x. Chains of Painmanthia


Hallo Ocarina! Today is a random FFXI blog post and I haven't done one in awhile (but that's also because I've been doing some manga binging). I've been wanting to do this for quite some time because I did finish Chains of Promanthia! If you're planning to return to FFXI and you want to go do the MSQ, then I might suggest you to avoid this!


You've been warned!! 

I won't be spoiling much about Chains of Promanthia. Overall, how should I sum up the story writing?

It felt like there were multiple people working on the story, everyone had a really good idea, but everyone failed to execute it properly and together in the story. There were some confusing plot points where it requires the player to do additional side quests for more lore on characters that you don't quite care about. 

The main villian of the story is a giant baby, I don't know how else to describe him. He was pretty pathetic, very delusional, and just terribly written. Did nobody want to proofread the story...or what?

They also included three annoying tarutarus and I honestly hate them so much. They didn't add much the story?????????


Can somebody tell me how Prische can see Bahamut when the airship POLE is in between them? I dunno, this angle confused me so much and they were talking to each other...


I honestly don't get how Prische got into Dissidia, like her character is so bad. She is a very basic shounen character with 0 character development. 


Tenzen was like a likeable loser, then he legit became a sore loser...


I did enjoy a lot of the scenic adventuring in this expansion; for example, this place is amazingly cool. It gives a little FFXIV Lakeland vibe, doesn't it? There are sharks swimming underneath and you can aggro them! Thought it was really neat to explore here!


Do you guys recognize this from Eureka??


Get ready for scenic screenshot spammmm!!!!





Alien-ish goldfish. They're kind of cute. They'll follow you and look at you because they're curious, but they won't hurt you! I didn't kill them cause I didn't want to feel guilty >_<




The architecture in this temple was really neat (it's the final boss location).






Each level gets a little more detailed.




These giant fairies don't hurt you.



This kind of gave a little Nier vibe.




Marshmallow boss (one of the final bosses for Chains of Promanthia).



FIGHT IN SPPPAAAACE, sort of. But the scenery was pretty cool! This was easy because I was overgeared LOL


Until next post everyone and take care,
