These configurations aim to deliver an immersive, balanced, and faithful 75 Era setting, enhanced by only minimal customizations to keep things fun and sustainable. We want players to relive the sense of wonder they experienced during the height of classic FFXI, with just enough modern improvements to streamline minor inconveniences.
