&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
== Prepare FFXI ==&lt;br /&gt;
To play on FFXI Vana&#039;diel Memories Server we need to install the &#039;&#039;&#039;new FFXI client&#039;&#039;&#039; present on Playonline website. Follow step by step all the instructions and you will be able to play. If there are problems try to check the common issue page.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== FFXI new client installation ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Download and install the game&lt;br /&gt;
* Copy patch files&lt;br /&gt;
* Copy xiloader&lt;br /&gt;
* Install Windower&lt;br /&gt;
* Modify or replace settings.xml file&lt;br /&gt;
* Play and have fun&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let see now in the specific&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== 1 - FFXI client installation. ==&lt;br /&gt;
To play FFXI on Vana&#039;diel memories or in the official SquareEnix servers, you need to download and install the latest FFXI &#039;&#039;&#039;client&#039;&#039;&#039; available for free on the Playonline Website. If you are actually playing on the official server you are almost ready to play on Vana&#039;diel memories, go to the step 3. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To speed up the process we attach the download link.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Download The Ultimate Collection Seekers Edition. ===&lt;br /&gt;

{| class=&amp;quot;wikitable&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
|- valign=&amp;quot;top&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
|*&lt;br /&gt;
|Please be sure to download all of the files listed above to the same folder.&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
After downloaded you can install the game, then go to the next step.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;REMEMBER&#039;&#039;&#039;: To be able to play to FFXI you have to install the game with the new installer. If you have an old installation on your pc, probably the game won&#039;t work in the official server too. Uninstall completely the game and reinstall from the new installer downloaded from Square Enix website. This is needed to play in our server and also in the official SquareEnix server.&lt;br /&gt;
----&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== 2 - Update FFXI. ==&lt;br /&gt;
To play (anywhere) you need to update POL and FFXI.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To update POL and FFXI you can simply log in the game on the SquareEnix official server.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You can choose to manual update FFXI downloading the update files (and then the memories patch). Using the manual update you will do it much faster.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Download the updates&#039;&#039;&#039; File with all patches, updated at 23 feb 2016 in a single RAR : file1 (2.10 GB)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And the Last update file, updated 5 Apr 2016. file2 (86.7 MB)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Unrar the files in the game folder:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;C:\Program Files (x86)\PlayOnline\SquareEnix\FINAL FANTASY XI\&#039;&#039; (if you don&#039;t changed it during the installation)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Download the&#039;&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&#039;Memories Patch:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/4nanix5odxs68yhm89aks/FFXI-UpdatePatch.zip?rlkey=sqhhmb3i5v5j3fzpm3zeiotqx&amp;amp;st=pn6evt3a&amp;amp;dl=1 Memories Patch]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
extract the archive in the game folder (as the other patches) and Check Files.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Launch Playonline and use &amp;quot;Check Files&amp;quot; and chose to check Pol, then Final Fantasy XI game files. When the Check Files ends, click on Repair Files (it can take so long)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== 3 - Last setup for FFXI Vana&#039;Diel Memories Server. ==&lt;br /&gt;
FFXI is ready, now we need to configure the client to play on Vana&#039;Diel Memories. You will need Windower and XIloader.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Download XIloader: [https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/tbp4letizihbfk77naytp/xiloader.zip?rlkey=08ey9qgj00f4ee8tsgmhibtot&amp;amp;st=1bnqp343&amp;amp;dl=1 xiloader]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Extract and Copy XIloader.exe in the POL folder &#039;&#039;C:\Program Files (x86)\PlayOnline\SquareEnix\PlayOnlineViewer&#039;&#039; (if you not changed it during the installation).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Click the right mouse button and choose &#039;&#039;Properties&#039;&#039; then chose &#039;&#039;Compatibility&#039;&#039; and select &#039;&#039;&#039;Run this program as Administrator&#039;&#039;&#039;, then OK and close.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Download Windower 4: [https://www.windower.net/ Windower4]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Install Windower 4 then launch it. Click on the  &#039;&#039;&#039;+&#039;&#039;&#039;  in lower left (the green zone) to create a new profile. In the upper side, where it says &amp;quot;&#039;&#039;New Profile 1&#039;&#039;&amp;quot; change it with another name (like &amp;quot;Memories&amp;quot;). Click on the upper-right arrow to back in the main window. If you want, you can also click the pin icon to create an icon on your desktop. When done, exit Windower.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now you need to modify the configuration file to make the game point to Memories server. If you prefer, you can replace it with our configuration file attached (extract): Settings&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Extract in Windower 4 folder: C:\Program Files (x86)\Windower (if you don&#039;t changed it during the installation) .&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you choose to modify the Windower settings file Go in C:\Program Files (x86)\Windower\ folder (if you don&#039;t changed it during the installation) Find the file settings.xml and open with Notepad. Find the part starting with &amp;lt;profile name=&amp;quot;Memories&amp;quot;&amp;gt; until &amp;lt;/profile&amp;gt; , copy and replace with the follow:&lt;br /&gt;
