Vandole would likely have been pronounced Va-na-do-le (re) The middle area is labeled 鳥の島, tori no shima: bird island. Right below that is ジュノ: Jueno. Top right island is と?－リア：to?ria, no idea what that second character is. I'm awful with handwriting. Maybe ウ, so Touria, Tu'Lia? Southwest of that is メリファトス: Meriphatosu Southwest of that is シャリア: Shyaria 5:43 That is バストワーク: Bastok. The 'tunnel' you asked about just says 橋 (hashi: bridge). Along the bridge you see セルピナ, Selpina, assume it is Selbina. You are right, it just says バスコア海、Basucoa umi (sea). ７：１７、食官, not sure what it means... google translate said praefectus.... Like a ruler's residence... The tiny islands in the top left say "Poedo" and sea of ice.

Tu'lia is written as テゥーリア. For sounds the Katakana Syllabary cannot naturally produce, the small characters, ァィゥェォ are used. Take the katakana form or the word "whiskey" ウィスキー. The Syllabary cannot produce a "Wi" sound, so the use the katakana U with a small katakana I. If you want to use these characters yourself, you have to type them as "la" "li" "lu" "le" and "lo".

You know, I tried wow when it had been out for a year or maybe two. I had, of course, been playing FFXI, and the one thing about wow, the one sticking point, the one detail I simply could NOT get over... was the fact you were locked into your class unless you wanted to create a new character. FFXI, and XIV, allow you to change job/class on the same character, and that just, in my mind, makes the game feel like there's more freedom.

On the Windurst side of the ocean, in the 10-20 range, instead of Buburimu Peninsula, we used Maze Makers in the Maze of Shakhrami to level. In fact, I never visited the Valkurm Dunes until my 3rd job playthrough. (Baronlector - Sylph)

@zakisslackin995 2 жыл бұрын

if I remember correctly, Zilart was apart of the initial development that's why kuzotz is there. I also remember them saying they wanted to add a train system that would connect to Jueno, but the PS2 limitations prevent them going with it.

@chishioengi 2 жыл бұрын

The katakana on the island at the southwest is "Kazan" so we can assume that's supposed to be Elshimo. And the continents are Quon (San d'Oria/Bastok) and Mindartia (Windurst)

That 'Tunnel' looks like the Spine that runs through Mephirated Mountains.

@Gooseys11 2 жыл бұрын

I think those things you called tunnels were the beginning concept of the crag spines that go all over the main continents. Also that maelstrom in the ocean might have been the entrance to sea. That cool rock formation also looked exactly like Tavnazia.

I love seeing early development stuff, even thought I agree it has a degree of sadness to it, like stuff might make you go _"Oh, I'm sad they never went this route! That would've been a lot more interesting."_ There are other developers I'd like to see this kind of stuff from too. I'm pretty sure the step following this napkin sketch, was where they design team got together and discussed how each nation should have X-amount of distance to the central point of the world and therefore made adjustments to ensure maps would be vastly different in design, but keep some similarities. Imagine if Pashhow and Rolanberry were all converted into one linear bridge path. It would be so tedious to cross and I'd imagine making enemies appear fairly along the way, like the bridges would connect to smaller island or platforms where you could roam about... I don't know, would be difficult to design an interesting map concept around. Imagine if all that was left of that whole, long bridge concept, was narrowed down to that one single bridge in North Gustaberg, before you reach Konschtat Highlands? 😂 Thanks for sharing. I'd translate some of the points I too was curious about, but I see people have already been doing so, over these past hours. 😊

@rorytaylor626 2 жыл бұрын

I think what you're calling a "tunnel" could be Drogaroga's Spine. Also, maybe the collection of islands was the beginning of an idea for Tavnazia Archipelago?

@leonardoliveira 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks for reminding me the name. It exists to transmit magic power from Ro'Maeve to Delkfutt's Tower at Qfim Island. In turn Delkfutt's Tower's purpose is transmit that power to Tu'Lia floating fortress.

@Onime86 2 жыл бұрын

I think that long "tunnel" you saw hunt was in fact the scrapped idea for a monorail that was run by Jueno that acrossed the Quon continent seen here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ndiRgMWqmtedYIk.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ia6Zqbd41K2zpYU.html Ive heard that the ramp in Bastok mines (where the Jockulater is in Dyna-D) is supposed to be part of the old train depot idea.

@leonardoliveira 2 жыл бұрын

That thing is actually the "bony" pipe (looks like a spine) which runs through the southern continents connecting the power station at Ro'Maeve by the bottom of the map to Qufim Island's Delkfutt's Tower (which is actually a power transmission tower for the floating fortress at the Tu'Lia region). Basically it's a power transmission line (magic power). This is "somewhat" explained by the main story and alternate quest lines on Rise of the Zilart content. I believe the train depot thing is unrelated to this bony thing that is shown on the map but indeed there are remains of it around Gustaberg at the mountains...

@nyrahl593 2 жыл бұрын

Top right is Tu'Lia Far left'ish middle is Blue Paradise aka "Sea" I see a north port + south port. Selbina is in the middle of the spine Bastok at the far south end of the spine. Castle "Horror" in the north is Zvahl. Mithril mountain Top left corner is "Void"? Norg on the bottom right.

Man, so check this out, right. I just wiped my PC, reinstalled Windows, all that. And I installed FFXI. It's now in the process of updating, and oh GOD what a slog. Like it'll SAY it's got an hour left on the download process, but that's just it's way of saying "could be done in an hour... or you could be waiting until next month. Dunno." And it's especially a problem with big updates. And I'm glad they streamlined the process for FFXIV, but, uh... well... let's just say libtorrent is a VERY SMALL program. Like it'd be trivial to implement. And that's what SE needs to do. Will they? No. What they got "works" ... not very well or efficiently, but it works.

Hopes are diminishing for ffxi anniversary…. Its like a month away anf we haven’t heard anything. I don’t think there will be a big surprise. Just conclusion of VR with some new battle content (emp3), maybe new dark ultimate weaps, and maybe 1 new zone. Cool and all but was hoping for more.
