  • History of Vana'diel - March 06 Update!!!

    EDIT: thf af is now gone ^^ thanks to Ibihni from Garuda

    Well it's been a few months, but now things are really rolling so Viena and I got to work on the site again. Hopefully you're all eager to see what we've done ^^

    things updated for March 06:

    -we changed the main page intro, now to reflect the coming expansion.
    -compiled an up to date list of all the "profiles" featured on the official site, under the Profiles section.
    -added at the request of many visitors a "notable quests" section, which I will try and find all the quests of any importance to over all plot (ie: the S.O.B quest line or the Time Traveler quest line). You can think of any important quests that should be featured here, please email them to me or reply with them here.
    -we added the aht urhgan flag and the nations facts at the bottom of the side bar. We will add the important figures section once the expansion is out and we can figure out who they are exactly ..oooor SE can just release more information than just 2 characters and a curtain
    -many sections have been changed or updated to reflect CoP storyline resolution information and other game events.
    -some sections have been reworked and rewritten, we will contine doing this up until the next update.

    CALL FOR HELP:
    if anyone can help, I would be greatful if you could write up the storyline (with specifics) for Paladin, White Mage, Ranger or Beast Master. You will of course be credited.

    Thank you again for all your support, and here's to the expansion ^^ I can't wait.

    Huh... That's funny timing. A friend sent me a link to this website today, when I was looking around for a CoP plot over-view. I had managed to forget most of the plot. I wasn't expecting there to be a large amount of information for the time of the Zilart/Kuluu, but it was a very pleasant surprise.

    Based on what you said here, you're already working on AF quests. I haven't seen them on the website yet, but I'm still going through the mission plots. (I'm on the last page of CoP now.) ( '-')b

        I just hadn't gotten that far down the menu yet. Glad you have the summoner one added in...I remember very little about it, other than learning how important carrying around instant warp/warp cudgels are at all times...

        Being stuck in Fei'yin as a job unable to teleport/warp was definately an experience. Of course, like a week later I found out you could do AF quests as an alternate job. Meh.

        Anyway, nice resource of information.

          I still don't like how your site spoils the entire story of the game. Its not a "history" site, because everything that is listed there about RoZ and CoP happen in present time.

          One of the best things about this game was finishing main story and RoZ, but towards the end of CoP, your site came out and I spoiled it for myself. Its a temptation that shouldn't exist. In my opinion, you are hurting FFXI without knowing it. Bad enough, your site fails to give much 'history' at all, just a lot of spoilers.

            Spoilerific or not, I absolutely adore this site. I've only read what has happened in the past, and up to specific missions. (If I read something that I havn't done yet, I stop reading it and close the website until I can get to that point in the game.) I stopped at chapter 14 I think. Even though I've done a lot of missions and so forth, I just didn't want to read too many spoilers :D. Keep up the good work!

                I've been the website's case, who runs it doesn't matter to me. I think it doesn't delivers what the names promises and kills the 'magic' of FFXI's story. I think your site is due for a huge overhaul, taking all the spoiler content is hiding it in a corner and fill up your site with facts that people that are leveling in Dunes should know. Maybe even a Vana'diel Tribune archive. But, it is not my site, so whatever. Whoever enjoys it can continue to enjoy it.

                  but the vana'diel tribune is the vana'diel tribune, I don't need to copy that to make Vanadiel tribune 2

                  A history defined by websters is : A chronological record of events, as of the life or development of a people or institution, often including an explanation of or commentary on those events.

                  That is exaclty what my site is.
                  Just becuase it spoils doesn't negate it being a history.
                  Are you saying by writting a history book I'm spoiling who won WWII?

                  I understand you dislike spoilers, but this site is for people who don't want to lvl all the jobs, or are stuck hopelessly in CoP 2-1, or are writing fan fics and need information about kingdoms or characters, or plot lines to make their story accurate..
                  in face most of the viewers are people who quit the game for reasons of real life and are just happy they can enjoy it without having to give up their RL responsibilities.

                  Yes, it is a spoiler..
                  but I'm proud of it.

                    As you should be. I love this site, it helps when I'v been stuck on a mission for a long time and I need a review of past plot points.

                    I'm just wondering something though, are you going to be putting the story information from the CoP 8-5 (the final fight with the 2 Zilart brothers)?

                    No Ifs Ands or Buts about it.
                    Rest of my sig

                      The information is available to anyone, they just have to determine for themselves if they want to spoil any plots themselves or not. I personally don't have a problem with this. I looked over AF quests and only read Monk and Summoner quests, which I had already done. And I had already completed Zilart/CoP, so I just read those from start to finish.

                      See...that's how people with willpower do it. '-')b

                      It's not like you're forced to read it. If you start reading and get past where your character(s) are in the missions/quests, that's your own damn fault.

                        I'm gonna stick 8-5 under notable quests...
                        I don't think it fits in with either plot line or deserves it's own section..
