Odin's intention for his shenanigans is inadvertently revealed in Rhapsodies. This really gives this story an interesting feel.

29:16 : "Oh god I ate too much...blaaaurgh" Well done once again. These are probably some of the best recaps out there. Before these videos it was kind of difficult to find just straight up story summaries for FFXI. You're doing god's work!

While they were technically part of the Wings of the Goddess release schedule, I would very much appreciate it if you would also do a story recap of the Abyssea expansions. I vaguely remember what little story bits I can recall being intriguing, and the actual conclusion being my favorite moment of the entire game (that I played). But those memories are well over 10 years old, so I'm not sure how accurate they are.

Finally! Thank you for theae videos, I've really enjoyed them!

Another great recap. Keep up the amazing work!

So, major stories left is Seekers of Adoulin and Rhapsodies of Vana'diel. Won't lie, I'm more excited to see what comes out of your look of Rhapsodies of Vana'diel. For anyone else reading, XI is an experience on its own.

Yeahhhhh Buddy!!! I was waiting for this. Glooks homie!

Thanks so much for these story recaps from this remarkable game. It inspired me to resub and do a fresh start.

Yay!!! I hope you do seekers id love to hear the story of it as I never got a chance to play past the first initial missions

Looking at your video really does sum up the pacing of the expansion. A lot of build up to the reveal, then we gotta wrap this up as soon as possible! I really wish more time had been given to the events after the Odin reveal. Characters just seem so erratic in their behavior because of it. I also think if they spent time fleshing out the battle between the two timelines, it might have been less confusing.

great recap. this truly was one of the hardest stories to follow while playing it at time of release because it was spread over 3 years and main story came every other patch.. but it was my fave story because of how much it ties into the games history and the game itself.

Great recap! Reading the white slides at the end hit me right in the heart. Lol

I played WotG when it first came out. It was kind of confusing with all the starting and stopping with releases. But I kind of got use to that in Chains of Promathia when missions were level capped. Back before gear would sync down and you had to have level appropriate gear at every cap tier. And you'd get stuck on a section where nobody could help. So you'd end up going back and forth in the story helping and progressing it got kind of hard to keep track of what was going on in the story. I later went back through the entire story of FFXI with a friend who hadn't played it while we were waiting between FFXIV's Stormblood and Shadowbringers expansions. Wings of the Goddess was probably my favorite expansion. I enjoyed the main story, but it was the nations' side stories that really did it for me. Which I get why you wouldn't want to do them because they are full stories unto themselves. I also like how beastmen in the past would drop bottled pixies and if enough people release them in the past, they would start showing up in the present. It was always awesome when you died out in the middle of nowhere and a pixie wanders by and raises you.

I was so happy when I git my 2tb stick. Only reason I lasted so long was because of fast internet.

This actually remains my favorite expansion (partially because it’s the expansion that I joined the game on) but it was good to revisit the adventure that meant a lot to me!

Thanks for the recap. I hate to admit it but I never fully grasped WotG's story due to how it was slowly released over time and you having to hop between main scenario and nation missions. I recall actually quitting and returning to the game during this period so that definitely didn't make things easier with the huge gap.

Great summary! Looking forward to more FFXI content!

Nice work.

Thank you for this work again; as I furiously take as many notes as possible in my attempt to make an accurate tarot deck lol (wish me luck) Will you be doing any of the other stories, such as Seekers of Adoulin; and the three mini plots; Kupo d'etat; crystalline prophect, shantotto ascencion? any job related plot lines? anything else (mostly just out of curiousity)

Great video! Unsure if there is any interest but hoping for a story recap of the Abyssea series.

Another dope video. Good shit. 🤝

Vana'dirl as we know it is fake was a hell of a twist. Basically, dynamis is the reality and thats depressing.

For a story with a lot of silly anime BS characters, WotG has some really fun stuff in it. Nice vid bud 😊

Wings of the Goddess is when I quit ffxi for over 8 years. I completely hated it in every conceivable way. Later on, I would enjoy the story as a whole as I breezed through it

Are you going to Rhapsodies of Vana'diel?

Ill take the hate on this: This aside from ToAU was probably one of my favorite expansions.. though when I was playing it younger (og beta player) I never had the chance to appreciate it until later and they didnt release it all in one go.

Are you covering the Addons next or jumping straight to Adoulin?

pawsomes>^.^

This seems a very confuted story. FFXI walked so FFXIV could run, fall, explode then run again (Though also it could be just the 00s,they were a weird time)
