Proposal for an update...
Here's a more practical usage of my new template. Commence Discussion.
Looks fine, but I think that if you're going to include items in the image area, they should only be the ones that are "important" to advancing the storyline. (This isn't an issue with the new usage you most recently showed, but more so with the link to that g10 quest you showed earlier. Only bringing this up now to answer a question that I'm sure someone is going to inevitably ask.) For this g10 quest, only the actual clues should be shown since they're key to advancing the plot. The alchemy suit and the like shouldn't be included.
I think that Lexis' version is now perfect, assuming it looks fine in smaller resolution screens as well as large.
One comment on the image discussion, do we want to separate the G13+ NPC portrait section and the item image section? Or should we include both in the same field? I'm not clear on what to do with that as I am currently working on writing the pages for Drama/Saga 2.
Item + NPC? Hardly any NPCs image showed up in G13~16. Did you mean G17 and onward? If items exist, exclude NPCs and vice versa.
Er, I did G13-16 a long time ago, but I am pretty sure NPC images showed up in G13-16. Remember when you open a quest and there is a smaller version of an NPC portrait in the top left corner of the quest scroll? Those, which I personally use as frames of references to search through quests in a mainstream (like how you suggested people do with item images). So what you're saying is, if there is an NPC portrait use the items, and if there are items, use the NPC portrait? Every G13+ quest has a NPC portrait. The only quests that don't are skill quests, event quests, and some raid quests. (Though I think most of them have that Town Guard NPC? Not sure.) What should be done if there is both? (If the quest DOESN'T have an image in the top left, which so far hasn't happened, I don't include the NPC image, the NPC image isn't just of a random NPC used in the quest.)
Oh you mean in the quest briefing? We could just leave that out. It's basically who assigned the quest to you. but if you want, we could incorporate it into the briefing.
But it also helps distinguish the difference between different quests, not just items. Especially since most of these new saga quests seem to only have items inside shadow missions, if any items at all. How would you incorporate it into the briefing? Personally, I think it should be somewhere in there, and not left out. But I just want to know where I should put it.
Kettle...black...8D...
Ok serious now. Should I add my parsing code into your template?
o-o go ahead. (cleaning talk notifications lol @@)
also Generation 9 is a good example where NPC names exceed anything else in a couple instances. Though everything after g10's page simply has it listed with commas :s...
