Hiya everyone, as you can see I've been extremely busy with a custom map project the likes I wanted but never got around to do for Final Fantasy XI. And I decided that I wouldn't miss out on the opportunity to do this with Final Fantasy XIV. I've even taken the time to learn the Eorzean Language which I can now read very well, without a guide, though a few letters still make me stop and think for a sec. Thus I decided to translate all of it into English so its easier to read, especially the smaller text, so everyone can better navigate these huge regions. {Please do keep in mind that some translations may not be 100% accurate as a few locations are difficult to see but I'll be sure to get them corrected as soon as possible...}
Note: These maps are an extreme work in progress, as they take an incredible amount of time to get them as detailed and as accurate as I have made them. I honestly cannot say when they will be complete, if ever; considering the nature of an MMO and how often things can change, are learned about an area and new content updates. I'm definitely dedicated to this project and will be updating them as often as possible; with new information I discover or reported on by our members and other visitors to our forums.
Please post discoveries in their relevant forum so its easier to keep track of everything!
I'd like to enjoy playing for a time before I begin creating/editing the map for a newly discovered region, but rest assured I'll be hard at work on it in time. However, it may take awhile before a new region is posted, so please bear with me until I get it far enough along to post it. I did decide to add a "Map by Khalus Akuhei of Eldritch Eponym"watermark to each one, because I don't want anyone else trying to claim credit for them. And I placed them in centralized locations so it would be difficult for someone to edit it out, should some numnut attempt to steal my work.
I do have many other additions I'd love to add, but they'll take time to discover and get accurate info on; for instance:
NM Spawn Points
Locations of a conglomerate of the same enemy or of a few rare ones
Major Storyline points to forward a scene, pop an NM encounter or click on a ???
Anything that I havn't yet thought about that would be a good idea to keep track of...{feel free to toss me some ideas}
On the left you'll see I have each section of Aldenard broken up to the best I could think of for now. I'm unsure if some of these places will actually be a region or not, so they could be there for naught, but its nice to have much of this complete and ready to go. All of the links are complete for each region of Aldenard and anchor to their designated area, however since there are no maps for many, they're all bunched up at the bottom and appears to not be working properly, but it will once I get maps to place there.
