The best part about FFXI was the sheer difficuly of character progression. Difficulty in this game means: taking a long ass time to get anything / get anything accomplished. All those 10+ hour exp/merit parties were actually fun though, to me atleast.
i miss my friends who left us... and all the party's we had together. I miss the chucles we had when mobs poped up and ate our faces. I will never leav. only real life death culd take me away from FF for good. but i think i wuld probly be a gost on it afterwords LMAO!

Why you even ask if it FFXIV.... its 2008 and it said FFXI on the title.
Anyway, COP is NICE. BEST STORY I EVER have from an FF series and I have beat so many FF 3,4,,6,7,8,9,10,x2 dissidia. Prishe's characterize is a great way, Definite deserve the best female character title. I really feel sorry for Prishe at the end of the story (no she didn't die :P)
5* on the vid, I love this game so much, especially the CoP storyline. I've even ran through it on multiple characters just for to remember the epicness that is CoP. Thank you for the vid. ps what's your char name/server? :-D
This is still the best FFXI fan made trailer i have ever seen, its even better than 90% of the stuff SE has released for FFXI over its run....i really hope they hired you for the advertising team kian :P
I just finished CoP this Monday, took me pretty much from when I (re)started back in July 2008 but I have to say it was worth the wait.
CoP has to be the most epic, engaging and downright enthralling SE has EVER created, it's very hard to top and your video does it massive justice. Its AMAZING, nicely done :D
WotG took far too long to get the storyline finished, towards the end it just felt like they were going 'we've milked them and drawn this out long enough, let's just get it over with'
do it up man, i quit for 2 years and i've been back for about 2 months now and oh my god it is the best MMORPG ive ever played, ive played a shit load of them and none match up to FFXI
O M FING GOD this IS EPIC love this video great work on dreamscape studios! :0 Loooove CoP and omg i want to wear the main character clothes and black my hair too! soo cool :P
Chains of Promathia was the funnest time I had playing ffxi lol... I loved it so much... I beat half of it in 4 days without a static xD... well it was kind of a static... i told them though "if your not on tomorrow at the agreed time we are leaving you the fudge behind =)" and guess what, they all showed up everytime xD anyways im heading back to ffxi ASAP o.o... I seriously don't know how anyone can think WoW is better than this game... it kind of like some bad joke they are making or somethin
Holy crap, I think I just had an orgasm! lol I'm heading back to Cerberus this coming week since I snagged myself a brand new HP gaming laptop! :) I can't wait to see how this baby will run FFXI! (Runs Battlefield 2 at 45 FPS (Highest Quality) So I'm sure that it'll rape FFXI with power! :P
I love videos like this, since my laptop kinda lacks on the high scale of graphics, most of my CS's were painfully seen at a rate of 2-3 FPS because of the amount of beauty Square puts into the cut scene's... poor lappy can't take it D: And these video's really bring out the beauty and quality of it again <3
It's your lucky day then. SE is introducing a function called 'Level Sync' in the next update where players (and their armor) of any level can sync down to the level of the lowest person in the group and still get max exp/merits. In other words, you might start seeing merit parties in the dunes.
Garuda /bow. And don't plan on leaving any time soon. If you feel like checking it out I know a great social ls, and if you're starting over from blank you should let me get you a gold world pass so I can get an airship furnishing >.>...
YES! FINALLY! Awesome work as usual Kian! I guess you finally heard the calls of everyone moaning for a CoP addition to your Aht Uhrgan story. your video making skills far surpass mine. Completely amazing.
Also meant to ask, how on earth do you have textless cutscenes? I've been trying forever to find a format or program that allows for textless cutscenes. Or do you just cut out the text and everything else? I'm sure it's for Windows only but I have to know! lol.
Thanks very much for the comments ^^ and let's see...in the Menu/Window Settings, I put the maximum lines to 6 and the minimum lines to 0. Then while filming I try to only let there be two lines of text at a time max (then the text box comes to only slightly above the party names box). After that I just crop the video so that the names/text at the bottom and the signal at the top are gone. And taa daaa! Non-distracting video.
Yeah it will. I run at 1024x768 Overlay and 1024x1024 Background in windowed mode for FFXI with a 1280x800 screen. Doesn't really matter though, you should be able to crop the video in whatever video editor you use after you record.
Breathtaking. Truly the ONLY FFXI video I have ever seen that's implemented such an intense style of editing and storytelling. Intense and incredible. Favorited.
Very awesome, found the link via PFA forums...CoP is definitely the best storyline in the game. Awesome editing and music, this look amazing in high quality. ^^
I truly enjoyed this video. Excellent music choice to go with an excellent montage from one of the best storylines. Very well made.
