The Vagrant Map Project

[hypnotizd]

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

What has been seen cannot be unseen.

[Charismatic]

I can't even unsee it on the original map, fuck you BRP

[vivix]

GDI, its this thread all over again ; ;

[Khalil]

Looks good. Can't wait for it to be completed.

[Tarage]

Looks good. Let me know when it's finished.

[Neosutra]

Not really my style, as I dont like the colorful/childish look of it, but change is always good. Good luck on the project.

There are two fonts in the world I have an irrational hatred of - one is Comic Sans... the other is Times New Roman.

Seriously - I get enough fucking Comic Sans in work (it's got the proper a kids get taught to write in, not many fonts don't) - KEEP IT THE FUCK OUTTA VANADIEL!

The original maps look better than this. The only thing these have over them is that areas of the map are marked as well as points, the former the in-game map marker doesn't let you do, while the latter you can. You still can't mark these maps up any better than you can the originals though, which is where all the problems lie. What I'm seeing here is rather useless, and the artistic value of the original maps looked much better. If s/he finds a way to combine maps for zones that are unnecessarily split into multiple maps (Aydeewa Subterrane and Arrapago Reef come to mind) into one, I'd jump for joy. I understand zones that consist of multiple levels of elevation can't be helped, though.

something i dont like about FFXI is whenever i try to look at the map that fucking bar is always in the way when im trying to pinpoint a location. I dont know if its my resolution cause it does that on PS2 as well. If we could get a map that would put the Alphabetical squares below that thing, Id stop counting from A...B...C..D

and id stop touching my screen when i do.
(i do this) . . . (no lie) . . . (lamda)

[Qeomash]

I know it would be fairly simple to do (do it once, copy the layer to all the other maps), but to label of every square would be wonderful.

[DAKPluto]

Amazing work. I can't wait to see a completed set.

comic... sans? comic sans??? COMIC SANS? COMIC MOTHER FUCKING SANS!?!?

Automatic disqualification.

[Araelus]

Yvonne (PolishTamales on deviantART) has FFXI cartoons, and then a whole bunch of comics about a typesetting instructor who kills people for using Comic Sans.

[miokomioko]

I could sense my instructors soul dying a little each time a student turned in some typography/layout work with Comic Sans in it.

Not trying to be harsh or elitist but... anyone with a single drop of visual creative intuition in them whatsoever knows better than to ever, even for a split second just for laughs, create something with comic sans that isn't pure satire.

[vegetaa]

It's an awesome effort IMO, but maybe the guy should consider working the maps in vectorized form (Photoshop has basic vectors support, but Illustrator would be even better)...I'm pretty sure there are vectorized ffxi maps out there already, to save him time.

Having a set of vector maps would make it easy to move/resize/rotate/zoom on maps...this would make a sexy ApRadar and stuff like that.

Oh and about the font choice...{that's too bad}

"It's not just bad, it's Comic sans!"
Needs to be changed if he's otherwise putting that much effort into the project.
