FFXI GIL-A Crystalline Prophecy

Square Enix should also be commended for finding a way to utilize existing areas of the game. Vanadiel is full of beautiful zones that we do not get to visit often enough. The harrowing climb up Delkfutts Tower was a creative use of something that had been in the game for several years. True, the climb became extremely annoying after more than a few trips to the fulcrum, but the concept of turning Delkfutts Tower into a Chains of Promathia-style dungeon crawl is worthy of applause.

The storyline of ACP was not great -- with such a small expansion, there simply was not time to develop the plot. Time was the only insurmountable obstacle faced by "A Crystalline Prophecy." A scenario expansion that is beatable in a few days can never compete with a full-scale expansion pack. Still, the storyline was just good enough to provide hope for future add-ons. If the development team can learn Ffxi gil from the shortcomings of "A Crystalline Prophecy," then perhaps future add-ons can provide us with tastes of the depth and lore we have come to expect from Final Fantasy titles.

Apart from two "Burning Circle" style battles and a single "stealth" mission, none of the missions pose any challenge to a level seventy-five character, as they are comprised of little more than either fighting extremely weak mobs for the sake of special items or running around entire zones searching for items to pick up FFXI GIL.
