>_>... Can we get a new map for this zone or something, preferably something that would be useful to display where we are rather second guess? I'm pretty sure the moogle that came up with this map was intoxicated at the time... That or you got Michael J. Fox to draw the map.

This thing is 100% Useless.

It's not fully labeled since I realized I should probably be labeling things as I map when I was half done, but should at least help people a little find their way around the place. Since people were doing Colonization Reives at the time I actually never ran into one either, so I have no idea where they might be. If someone wants to take the image and update it, feel free of course.

But yeah, seriously SE, why even bother adding that map?

EDIT: Another map posted by someone on BG. Might be better than mine, although I notice some differences (Areas not on mine, some not on the other). But whatever, close enough :P

Oh, hey, finally one that looks more annoying to use than Yuhtunga and Yhoator Jungles' maps.

I blame the coven of witches in Yorica Weald... they muddled the moogle mapper's mind!

After I looked at it enough I actually found it a lot easier to navigate than Yhoater/Yuhtunga back in the day. To this day the only way I know where I'm going in those 2 zones is because I've memorized the routes by landmarks. Yorica Weald at least has the paths visible on the map - it just takes some adjusting to see.

Why not add a new Coalition Assignment for the Scout's Coalition?
Measure: Yorcia
"Complete a measurement in Yorcia Weald to get data for a more accurate map."

Let's say there have to be 3 measures in every quadrant of the map. After this is done, an updated map becomes available.
All Assignments that are finished after the new map becomes available are 'to increase the accurateness of the map'.

I don't know if SE grasp the idea of what a cartographer does lol.

"Normally", a map shows the orography and the location of the rivers and roads. When there is flora in a map is just for reference unless there is a tree that has been a lot of time there.

This is just nonsense in a paper lol. Is like the cartographer was hammered and just wanted to picture every single bush or top of a tree not taking care whatsoever about what is in the ground.

This map is hilarious, but when the laughs end, all you can do is /facepalm lol.

Yeah... but at least they make sense once you figure out where the map ends and the blank squares start.

At least in promivion it shows which of the two possible floor 3's you went to, since there's different layouts for either one.

Yorica's however, only works when you use widescan.

well yorica is probably the least explored zone. No one ever makes it back from yorica apparently.

Which I assume anyone who ever played FFXII can attest to how horrible that place was. In either case, I really do wish they would give us some way to receive a proper map for Yorcia, because as it is now, I hate it. I assume the map might also be pulling others away from that area unless something else about it is particularly annoying, because while Marjami has a 100% rate on Phoenix, Yorcia is sitting around 25~30% last I knew.

If we're going to keep it consistent with lore, I could imagine that this map is the results of observation from an airship due to the whole "Yorcia Weald murders most explorers who go in there" thing.

Except for the whole, "Airships don't work because their engines shut down and fall out of the sky over the wilderness because of geomantic energy." thing.

On Shiva, Marjami Ravine is @ 100% while Yorica Weald is @ 19%. When I try to ask people why they refuse to go do Colonization Reives at Yorica, they tell me they get lost way too easy and that the map sucks.

I've yet to go to Yorica, but based on the pictures of the maps I've seen so far, it puts the Yuhtunga/Yhoator Jungle maps to shame.

So the map maker just logged into Moogle Maps, switched to satellite view and drew what could be seen from space?

I lolled when I saw the Yorc map. It's freaking hilarious. Just to make the place even more annoying, why not throw some Chigoes in there too! hurdy hur.