   &amp;lt;profile name=&amp;quot;Memories&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;lt;consolekey&amp;gt;Insert&amp;lt;/consolekey&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;lt;uiscale&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/uiscale&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;lt;args&amp;gt;--server server.ffxi-memories.online&amp;lt;/args&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;lt;executable&amp;gt;xiloader.exe&amp;lt;/executable&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  &amp;lt;/profile&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Save and close the file. Now you are ready to create your account in Vana&#039;diel Memories Server.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Launch Windower and click on Memories profile, or click on the Memories icon in your desktop if you created it(with pin button in Windower).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If everything is working fine, XIloader window will open like in picture.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The prompt will ask you to create your account or login. Press 2 to create your account.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now insert your Username and your Password(twice).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When done, FFXI will finally start and you can create your character.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you want to transfer your character from another server you must apply here: transfer&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== For your next Login. ====&lt;br /&gt;
In the next login to FFXI Vana&#039;Diel Memories Server, XIloader will ask for your Username and Password again. You can insert your data in Windower settings to speedup the process and login automatically.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Locate the settings.xml in &#039;&#039;C:\Program Files (x86)\Windower\&#039;&#039; folder (if you not changed it during the installation) and open it with notepad (like did before)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
find the row&lt;br /&gt;
  &amp;lt;args&amp;gt;--server server.ffxi-memories.online&amp;lt;/args&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
and replace it with&lt;br /&gt;
  &amp;lt;args&amp;gt;--server server.ffxi-memories.online --user &amp;lt;yourusername&amp;gt; --pass &amp;lt;yourpassword&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/args&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
If you created the icon, you can add your username and password in the icon&#039;s properties &amp;gt; Shortcut &amp;gt; Target, you will find:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
C:\Program Files (x86)\Windower\windower.exe -p=&amp;quot;Memories&amp;quot; --executable=xiloader.exe -args=&amp;quot; --server server.ffxi-memories.online&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Add your data like this:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
C:\Program Files (x86)\Windower\windower.exe -p=&amp;quot;Memories&amp;quot; --executable=xiloader.exe -args=&amp;quot; --server server.ffxi-memories.online --user &amp;lt;yourusername&amp;gt; --pass &amp;lt;yourpassword&amp;gt;&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Of course change &amp;lt;yourusername&amp;gt; with your username and &amp;lt;yourpassword&amp;gt; with your password&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you want another account you can simply create another profile in Windower. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;

* Copy patch files&lt;br /&gt;
* Copy xiloader&lt;br /&gt;
* Install Windower&lt;br /&gt;
* Modify or replace settings.xml file&lt;br /&gt;
* Play and have fun&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let see now in the specific&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== 1 - FFXI client installation. ==&lt;br /&gt;
To play FFXI on Vana&#039;diel memories or in the official SquareEnix servers, you need to download and install the latest FFXI &#039;&#039;&#039;client&#039;&#039;&#039; available for free on the Playonline Website. If you are actually playing on the official server you are almost ready to play on Vana&#039;diel memories, go to the step 3. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To speed up the process we attach the download link.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Download The Ultimate Collection Seekers Edition. ===&lt;br /&gt;
{| class=&amp;quot;wikitable&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
|- valign=&amp;quot;top&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
|&amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;http://gdl.square-enix.com/ffxi/download/eu/FFXISETUP.exe&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;http://gdl.square-enix.com/ffxi/download/eu/FINALFANTASYXI.Data.001&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;http://gdl.square-enix.com/ffxi/download/eu/FINALFANTASYXI.Data.002&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;http://gdl.square-enix.com/ffxi/download/eu/FINALFANTASYXI.Data.003&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
{| class=&amp;quot;wikitable&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
|- valign=&amp;quot;top&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
|*&lt;br /&gt;
|Please be sure to download all of the files listed above to the same folder.&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
After downloaded you can install the game, then go to the next step.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;REMEMBER&#039;&#039;&#039;: To be able to play to FFXI you have to install the game with the new installer. If you have an old installation on your pc, probably the game won&#039;t work in the official server too. Uninstall completely the game and reinstall from the new installer downloaded from Square Enix website. This is needed to play in our server and also in the official SquareEnix server.&lt;br /&gt;
----&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== 2 - Update FFXI. ==&lt;br /&gt;
