Fun joke SE, you funny guys, you. (from the free trial article they posted today)

The game is well over 2 decades old, its janky, it has a learning curve shaped like a brick wall, and a lot of the character of the game comes from it being an unbalanced dumpster fire. Saying that, FFXI is something you only get to enjoy for the first time once. Have fun, take your time.

On a sidenote, really happy with how Hymnus is handling exporting pngs with the background removed, these images have not been edited by me in any way, just, export, done.

the comparison is this font at the top, and Vana'diel UX below it. assets.dtrm.uk/VanaDiel-Scr... Hope you guys get use out of it!

People elsewhere seemed to enjoy this so bugger it, you guys can have it too. I took what I've learned about how FFXI does fonts and turned it into a TTF. It's not perfect, but, it's (in my opinion) better than the Vana'diel UX one floating about, link in the second post

Wait.. does this mean you have wifi or are you on data? I didn't think this post would give me so much to think about...

Dear god giving you access to the internet might've been the worst form of torture your captors could've possibly conceived...

PS: You do need FFXI installed for this to work, also

Xim exists, is FFXI in a browser (it's not really FFXI exactly, it's more like a game using XI's assets and partly the battle system), isn't vibe-coded, and it's actually beautifully well done. Not my project but thought a good example deserved a shout out! xim.pages.dev

Given the dialogue box some more polish to be more FFXI-themed if you select that option. All configurable to any kind of way you want it to display! The speed UI band under the dialogue box also fades out now and the auto-advance has been replaced with a FFXIV styled rotating icon.

Look, it was VERY important to the plot! Don't ask me why it was important to the plot though

Having a job mastered doesn't really mean much, sadly, since someone else can just do it for you

Same ngl, got it working and my first thought was "lets make this awful"

It kinda does actually, not what I was going for but I'll take it!

Font support is now cancelled /j And thank you I'm trying my best!

Dale @vanadiel.network · 23/09/2026

I'm really hoping for a closed beta soon, if i know you and you're interested in helping to test please lemme know if you're interested!

Dale @vanadiel.network · 23/09/2026

This does support FFXIs font and all UI styles too, alongside any TTF!

Nearly a year of development just so I could commit heinous crimes against FFXI

If it helps you feel any better, this is a really common thing and likely not something to worry about, I don't know your medical history or anything but I have this happen all the time, it normally goes away on its own after I've been lay down for a bit.
