Simple concept, I think ... I sometimes just like to take SSs because the scenery is pretty.
In one of the valleys in La Theine Plateau while camping Tumbling Truffle:

The waterfall in Jugner Forest:

I just thought this was a "wistful" kind of shot, like she's waiting for someone to come home. This is South Gustaberg.

I think everyone likes this, Yuhtunga Jungle near SSG:

Yes, the horror, the horror, but when you take away the thoughts of death and anarachy, the Dunes really is a tropical paradise:

Not really a special scene but the sunset was gorgeous and it's just another lovely shot I took:

Anyway, post up some of your favorite scenery/pretty shots you've taken over the years.
Yep, dunes really is one of the most beautiful areas in FFXI, sad it's ruined by a bunch of idiots.
Come to think of it, FFXI didn't really have many 'Amazing' areas, they're all fairly realistic, especially compared to COP.

Just check my sig. :biggrin:
I'm not gonna post 2 Gb of pics from all the stuff I like in that place so just go there and spend some quality time. :thumbsup:

A lovely screeny ruined by dead people - I love the island.

Before they stuck an ugly HNM there - I found this by accident.

Though I don't have a screenshot, I really like The ferry in Carpenter's Landing.
The waterfall in Jugner Forest is also very nice.

I lived on that ferry for a long time. For a while there I'd hear the music when I wasn't playing. >.>
FFXI is full of some really nice areas. I love Blueblade Fell. I actually didn't go there until I finished CoP and got the cs there. That made it all the better. I really like the Riverne areas, especially how you can see one island from another. So far most of the ToAU areas seem rather dark and dreary compared to the rest of the game.
though I guess the new areas do give you some good shots from time to time.

Kirsteena where is your first shot taken? I'd like to go there ... provided it's not a death trap for me. (And also provided my game starts working sometime soon!)

Woot! I'm in one of those shots. Being awesome, as per usual.
Anyway, here are three from me. Sorry for the lack of cropping and the chat logs. I lost a bunch of pictures at the end of last year, and so I kind of have to work with what I had sitting around. Plus, I didn't feel like cropping.
I love how beautiful this Purgonurgo Isle is. Kirst and I went there some time ago, just to relax and take a break from the stress of the game.

We also went to the top of Parrdamo Tor, which was fun. I like the view, but my screenshot doesn't do it justice.
http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y16/Ciphersavant/Landscape01.jpg
And it may seem quaint, but I really love LaTheine, and the crag there especially. I still remember way back in '03 when I first saw the Holla Crag. I thought it was the coolest thing I'd ever seen in a game.

Cure 4 for 276hp Murph? That's a Fail +1 in my book. Just goes to show you all tarus are like millionaires. They spend twice as much for the same thing, like you spend twice as much MP for what a cure 3 would do.
Raydeus
03-15-2007, 05:50 PM
A Cure IV for 276 isn't very glorious though. /pokepoke :biggrin:
Edit > Oh man Necropilis beat me to /poke on Murphie ><
Murphie
03-15-2007, 06:03 PM
It was awesome because of how low it was. I wonder why it was so low though? It was forever ago, so I can't really think of why that might have been.
I'm proud to be a +1 fail though, Necropolis. It's better than not failing at all, I say!^^
Raydeus
03-15-2007, 06:32 PM
The guy must've been weakened. /nod
But still, a Fail +1 isn't a Fail +2 so there's still room for improvement. :P
Aksannyi
03-15-2007, 06:33 PM
Unless someone who is weakened has 1400 + HP ... I doubt it.
Murphie
03-15-2007, 07:03 PM
Fail +2 is my goal for 2007, actually. Anyway, moar scenery plz.

Miseraux Coast. I was running through there from Qufim rather than my usual OP or Ring to the safehold, and was struck by the colours.

I have a few more but they are so small you can't see. I will post some from my xbox when I get a chance.
The rainbow pic is a mess up, I was drg/bst looking for an NM and had a bat charmed but somehow it didn't make it into the pic.
Akashimo
03-16-2007, 07:55 AM
Those are just closeups of you. You aren't scenery! I try to balance both when i take screen shots ;-; Besides, the scenery does look nice in those areas don't ya agree. Oh I just remember I got this nice series of windsday full moon reflection in that pool or pond thing in Ro'Maeve I'mm post a slide show link to later @.@; Heh, originally, I only took those to make a composite image in photoshop, but never took the time to actually do it v.v;

I'm relatively sure I took these pictures upon the first time entering a Promyvion, though the time stamp shows I took these pics about 5 months ago and my memory has faded a little since then so I could be wrong.
Either way, these screenies always looked cool to me, and for a while one of them was my desktop wallpaper.

lol wonderful group of pictures. I had my first account on Bahamut, and i knew Kirsteena but i dare not say my name she left me to die in Delkfutt's tower lol.
Anyways she has some nice screens i really like the water way one. Besides all the dead people.

It really is considering its age. Especially w/ the power of pc now you can max everything and it'll look gorgeous~
I can't wait to get a MBP and see what it looks like on there. My pc is just mediocre now heheh..

Yeh my pc is pretty average and the game lags at some points, but the scenary is the best part of the game for me.
I like waiting on the dunes for a party, sitting with my flag up looking at the sand and sea, tis immense.
I'm going to, at some point, sort my pc out for the best specs needed for FFXI to see what its like.

I had my account for over I year and couldnt use it, dunno why. When I saw this thread I decided to open a new one just to be able to post!.
For me, is not the place as it is the time of the day. The most simple place can turn into paradise at certain moments. I took this one sometime ago, nothig like a full moon, anywhere....

I instantly felt in love with this view at Horlais Peak

But OH MY GOD! I have to thank Murphie, in fact I did :). Cause even I bought the manaclipper ticket like 4 months ago, I never took the time to go to Putgonorgo. Yesterday I did and, if I could have a Mog House and AH here, I probably wont do anything else than sitting and fishing, lol. :thumbsup:

Then go to File manager at the playonline viewer, go to Screen shots and open one. You´ll see the "attach to mail" button so simply attach the Sc´s (up to ten) you want to send to your email. Compose your email and that´s it. :).