To play (anywhere) you need to update POL and FFXI.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To update POL and FFXI you can simply log in the game on the SquareEnix official server.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You can choose to manual update FFXI downloading the update files (and then the memories patch). Using the manual update you will do it much faster.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Download the updates&#039;&#039;&#039; File with all patches, updated at 23 feb 2016 in a single RAR : file1 (2.10 GB)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And the Last update file, updated 5 Apr 2016. file2 (86.7 MB)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Unrar the files in the game folder:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;C:\Program Files (x86)\PlayOnline\SquareEnix\FINAL FANTASY XI\&#039;&#039; (if you don&#039;t changed it during the installation)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Download the&#039;&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&#039;Memories Patch:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/4nanix5odxs68yhm89aks/FFXI-UpdatePatch.zip?rlkey=sqhhmb3i5v5j3fzpm3zeiotqx&amp;amp;st=pn6evt3a&amp;amp;dl=1 Memories Patch]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
extract the archive in the game folder (as the other patches) and Check Files.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Launch Playonline and use &amp;quot;Check Files&amp;quot; and chose to check Pol, then Final Fantasy XI game files. When the Check Files ends, click on Repair Files (it can take so long)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== 3 - Last setup for FFXI Vana&#039;Diel Memories Server. ==&lt;br /&gt;
FFXI is ready, now we need to configure the client to play on Vana&#039;Diel Memories. You will need Windower and XIloader.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Download XIloader: [https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/tbp4letizihbfk77naytp/xiloader.zip?rlkey=08ey9qgj00f4ee8tsgmhibtot&amp;amp;st=1bnqp343&amp;amp;dl=0 xiloader]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Extract and Copy XIloader.exe in the POL folder &#039;&#039;C:\Program Files (x86)\PlayOnline\SquareEnix\PlayOnlineViewer&#039;&#039; (if you not changed it during the installation).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Click the right mouse button and choose &#039;&#039;Properties&#039;&#039; then chose &#039;&#039;Compatibility&#039;&#039; and select &#039;&#039;&#039;Run this program as Administrator&#039;&#039;&#039;, then OK and close.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Download Windower 4: [https://www.windower.net/ Windower4]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Install Windower 4 then launch it. Click on the  &#039;&#039;&#039;+&#039;&#039;&#039;  in lower left (the green zone) to create a new profile. In the upper side, where it says &amp;quot;&#039;&#039;New Profile 1&#039;&#039;&amp;quot; change it with another name (like &amp;quot;Memories&amp;quot;). Click on the upper-right arrow to back in the main window. If you want, you can also click the pin icon to create an icon on your desktop. When done, exit Windower.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now you need to modify the configuration file to make the game point to Memories server. If you prefer, you can replace it with our configuration file attached (extract): Settings&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Extract in Windower 4 folder: C:\Program Files (x86)\Windower (if you don&#039;t changed it during the installation) .&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you choose to modify the Windower settings file Go in C:\Program Files (x86)\Windower\ folder (if you don&#039;t changed it during the installation) Find the file settings.xml and open with Notepad. Find the part starting with &amp;lt;profile name=&amp;quot;Memories&amp;quot;&amp;gt; until &amp;lt;/profile&amp;gt; , copy and replace with the follow:&lt;br /&gt;
   &amp;lt;profile name=&amp;quot;Memories&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;lt;consolekey&amp;gt;Insert&amp;lt;/consolekey&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;lt;uiscale&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/uiscale&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;lt;args&amp;gt;--server server.ffxi-memories.online&amp;lt;/args&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;lt;executable&amp;gt;xiloader.exe&amp;lt;/executable&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  &amp;lt;/profile&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Save and close the file. Now you are ready to create your account in Vana&#039;diel Memories Server.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Launch Windower and click on Memories profile, or click on the Memories icon in your desktop if you created it(with pin button in Windower).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If everything is working fine, XIloader window will open like in picture.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The prompt will ask you to create your account or login. Press 2 to create your account.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now insert your Username and your Password(twice).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When done, FFXI will finally start and you can create your character.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you want to transfer your character from another server you must apply here: transfer&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== For your next Login. ====&lt;br /&gt;
In the next login to FFXI Vana&#039;Diel Memories Server, XIloader will ask for your Username and Password again. You can insert your data in Windower settings to speedup the process and login automatically.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Locate the settings.xml in &#039;&#039;C:\Program Files (x86)\Windower\&#039;&#039; folder (if you not changed it during the installation) and open it with notepad (like did before)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
find the row&lt;br /&gt;
  &amp;lt;args&amp;gt;--server server.ffxi-memories.online&amp;lt;/args&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
and replace it with&lt;br /&gt;
  &amp;lt;args&amp;gt;--server server.ffxi-memories.online --user &amp;lt;yourusername&amp;gt; --pass &amp;lt;yourpassword&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/args&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
