Wings of the Goddess Completion

Before Abyssea (at least on Levi) most who did wotg did San'dOria & only San'dOria, if you did Windurst (Now popular only due to the earring) or Bastok you where screwed. Before I found a wotg static I was often spending looong hours shouting for help with the bastok wotg battlefields (of corse before 95, I think 80 was the cap then I Don't remember...and possibly bugging/annoying Syris & some of his ls members, I'm sorry D: ) most who did join from shouts where people who where doing all 3 nations.

I guess if you got time for an alt you can repeat that way? thats what I'm doing but due to some...unfortunate circumstances wotg is on Hiatus for my Galka alt (This current PC lags HORRIBLY when I try to use fraps or Camnista) since I made a habit of recording the cs's as him since there's like no cs's with Galka players on Youtube ^^; (besides that I don't know what augs to get for him, he's not a spellcaster all the time so refresh would be useless on a dnc & thf, I do melee on sch when I solo if that helps as /nin or /dnc)

Sorry for veering off track a bit.

Any word at all from the devs on this? Even a "No, we don't see a problem" or "We'll get back to you in a few years" would be better than nothing.

Having completed 3/4 of the WotG Storyline (Still have the last set of Windy Quests to do) I've really enjoyed the themes of the missions / quests. From the "Horrors of War" Windurst Story, to the "Political Intrigue" Bastok story, and the "Coming of age, Disney-fied" San D'Oria story they gave you a real scope on how the war affected the nations. WotG holds the unique status of having the only mission in the game that has your entire party in one of the cutscenes.

I think it is/was largely due to the fact that the reward(s) were not known, and after they were, they didn't (and still might not) seem useful enough as a large portion of, if not most of the players couldn't not care less about the story and just smash their ways through the cutscenes.

I didn't start it before I could actually solo some things at 75, and only really started and finished it at 90, as a duo/trio. I actually had done only Bastok quests at the point I think, but I started doing the San d'Oria quests to help my friend finish them (which was my main point of doing them at all at the time). Was indeed great fun with a close friend (miss those times sooo much), and the cutscenes and the story was really nice, even if it has its flaws.

Some time after that, the friend quit playing so I didn't really play much either (and still don't), but I have since completed the other quests as well (twice for myself), and helped numerous players with them and at this day, it should be even more easy to do with less people so that should not be an excuse to anyone who at least sort of has a friend or few around (or is able to team up with strangers).

It even has some use for the Abyssea-addicts as the Atma are not that bad but not like they are overly useful, either.

I do miss the quests and missions... and my friends. Especially the fights, those were very nicely done. Maybe I'll do them on a third character some time. Would need to level another one up though hah.


As for the fact how the missions are tied to the nation-quests, while I always have disliked very strongly the fact that with some fights people can't help if they have not progressed to that point themselves, I do understand it as the fights are very much story-related. It would spoil things and they would make no sense but it is true that most probably would just not care as they don't need the story parts in the first place, but only the reward(s) in the end.

The difficulty level of the quests and missions fer sure should not be a problem anymore, but I do realise that not everyone want to put so much time into just helping someone. Even so, I implore anyone and everyone to complete all the quests if one has any liking towards the stories in the game.

Sometimes I even wish there was someone I could help with these again... Don't even have an active Linkshell. S:
Some things of course can never be replaced as I do so much enjoy the journey. More so than the goal. ^^;


Okay, I'm going to stop now before I go on for pages. :þ
To the Assault mobile, blubb!

Was that the one for the fight against the 4 Spitewardens? I heard about that when one of my guys reacted to it, but didn't see it for myself because I soloed all the cutscenes a week before. Now I feel like I missed out. Maybe I can get one of my guys to come to the goblin footprint in Walk of Echoes and take another look.

Probably that one is what is being referred to, yes, but as I remember it, it shows only one of the party members. Or that's how I remember it at least. I had a party of 3, and it seemed to pick one from the party, in my case, the one that was not in the area, and thus there was just emptiness instead of my friend! S:

Showed my entire party in the cs, but only the party leader is duplicated for the fight.

Hmmm, how odd.

Purrrhaps the Glitch Gremlin was at work behind our scenes.
Or...

when we did that spitewarden fight, we had our party leader(taru) dress in the santa gear and equip a dream bell. it made such a cute sound when he used hexa strike on our tank haha :3

I wonder if the lack of completion is a concern for SE, and if they have any plans to make any changes that would encourage or help players get them done.

Also, what's the take of posters here on the state of these missions? What would you like to see done, if anything? What would you recommend SE could/should do?

Better rewards. Not just from storyline completion itself, but from battlefields and quests made available when getting near the end of the mission line. WotG wasn't really completed until after the level cap was raised. In my opinion, there should be tons of gear coming out of this expansion that is actually still relevant. And not just WoE stuff.
