The Vagrant Map Project

I also agree. Comics Sans is just . . . no. Don't do it.

I also agree, and so does Achewood: Achewood

But minor gripes aside, this looks really nice. I'll be interested to see the finished product, especially in the case of the more complex zones with one-ways etc., and where the original maps were so ambiguous they were kinda useless.

[Thistle]

I guess I'm odd, I like the old versions better. It's a map, it doesn't need to be colorful* (especially those colors). Doesn't need some fancy font, either.

(*Yeah, some RL maps might need to be colorful to display different sorts of information, but FFXI maps don't.)

[Tekki]

Great effort, would love to see this completed

[Dalrath]

I had an idea like this once. It involved readability. Nice try though.

[NeoForte]

I like it but I would have used more earthy colors than the bright ones he choose for it.

[Malacite]

Wow, color me impressed.

Seriously nice work and so much more pleasant to look at.

[amentis]

Looking good so far!

Except the comic sans.
Comic sans is the most evil of fonts, one that should not exist. Ever.
But besides that you're good!

[Lordwafik]

What's wrong with the font? OH JESUS CHRIST IT'S SPREADING!

[Skeelo]

i think it looks pretty neat. but yea i agree with xanthe just need to list what quest the ???'s are for and you have my vote. I'm heavily dependant on these since i hate looking <pos> up of everything. Looks sexy though.

JESUS CHRIST IT'S A COMIC SANS GET IN THE CAR :3

[Sonomaa]

yeah, its nice except for the comic sans

[Elesar]

I like it a lot, it's very colorful Now if we can somehow place important NPC positions and exp camps on the maps it would be perfect!

Edit: I always wished there was a way that you could get a map on your radar so you wouldn't have to constantly open your menu or load your ApRadar program

I'm so Startled

I don't know. Call me weird, but I don't really like them because they just don't seem like they'd fit into the world of Vana'diel. The old maps, they look kinda tattered and old. They seem to fit the style of the game. It's the same with a lot of .dats people swap, they don't look like they could fit into the game. I'm not a RP fanatic, but I do like some measure of reality. These maps just look too modern to me.

Also, Comic Sans eww.

Call me weird

this you?

[Aksannyi]

lol, no. How did I miss that thread?

[Fng]

So they added color / NM locations and took away the important info of where/which ??? do I need for (insert quest here)...


Needs info of what each ??? is used for.

[Enedin]

From my point of view, it looks too colorful and cheery. The font is too childish, and same goes for the colours really. It's a good idea of coloring the map, but don't use screaming colors like the one your used for Ronfaure.

[Sylvrdragon]

There is also the matter of the NM names listed on the side... Good idea, but White Text against a light colored background makes me wanna kill.... well... everything.

[BRP]

I think I might be missing the point. I suppose people want less detailed maps(or maybe just brighter/colorful/neon). I see map key being more organized than what FFXI atlas put out, but that's easily changed without redrawing the maps. The labeling is unreadable at times and subtly, for example floor level being expressed, is completely gone in the new maps. Also colors are bit funky, which I guess could be a good thing right? I might be biased into ye olde look.

Also Southern San d'Oria looks likes a spooky ghost face, now you can't unsee.

EDIT: hahaha comic sans.

EDIT 2: All in all, pretty terrible.
