I just want to say thank you SE for Chains of Promathia and Zilart. Almost everyone I know hates CoP in particular, and so many now are complaining about game content/lack of that a thank you is in order because despite the many annoyances of CoP and despite it now being uncapped, it remains and always will be the best addition to FFXI.
I just witnessed the joy (and sighs of relief) of 3 people who started CoP capped and finished it uncapped. Triumph! Good job SE!

Wings of the Goddess was the best add-on, Chains of Promathia and Rise of the Zilart sucked.

I think Wings of the Goddess and Chains of Promathia have the best stories. Gameplay wise is another story. Would have loved Wings more if the Quest lines and Storylines were separated. Chains (Finished it right after "The no XP loss on Mission Battlefields" patch. So I finished it Old School.) problem were some the fights themselves. Gimmicky Difficulty because of way too many "Kryptonite" items to farm / synthesize (Animas, Yellow Liquid, mistmelts, Etc.), Job Specialization Fights (Almost required certain jobs to win specific fights) and overall jumping through hoops to progress in the storyline. Still a great story though, and the best Reward for finishing.

I thought Zilart was a very good portion of story that filled the gap between Shadow Lord and Promathia. I like what seemed like test-angles with the camera during Aht Urhgan story sequences.
But I agree with Teraniku. Chains of Promathia had a perfect ending to the original story, and Wings of the Goddess had a perfect telling of a misshapen past.
I would absolutely love to see more of this kind of storytelling, however maybe not in the manner Wings of the Goddess was treated... haha.

you know if you just filled all your posts with hatred and general dislike of the game, you would get a much more positive response. :P

CoP (pre all the nerfs) was one of the most rewarding things in this game to get completed. It provided a challenge that in my opinion SE has been unable to duplicate. I would love to see something like this again from SE, recently the easy as crap expansion stories/missions (90% of them being CS) have been way to easy. You shouldn't be able to do them all in group of 3 or less. I would love to see something like the Promy fights that took an alliance to get too, even if the BCNM itself was only a 6 person fight. Part of me would even like to see fights that take 12+ members to be able to complete, bring back the old school feel of group dynamics.

I totally agree with you. None of the new content is a challenge even though some of it can be enjoyable. Everything is silver plattered now. ZM even at level 75 or lower was easy, still fun though and ToAU with the exception of 3 or 4 fights at the end was nothing compared to the rigors of CoP pre nerf. I remember with pain and pleasure the long and gruelling trip through The Grand Palace to get to Ix'Grah, the pots fight, the sheer joy of CoP 8-4 and the glorious CS's that accompanied it. I would love to see a new storyline/missions. Someone posted somewhere in these forums that they would like to see a Storyline based around Tavnazia. That would be awesome. In the meantime I am going to try and make progress in WoTG. I hate Campaign with a passion, but love the Missions. :)
Thank you for all your comments, nostalgic sure, but CoP was truly the most well planned storyline by SE and the most rewarding to complete.
