Get your tissues ready for this one; WotG Windurst part 3 is now uploaded.
For full details, visit my original WotG post, which has been updated to reflect the new material. I have also updated this post to reflect my current progress on completing and recording these missions
Bashraf, Wahboud and Foudeel... Oh My!
While I'm somewhat indifferent about this quest myself, it is frequently cited as one of the most loved in FFXI, and you gotta admit, there's a couple of great lines. Bill Withers reference anyone?
This video includes the cutscenes from the two related quests:
Two new videos have been added to Veoh, Missions part 3, and Bastok part 3. For full details, visit my original WotG post, which has been updated to reflect the new material.
Additional WotG videos (and maybe a surprise!) will be recorded and uploaded in the next few weeks.
Picking back up with the mini-expansions released last year, A Crystalline Prophecy brings the lore of Memoria de la Ŝtona full circle, re-uniting Aldo with his long lost sister when Vana'diel is faced with an other-worldly threat.
This video includes all the missions from the mini-expansion, including:
The Echo Awakens
Gatherer of Light
Those Who Lurk in Shadows
Remember Me in Your Dreams
Born of Her Nightmares
Banishing the Echo
Ode of Life Bestowing

The final fight of this add-on was a real bitch for me, requiring numerous attempts with many different setups over the course of about a year. In the end, I think we won with only one person left alive at a couple hundred HP left. Many thanks to my comrades at Got Jugs for bringing these missions to a close.
Of course, even though I finished and recorded the cutscenes a couple of months ago, Veoh continues to be tempermental about accepting my large divx files. I finally lucked out with a random attempt to upload this week, so here you are.
As for the overall project and my playtime, I had a couple of months this summer where I got back in the swing of WotG, but my schedule caught up with me again, especially given the new job I started recently. My future play time is therefore in limbo, and my highest job is still only 76, but I am at least planning on spending some time this holiday weekend editing part three of the missions (#16-26) and trying to record parts three and four of the nation quests through Q11, which have all been completed except Bastok - What Price Loyalty. As for Shantotto, the final fight is every bit as annoying as ACP and I'm 0/3.
Oh, and in case ya'll are wondering, while I did reserve a blog space for FFXIV, I'm really not sure if that's gonna happen or not, especially with FFXI not even done, but you never know.
I play Final Fantasy XI online as Bartholomew on the Shiva server. My project has been to travel around Vana'diel to collect all the cutscenes from FFXI missions and major quest lines, and to present them in order in a single, comprehensible story from start to finish. Obviously, this means nearly all of my videos will contain spoilers, so if you don't want to know what happens or haven't finished these quests or missions for yourself, then you probably don't want to view them. My cutscene videos typically do NOT contain any recorded battles, as you can find a ton of these elsewhere.
