have you ever started a project and then noticed dark knowledge that spiraled into a mental breakdown. no? that's how my extended map of gridania for a friend is going
#saint.txt#ok context#I've been meaning for a while to do an extended map of coerthas for my own lore stuff to pepper in h/c settlements and forts and stuff#bc of the inherent nature of how MMO maps are much. much. MUCH smaller than they would be in area bc game limits.#anyways a close friend joked abt needing a gridania map for their own lore so I was like bet and started drawing it#and all I needed was gridania so I was like. just take the official blank region map off ffxiv.api and layer it over with the in-game one#that has all the playable areas on it. overlay them. and draw out the regions so you have a rough idea of where things are. simple.#+ whatever 1.0 maps you can find#except. EXCEPT. after actually inspecting the geography and where the regions of the shroud are placed the entire in game map is wrong.#all of it. north shroud is placed where coerthas western lowlands is. south shroud is literally in pagl'than. half of central shroud#(central lowlands not western sorry)#is in mor dhona and haukke manor takes up 1/4 of silvertear lake.#also bonus if you go by in game maps ala mhigo the city is quite literally in the fuckin sea. it's underwater!!!!!!!!!!#I'm not even kidding go look up gyr abania right now on the ffxiv wiki and look at the region map the lochs is in the fuckin sea!!!!!#anyways that's been my night I am currently reaching through the screen of an xiv dev