If you created the icon, you can add your username and password in the icon&#039;s properties &amp;gt; Shortcut &amp;gt; Target, you will find:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
C:\Program Files (x86)\Windower\windower.exe -p=&amp;quot;Memories&amp;quot; --executable=xiloader.exe -args=&amp;quot; --server server.ffxi-memories.online&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Add your data like this:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
C:\Program Files (x86)\Windower\windower.exe -p=&amp;quot;Memories&amp;quot; --executable=xiloader.exe -args=&amp;quot; --server server.ffxi-memories.online --user &amp;lt;yourusername&amp;gt; --pass &amp;lt;yourpassword&amp;gt;&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
== Prepare FFXI ==&lt;br /&gt;
To play on FFXI Vana&#039;diel Memories Server we need to install the &#039;&#039;&#039;new FFXI client&#039;&#039;&#039; present on Playonline website. Follow step by step all the instructions and you will be able to play. If there are problems try to check the common issue page.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== FFXI new client installation ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Download and install the game&lt;br /&gt;
* Copy patch files&lt;br /&gt;
* Copy xiloader&lt;br /&gt;
* Install Windower&lt;br /&gt;
* Modify or replace settings.xml file&lt;br /&gt;
* Play and have fun&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let see now in the specific&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== 1 - FFXI client installation. ==&lt;br /&gt;
To play FFXI on Vana&#039;diel memories or in the official SquareEnix servers, you need to download and install the latest FFXI &#039;&#039;&#039;client&#039;&#039;&#039; available for free on the Playonline Website. If you are actually playing on the official server you are almost ready to play on Vana&#039;diel memories, go to the step 3. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To speed up the process we attach the download link.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Download The Ultimate Collection Seekers Edition. ===&lt;br /&gt;
{| class=&amp;quot;wikitable&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
|- valign=&amp;quot;top&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
|&amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;http://gdl.square-enix.com/ffxi/download/eu/FFXISETUP.exe&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;http://gdl.square-enix.com/ffxi/download/eu/FINALFANTASYXI.Data.001&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;http://gdl.square-enix.com/ffxi/download/eu/FINALFANTASYXI.Data.002&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;http://gdl.square-enix.com/ffxi/download/eu/FINALFANTASYXI.Data.003&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
{| class=&amp;quot;wikitable&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
|- valign=&amp;quot;top&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
|*&lt;br /&gt;
|Please be sure to download all of the files listed above to the same folder.&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
After downloaded you can install the game, then go to the next step.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;REMEMBER&#039;&#039;&#039;: To be able to play to FFXI you have to install the game with the new installer. If you have an old installation on your pc, probably the game won&#039;t work in the official server too. Uninstall completely the game and reinstall from the new installer downloaded from Square Enix website. This is needed to play in our server and also in the official SquareEnix server.&lt;br /&gt;
----&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== 2 - Update FFXI. ==&lt;br /&gt;
To play (anywhere) you need to update POL and FFXI.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To update POL and FFXI you can simply log in the game on the SquareEnix official server.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You can choose to manual update FFXI downloading the update files (and then the memories patch). Using the manual update you will do it much faster.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Download the updates&#039;&#039;&#039; File with all patches, updated at 23 feb 2016 in a single RAR : file1 (2.10 GB)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And the Last update file, updated 5 Apr 2016. file2 (86.7 MB)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Unrar the files in the game folder:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;C:\Program Files (x86)\PlayOnline\SquareEnix\FINAL FANTASY XI\&#039;&#039; (if you don&#039;t changed it during the installation)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Download the&#039;&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&#039;Memories Patch:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Pantasia Patch&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
extract the archive in the game folder (as the other patches) and Check Files.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Launch Playonline and use &amp;quot;Check Files&amp;quot; and chose to check Pol, then Final Fantasy XI game files. When the Check Files ends, click on Repair Files (it can take so long)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== 3 - Last setup for FFXI Vana&#039;Diel Memories Server. ==&lt;br /&gt;
