spira]

seems like the 4 working ones could still be used for some CS event tho

Seconded, I just figured northlands would look the same heh, so get posting!

It is pretty much the same zone except for the Black Magecite things (The same design/surface as Castle Zhavl) are sticking out of the ground in a lot of places. Not to mention what looks like they will be fortifications (Multiple ones that I have counted). I am at work right now but I'll get some screenshots later tonight. Also, any more requests lol?

[6souls]

Mortama did a short walk through of the zone if anyone is interested;

YouTube - FFXI WOTG: Beaucedine Glacier

[Melios]

The thing I have to wonder is if it's linked to the Cloisters somehow.... (the music track for cutscenes in Walk of Echoes is "Cloister of Time and Souls" in fact)

maybe its similar to Gustaberg? theres like so many towers in Gusta S compared to present Gusta (i think).. like the one at the edge of the cliff near the slope stairway down... and near the campaign NPC...

was wondering if you could do a Zvahl. i never checked out that one cos i was told its the same..

[Gwynplaine]

It's not really magicite-esque. It's just that crappy generic, chunky black obsidian shit all of castle zvahl is made of splattered in spots all over the northlands. Castle is like the same, except is has some cages. Notably ALL the beastmen and allies appear to have cages which implies to me a besieged like prisoner system some day.

[Spira]

perhaps when freelances fighting for a nation die they get captured and sent into the Zvahl galleys lol

[dejet]

wonder if i can fish there. or WoE, but i bet SE will make it like sky no fish.

Umm, last time I checked you could fish in sky. Unless they've patched it, I used to catch moat carp in the lily pad pools.
