Talk:Beastmen

From FFXIclopedia, the free Final Fantasy XI encyclopedia

Just a minor observation: while I don't always understand the complicated narratives of FFXI, I don't think it's exactly true that the Beastmen were created entirely to destroy the Altanic races. Without giving away vital spoilers, perhaps it should be changed to say something a little vaguer.--Pachichachi 00:51, 12 May 2006 (PDT)

How would something along the lines of "Legend says they were created by Promathia to destroy the Five Races of Altana." sound? Maybe adding "However, the discoveries of adventurers have led some to dispute this." Also, this section needs the Mamool Ja, Trolls, Lamiae (Merrows included), and Qiqirn added (I will work on that). I am also working on editing the tier sections and I would like to know whether I include Movalpolos Goblins and/or bugbears to the Moblin tiers and also whether I should include warmachines to the Orcish ranks.--Jopasopa

I think that makes sense. It goes to something that I've brought up on the Wiki forum: should we start creating entries for 'narrative' information (as distinct from game-type information) and should they be spoiler-protected somehow? What would be a good model for relating the two? This entry is very much about the "Vana'diel as a fantasy world," rather than "FFXI as a game system." I'm wondering if there might be a systematic way to distinguish them. --Pachichachi 10:32, 15 May 2006 (PDT)

New beastmen

This area needs to be updated to reflect the addition of at least 2 new Beastmen races in the Treasures of Aht Urhgan expansion: the Qiqirn and the Mamool Ja. --Pachichachi 01:00, 12 May 2006 (PDT)