FFXI is ready, now we need to configure the client to play on Vana&#039;Diel Memories. You will need Windower and XIloader.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Download XIloader: xiloader&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Copy XIloader.exe in the POL folder &#039;&#039;C:\Program Files (x86)\PlayOnline\SquareEnix\PlayOnlineViewer&#039;&#039; (if you not changed it during the installation).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Click the right mouse button and choose &#039;&#039;Properties&#039;&#039; then chose &#039;&#039;Compatibility&#039;&#039; and select &#039;&#039;&#039;Run this program as Administrator&#039;&#039;&#039;, then OK and close.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Download Windower 4: Windower4&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Install Windower 4 then launch it. Click on the  &#039;&#039;&#039;+&#039;&#039;&#039;  in lower left (the green zone) to create a new profile. In the upper side, where it says &amp;quot;&#039;&#039;New Profile 1&#039;&#039;&amp;quot; change it with another name (like &amp;quot;Memories&amp;quot;). Click on the upper-right arrow to back in the main window. If you want, you can also click the pin icon to create an icon on your desktop. When done, exit Windower.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now you need to modify the configuration file to make the game point to Memories server. If you prefer, you can replace it with our configuration file attached (extract): Settings&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Extract in Windower 4 folder: C:\Program Files (x86)\Windower (if you don&#039;t changed it during the installation) .&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you choose to modify the Windower settings file Go in C:\Program Files (x86)\Windower\ folder (if you don&#039;t changed it during the installation) Find the file settings.xml and open with Notepad. Find the part starting with &amp;lt;profile name=&amp;quot;Memories&amp;quot;&amp;gt; until &amp;lt;/profile&amp;gt; , copy and replace with the follow:&lt;br /&gt;
   &amp;lt;profile name=&amp;quot;Memories&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;lt;consolekey&amp;gt;Insert&amp;lt;/consolekey&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;lt;uiscale&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/uiscale&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;lt;args&amp;gt;--server ffxi-server.eu&amp;lt;/args&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;lt;executable&amp;gt;xiloader.exe&amp;lt;/executable&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  &amp;lt;/profile&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Save and close the file. Now you are ready to create your account in Vana&#039;diel Memories Server.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Launch Windower and click on Memories profile, or click on the Memories icon in your desktop if you created it(with pin button in Windower).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If everything is working fine, XIloader window will open like in picture.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The prompt will ask you to create your account or login. Press 2 to create your account.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now insert your Username and your Password(twice).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When done, FFXI will finally start and you can create your character.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you want to transfer your character from another server you must apply here: transfer&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== For your next Login. ====&lt;br /&gt;
In the next login to FFXI Vana&#039;Diel Memories Server, XIloader will ask for your Username and Password again. You can insert your data in Windower settings to speedup the process and login automatically.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Locate the settings.xml in &#039;&#039;C:\Program Files (x86)\Windower\&#039;&#039; folder (if you not changed it during the installation) and open it with notepad (like did before)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
find the row&lt;br /&gt;
  &amp;lt;args&amp;gt;--server server.ffxi-memories.online&amp;lt;/args&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
and replace it with&lt;br /&gt;
  &amp;lt;args&amp;gt;--server server.ffxi-memories.online --user &amp;lt;yourusername&amp;gt; --pass &amp;lt;yourpassword&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/args&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
If you created the icon, you can add your username and password in the icon&#039;s properties &amp;gt; Shortcut &amp;gt; Target, you will find:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
C:\Program Files (x86)\Windower\windower.exe -p=&amp;quot;Memories&amp;quot; --executable=xiloader.exe -args=&amp;quot; --server server.ffxi-memories.online&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Add your data like this:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
C:\Program Files (x86)\Windower\windower.exe -p=&amp;quot;Memories&amp;quot; --executable=xiloader.exe -args=&amp;quot; --server server.ffxi-memories.online --user &amp;lt;yourusername&amp;gt; --pass &amp;lt;yourpassword&amp;gt;&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Of course change &amp;lt;yourusername&amp;gt; with your username and &amp;lt;yourpassword&amp;gt; with your password&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you want another account you can simply create another profile in Windower. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
== FFXI new client installation ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Download and install the game&lt;br /&gt;
* Copy patch files&lt;br /&gt;
* Copy xiloader&lt;br /&gt;
* Install Windower&lt;br /&gt;
* Modify or replace settings.xml file&lt;br /&gt;
* Play and have fun&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let see now in the specific&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== 1 - FFXI client installation. ==&lt;br /&gt;
To play FFXI on Vana&#039;diel memories or in the official SquareEnix servers, you need to download and install the latest FFXI &#039;&#039;&#039;client&#039;&#039;&#039; available for free on the Playonline Website. If you are actually playing on the official server you are almost ready to play on Vana&#039;diel memories, go to the step 3. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To speed up the process we attach the download link.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Download The Ultimate Collection Seekers Edition. ===&lt;br /&gt;
{| class=&amp;quot;wikitable&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
|- valign=&amp;quot;top&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
|&amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;http://gdl.square-enix.com/ffxi/download/eu/FFXISETUP.exe&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;http://gdl.square-enix.com/ffxi/download/eu/FINALFANTASYXI.Data.001&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;http://gdl.square-enix.com/ffxi/download/eu/FINALFANTASYXI.Data.002&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;http://gdl.square-enix.com/ffxi/download/eu/FINALFANTASYXI.Data.003&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
