  1. I figured I at the very least need to respond to the input I have received here. While I would like to work through all available regions with associated leves, I can't dedicate the time to do so. At least not regularly or at length. So to compensate for this, I thought I'd explain my methodology. Or lack thereof perhaps. Other than the game itself, valuable resources you can use include the gamerescape levemete wiki page, and xivdb's leves list. The gamerescape pages let you view leves offered by a single levemete, while I haven't found any functionality like it on xivdb, their leve descriptions are more accurate than gamerescape's. In the former you can find spelling errors and even some errors that alter the meaning of the text, while in the latter, I have seen no such mistakes. I would recommend writing the leves down, not copying them and pasting, as this allows you to read the description and keep it in your mind while compiling everything. Thank you for your patience and appreciation.
  2. Preface. I come from a tradition of understanding videogame narratives through flavourtext, such as in Demon's Souls and Dark Souls, where the overarching lore is told primarily in environmental design and item descriptions. On behest of a friend, and my own interest, I took the liberty of compiling all leve descriptions from the region of Coerthas Central Highlands. I then summarized the stories told in the categories that seemed most relevant at the time; divided into what one job category contained and then the next and so on. Along with some of my personal interpretations and clarifications. Attached to this post are two PDF files, each containing verbatim copies of the leve descriptions from both Cimeaurant at the Observatory, and Voilinaut from Whitebrim. Consider this an invitation to discussion and growth. Happy hunting for meaning. [align=center]What we learn from Cimeaurant.[/align]
