The Mysteries of Vana 'Diel

That's what it was!

Nice.

Side note, Karbuncle, I'm totally going to find you in game later, haha. :P

Does anyone remember that site that had all of the FFXI storyline more or less novelized? It was like the greatest site ever, having missed out on finishing much of the story, it was fun to read through all of the background for the events and the happenings in chronological order.

I wonder if that site is still around myself. Lord knows I sped read through all of RotZ and CoP and would love to be able to have a better understanding of what actually went on.

i think you can read all (or most) of the game text on wikia. just click on the mission path you want, go to the bottom, and then click the next mission. not very 'novel' like, but if all the dialog is there, still viable.

So how come we have diaga but no bioga?

What? I never said it wasn't going to be a silly one.

Pulling something out of my ass?

Divine Magic is radiant. Divine Magic is derived from elements which radiate energy, making it easier to generate an "area of effect" -- pun intended.

Dark Magic is the exact opposite. It absorbs light, and has a tendency to collapse in on itself. Making it harder to expand it into an effect that spread across an area. That's why Absorb/Aspir/Absorb-Stat abilities draw from one place and "collapse" into another as single target.

How did I do? lol

[Defiledsickness]

then how do you explain sleepga?

[Sparthos]

then how do you explain sleepga?

Sleepga isn't dark magic?

Sleepga isn't Dark Magic. Its Enfeebling.

Dark Magic =/= Dark Element magic.

[Defiledsickness]

its dark element tho, just because its an enfeeble :P w/e then lol

In one of the missions involving Fei'yin, a NPC says they found ruins similar to Fei'yin on Cape Teriggan. What is this supposed to be?

The cermet headstone near the Cloister of Gales is made of the same material as the Fei'yin structure.

Why is Kingslayer Doggvdegg in Limbus?

This is a tough one.

If we assume Doggvdegg fell into the Crystal line after the battle with him in the WOTG Sandy mission then it's possible he remained there in limbo until the Al'taieu crystal became linked to the system during the events of CoP.

It isn't exactly impossible seeing as Lion pulled off a similar stunt that sidelined her from the conclusion of Zilart until the post-CoP followup in Apocalypse Nigh.

Year 1129 of the Crystal Era just began. What event marks the start of the "Crystal Era," though?

The star Gordeus in the Constellation of Alexander went supernova and lit up the night sky for an entire year.

AKA, the last Ragnarok.