{| class=&amp;quot;wikitable&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
|- valign=&amp;quot;top&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
|*&lt;br /&gt;
|Please be sure to download all of the files listed above to the same folder.&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
After downloaded you can install the game, then go to the next step.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;REMEMBER&#039;&#039;&#039;: To be able to play to FFXI you have to install the game with the new installer. If you have an old installation on your pc, probably the game won&#039;t work in the official server too. Uninstall completely the game and reinstall from the new installer downloaded from Square Enix website. This is needed to play in our server and also in the official SquareEnix server.&lt;br /&gt;
----&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== 2 - Update FFXI. ==&lt;br /&gt;
To play (anywhere) you need to update POL and FFXI.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To update POL and FFXI you can simply log in the game on the SquareEnix official server.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You can choose to manual update FFXI downloading the update files (and then the memories patch). Using the manual update you will do it much faster.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Download the updates&#039;&#039;&#039; File with all patches, updated at 23 feb 2016 in a single RAR : file1 (2.10 GB)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And the Last update file, updated 5 Apr 2016. file2 (86.7 MB)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Unrar the files in the game folder:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;C:\Program Files (x86)\PlayOnline\SquareEnix\FINAL FANTASY XI\&#039;&#039; (if you don&#039;t changed it during the installation)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Download the&#039;&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&#039;Memories Patch:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Pantasia Patch&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
extract the archive in the game folder (as the other patches) and Check Files.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Launch Playonline and use &amp;quot;Check Files&amp;quot; and chose to check Pol, then Final Fantasy XI game files. When the Check Files ends, click on Repair Files (it can take so long)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== 3 - Last setup for FFXI Vana&#039;Diel Memories Server. ==&lt;br /&gt;
FFXI is ready, now we need to configure the client to play on Vana&#039;Diel Memories. You will need Windower and XIloader.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Download XIloader: xiloader&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Copy XIloader.exe in the POL folder &#039;&#039;C:\Program Files (x86)\PlayOnline\SquareEnix\PlayOnlineViewer&#039;&#039; (if you not changed it during the installation).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Click the right mouse button and choose &#039;&#039;Properties&#039;&#039; then chose &#039;&#039;Compatibility&#039;&#039; and select &#039;&#039;&#039;Run this program as Administrator&#039;&#039;&#039;, then OK and close.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Download Windower 4: Windower4&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Install Windower 4 then launch it. Click on the  &#039;&#039;&#039;+&#039;&#039;&#039;  in lower left (the green zone) to create a new profile. In the upper side, where it says &amp;quot;&#039;&#039;New Profile 1&#039;&#039;&amp;quot; change it with another name (like &amp;quot;Memories&amp;quot;). Click on the upper-right arrow to back in the main window. If you want, you can also click the pin icon to create an icon on your desktop. When done, exit Windower.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now you need to modify the configuration file to make the game point to Memories server. If you prefer, you can replace it with our configuration file attached (extract): Settings&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Extract in Windower 4 folder: C:\Program Files (x86)\Windower (if you don&#039;t changed it during the installation) .&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you choose to modify the Windower settings file Go in C:\Program Files (x86)\Windower\ folder (if you don&#039;t changed it during the installation) Find the file settings.xml and open with Notepad. Find the part starting with &amp;lt;profile name=&amp;quot;Memories&amp;quot;&amp;gt; until &amp;lt;/profile&amp;gt; , copy and replace with the follow:&lt;br /&gt;
   &amp;lt;profile name=&amp;quot;Memories&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;lt;consolekey&amp;gt;Insert&amp;lt;/consolekey&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;lt;uiscale&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/uiscale&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;lt;args&amp;gt;--server ffxi-server.eu&amp;lt;/args&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;lt;executable&amp;gt;xiloader.exe&amp;lt;/executable&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  &amp;lt;/profile&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Save and close the file. Now you are ready to create your account in Vana&#039;diel Memories Server.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Launch Windower and click on Memories profile, or click on the Memories icon in your desktop if you created it(with pin button in Windower).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If everything is working fine, XIloader window will open like in picture.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The prompt will ask you to create your account or login. Press 2 to create your account.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now insert your Username and your Password(twice).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When done, FFXI will finally start and you can create your character.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you want to transfer your character from another server you must apply here: transfer&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== For your next Login. ====&lt;br /&gt;
