Wings of the Goddess

WotG has the most underrated storyline, by far. Anyone talking crap about it being the worst expansion pack clearly didn't pay attention to the story at all.

Not just the story! I'm starting to get interested in the details of campaign battle (odd I know lol). WotG definitely feels like the most immersive expansion pack as a general fan of the FFXI lore- bits and pieces of things from the previous expansions start to make sense. I was pleasantly surprised to see multiple references to Ulbuka during various cut-scenes and NPC dialogue too.

WotG was an abject failure because it did not motivate its content with useful rewards, not because the storyline was bad. Also, the missions took so long to come out that many of us had difficulty stringing together the plot over what was literally years between starting and finishing the missions. IIRC, the final WotG mission was released in the same patch that raised the level cap to 99.

So yeah, it came out on November 20th of 2007 and you are finally enjoying the plot now. Good content, horrible implementation. That might put it on the "good" side of SE releases, but that doesn't mean it was done well.

Yeah I did forget about the plot here and there due to huge gaps in mission releases. It's the main reason I am not doing the missions yet for this expansion so I don't forget lol.

Yes it took a long time to get all of the story out but that didn't make it a reaaaly good story. Also nice to have a connection with it and void watch with all of the cait sith goodness. Btw SE where are you on that cute feline finally becoming our summon? Lol

Probably not 99, but yeah, it started to go up around that time.

They did do it badly at the time, and it was only after they raised the maximum level that I was able to enjoy it. And much did I enjoy! It was, is, a good expansion, but yes, it was badly done in ways. Just as they keep doing right now, and no doubt in the future... sad but true.

What you're saying may be true, however for people who haven't experienced it yet, or completed it yet, now is a great time to do it. All of the new ways to warp around make some of the would-be-tedious questing not so bad. Really loved the story

Wings Of The Goddess was the greatest FFXI expansion, in my humble opinion. DNC and SCH, Campaign, awesome new areas and revamped old areas, and the mission storyline which was the best in FFXI history (imho). Uber uber uber. LL/LA last boss fight had the coolest looking mob ever too. Plus Moonshade earring, total epicalness.
