    FFXI Quiz (In case you're bored)

    Apologies up front if this is in the wrong section; feel free to move it where appropriate.

    Anyway, during what I like to call "Morning Bored Time" at work today, I created a quiz on the (outstanding) quiz site sporcle.com about FFXI, cleverly titled "Final Fantasy XI Areas." Here's the link, take the quiz if you're interested:

    Can you name the areas of Final Fantasy XI? - sporcle

    Fair warning, the time limit (20 min) is a bit prohibitive to name all the zones I compiled but that's the max sporcle allows; realistically it would've been best to have a 30 min time limit.

    I also ignored zones in Shadowreign that have present-times equivalents (except one) and chopped "The" off the beginning of all zone names. Sporcle also has a limit of 200 answers per quiz so certain zones had to be combined with areas they were either similar or identical to (eg, no individual zones for each Hall of Transference) and I still wound up with 199 answers.

    Let me know what you think and post your scores! Thanks guys. ^^

    Problem with zones is a lot of them have shitty names to spell. Plus you divided them by regions which makes it kind of easy.

    You should do something like listing all job abilities, and not have it sectioned off by jobs. Include merit stuff too.

    That's a dumb fucking quiz. Pictures for zones or match the zone with the region or something like what kuno said.

    Spell Beaucedine glacier? I can't even spell it here.

    Also, they're called Eastern and Western Altepa Deserts, not East and West.

    That site has some cool quizes. But having to list a million stuff can get kind of tough. Here is a quiz I really liked on that site.

    Can you name the Pokémon Characters (Generation 1)? - sporcle

    No items. Red and Blue only. Pokemon destination.

    Fixed the Alteps (now it works both ways); double-checked Bost[tab] and Chate[tab] and those spellings look right?

    Either way, thanks for the heads up.

    They're correct, I just mentioned those two because they were hard to spell. lol

    I agree that this quiz had potential had it been executed slightly differently.

    I don't know who else here does this, but from time to time when I'm bored ingame and there's nothing going on we'll do FFXI trivia in LS, where the winner of the last question gets to ask the next question, etc.

    I don't remember a lot of the questions now, though. One of my favorites used to be "name the only normally-accessible zone that isn't listed in the Auto-Translate function," which was Stellar Fulcrum until they finally added it years later.

    A fairly recent one was "Name the X [I forget what X was, maybe 7 or 8] mob types that are not beastmen but have more than one discernible job among non-NMs, and name the Beastmen mob types that have only one job." (Using the BLU magic spell help text as the authority on what is and is not a Beastmen.)

    That was very fun. 170/199. Thanks for putting the effort into the quiz. Found it a great way to see if I knew how to spell most of the areas too!

    ALSO: You spelt Phanauet Channel wrong, which meant I couldn't get that one. =(. You'd put Phanuet Channel instead. Everything else seems fine though.

    Just spent 10 minutes retyping "Northern San d'Oria" AND ITS NOT WORKING.


    ...I could actually spell Bostaunieux Oubliette without looking though.

    Fixed the sandos. Really appreciate the feedback to make it a better quiz.

    I only got 126/199. I would have gotten a few more had I known how to spell Raugemont Pass, The boyhada tree and others XD I was surprised at how many obvious ones I missed - then again, I just woke up about 15 mins before I took this quiz, so it was a nice way to turn my brain on.

    I tried to add in some common misspellings to make it a little easier, and also with such a time-crunch I don't mind making it a little easier with the regional groupings. Not to mention it's a bit more aesthetically pleasing to have them grouped than just having a big blob of areas that you're typing in all scatter-shot.

    You got 79 out of 199 areas of Final Fantasy XI. I can't spell.