In the next login to FFXI Vana&#039;Diel Memories Server, XIloader will ask for your Username and Password again. You can insert your data in Windower settings to speedup the process and login automatically.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Locate the settings.xml in &#039;&#039;C:\Program Files (x86)\Windower\&#039;&#039; folder (if you not changed it during the installation) and open it with notepad (like did before)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
find the row&lt;br /&gt;
  &amp;lt;args&amp;gt;--server ffxi-server.eu&amp;lt;/args&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
and replace it with&lt;br /&gt;
  &amp;lt;args&amp;gt;--server ffxi-server.eu --user &amp;lt;yourusername&amp;gt; --pass &amp;lt;yourpassword&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/args&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
If you created the icon, you can add your username and password in the icon&#039;s properties &amp;gt; Shortcut &amp;gt; Target, you will find:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
C:\Program Files (x86)\Windower\windower.exe -p=&amp;quot;Memories&amp;quot; --executable=xiloader.exe -args=&amp;quot; --server ffxi-server.eu&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Add your data like this:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
C:\Program Files (x86)\Windower\windower.exe -p=&amp;quot;Memories&amp;quot; --executable=xiloader.exe -args=&amp;quot; --server ffxi-server.eu --user &amp;lt;yourusername&amp;gt; --pass &amp;lt;yourpassword&amp;gt;&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Of course change &amp;lt;yourusername&amp;gt; with your username and &amp;lt;yourpassword&amp;gt; with your password&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you want another account you can simply create another profile in Windower. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For this game you can find every information in the page FFXIclopedia [6]&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;= Server Rules — FFXI Vana&#039;Diel Memories =&lt;br /&gt;
Welcome to &#039;&#039;&#039;Vana&#039;Diel Memories&#039;&#039;&#039;! This is an unofficial, passion-driven private server dedicated to reliving the best moments of Final Fantasy XI. Our main goal is to provide a relaxed, fun, and nostalgic environment to enjoy the game up to Level 99, free from the high-stress demands of retail or massive commercial servers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Our rules are simple and built entirely on common sense and mutual respect.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 1. Play Your Way (Multi-Boxing Policy) ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Multi-Boxing:&#039;&#039;&#039; You are welcome to log into multiple accounts simultaneously to build your own party, low-man content, or progress at your own pace. All we ask is that you be mindful of others—please do not monopolize active camps or bosses with an excessive number of characters if other players are waiting to participate.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Account Responsibility:&#039;&#039;&#039; You are fully responsible for the security of your own accounts. Staff members will not be able to intervene or restore items/characters lost due to shared login credentials.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 2. Third-Party Clients &amp;amp; Automation (Windower / Ashita) ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Client Prerequisites:&#039;&#039;&#039; Since this is an unofficial server, using &#039;&#039;&#039;Windower 4&#039;&#039;&#039; or &#039;&#039;&#039;Ashita v4&#039;&#039;&#039; is required to connect and play properly.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Add-ons &amp;amp; Plugins:&#039;&#039;&#039; You are fully permitted and encouraged to use standard plugins and add-ons (such as maps, UI enhancements, gear-swapping tools, and performance tweaks) to modernize your gameplay experience.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Full Automation:&#039;&#039;&#039; The only restriction is the use of heavy, fully automated gameplay bots (e.g., unattended 24/7 fishing, crafting, or NM farming bots). We ask you to avoid these to protect server stability and keep the local economy fair.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 3. Community &amp;amp; Respect ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;No Drama:&#039;&#039;&#039; We are a close-knit community. There is no need to fight over experience camps or Notorious Monsters. Talk to each other in chat, take turns, or even better—&#039;&#039;&#039;team up and party together!&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Behavior:&#039;&#039;&#039; Public chat is relaxed, but toxic behavior, severe harassment, or hate speech will not be tolerated. We are all here to unwind, relax, and escape the real world for a bit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 4. Bugs, Glitches &amp;amp; Support ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Reporting:&#039;&#039;&#039; The LandSandBoat emulation framework is fantastic, but it is a continuous work in progress. If you encounter a broken quest, a bugged ability, or a map issue, please &#039;&#039;&#039;reach out to a GM or report it in our Discord server&#039;&#039;&#039; so we can look into it.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Exploits:&#039;&#039;&#039; If you happen to find a critical bug or an exploit (such as item duplication or broken gil loops), please do not abuse it. Report it directly to the staff, and your honesty will be highly appreciated.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;💬 &#039;&#039;&#039;In short:&#039;&#039;&#039; Respect your fellow players, keep things fair, and focus on having fun. Welcome back to Vana&#039;Diel!&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;br /&gt;
This summary is targeted at a &#039;&#039;&#039;Level 99 cap environment&#039;&#039;&#039; (Seekers of Adoulin / Rhapsodies of Vana&#039;Diel era), highlighting the built-in functional capabilities versus what remains broken or missing. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Core Systems &amp;amp; Mechanics ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== What Works ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Combat Essentials:&#039;&#039;&#039; Physical and magical damage calculations, accurate enmity scaling, skillchains, magic bursts, and attribute modifiers are highly precise.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Standard Leveling:&#039;&#039;&#039; Level Caps up to 99, Merit Points, and Limit Break quests are fully functional.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Economy &amp;amp; Travel:&#039;&#039;&#039; Standard auction houses (with custom bot scripts if enabled), chocobos, regional outposts, airships, and ferries operate as intended.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Player Mechanics:&#039;&#039;&#039; Signet, Sanction, Sigil, Ionis, and standard food/drink effects work perfectly.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Crafting &amp;amp; Gathering:&#039;&#039;&#039; All main crafting guilds (up to 110 cap), standard synthesis, logging, harvesting, mining, and fishing mechanics are implemented.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== What Does Not Work / Partial ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Item Enmeshment &amp;amp; Reforging:&#039;&#039;&#039; High-tier level 99 re-forging systems (e.g., upgrading Artifact/Relic/Empyrean armor to +1, +2, +3 via NPCs like Monisette) are highly experimental or completely unscripted stock.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Inventory Edge Cases:&#039;&#039;&#039; Item delivery boxes, specific storage slip systems, or complex wardrobe interactions can occasionally face client desynchronization issues.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Monsters &amp;amp; Linking:&#039;&#039;&#039; Specific advanced mob pathfinding configurations (e.g., particular Treant/Sapling link radiuses or tracking behavior) are missing or require ongoing database tweaks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Character Jobs (Level 1–99) ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== What Works ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;The Original 15 Jobs:&#039;&#039;&#039; Warrior, Monk, White Mage, Black Mage, Red Mage, Thief, Paladin, Dark Knight, Beastmaster, Bard, Ranger, Samurai, Ninja, Dragoon, and Summoner are mature and mostly accurate up to their level 99 abilities and weapon skills.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Treasures of Aht Urhgan Jobs:&#039;&#039;&#039; Blue Mage (spell learning and setting), Corsair (phantom rolls), and Puppetmaster (automaton attachment systems) are functional, though Puppetmaster requires constant maintenance.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Wings of the Goddess Jobs:&#039;&#039;&#039; Dancer (steps, flourishes, dances) and Scholar (stratagems, grimoires) work well.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== What Does Not Work / Partial ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Seekers of Adoulin Jobs:&#039;&#039;&#039; Geomancer (Luopan targeting and specific geometric bubble interactions) and Runefencer (specific elemental rune interactions) are notoriously incomplete or buggy in standard LSB setups.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Abilities Inconsistencies:&#039;&#039;&#039; Specific niche perks (e.g., Ranger Alertness, or specialized Puppetmaster attachments like &amp;quot;Replicator&amp;quot;) are implemented in the database but lack active C++/Lua code logic.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Trusts System:&#039;&#039;&#039; The alter-ego &amp;quot;Trust&amp;quot; system is highly experimental. Certain job abilities (like Paladin&#039;s &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;Cover&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;) cannot target or be targeted by Trusts correctly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Missions, Expansions &amp;amp; Content Zones ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== What Works ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Nation Missions:&#039;&#039;&#039; San d&#039;Oria, Bastok, and Windurst storylines are 100% complete.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Rise of the Zilart &amp;amp; Chains of Promathia:&#039;&#039;&#039; Fully playable from start to finish, including almost all dynamic battlefield (BCNM) encounters and cutscenes.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Treasures of Aht Urhgan:&#039;&#039;&#039; The mainline story is mostly functional. Standard Assault missions and the Imperial Army defense events are present.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Dynamis &amp;amp; Limbus:&#039;&#039;&#039; Traditional end-game content (including Dynamis - Tavnazia and standard Limbus chips) works excellently.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== What Does Not Work / Partial ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Wings of the Goddess:&#039;&#039;&#039; The core storyline is highly fragmented. Many past-era zone NPCs are missing interactions, and specific Campaign battle logic is barebones or absent.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Seekers of Adoulin:&#039;&#039;&#039; The vast majority of Adoulin missions, Colonization/Lair Reives, and specialized Coalition assignments are unscripted or missing key cutscene steps.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Abyssea:&#039;&#039;&#039; Basic functionality (Traverser stones, entering zones) works, but complex epoch-time calculations, specific standard Cruor buffs, and full automated NM respawn triggers are incomplete.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Rhapsodies of Vana&#039;Diel:&#039;&#039;&#039; The overarching final storyline is largely missing out-of-the-box in the stock LSB codebase and must be custom-scripted.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Niche Mini-Games:&#039;&#039;&#039; Dynamic systems like &#039;&#039;Garrison&#039;&#039;, &#039;&#039;Pankration&#039;&#039;, &#039;&#039;Chocobo Racing&#039;&#039;, or &#039;&#039;Mog Garden&#039;&#039; activities are either non-functional or completely hollow.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
