On the character select screen, it would be nice if active characters were at the top and inactive characters were shown lower.

[Alhanelem]

not a bad idea, but I imagine the majority of people's most active character is the first one anyway.

Not sure if it's in here already but it would be nice if we could toggle the mount music on/off (didn't see where it was possible at the least besides volume control). Outside of running OSTs from another source, I'd like to hear the environment ambiance over the non-chocobo music that seems to continuously loop.

At least the chocobo track doesn't loop though...


Apparently there are other threads that ask for this as well. I just typed in "mount music" and a few popped up.

Mute all /yell and /shout when in a cutscene, ruins the story for new players.

You're not a new player, who told you this?
Unless people are yelling and shouting spoilers, I don't see the issue.. Teach people to split the chat window. I havve the combat log and NPC dialogue in one window and everything else in the other.

There is constant yell spam on Asura, selling stuff. If you're trying to read the story its terrible.

There's trick to avoid that from ingame setting, by toggling /sh and/or /yell on/off, at least during cutscenes in towns. /blisting those rmt spammers might help, tho that would be quite long stretch since even here @ Bahamut, they could constantly change /yell to another characters.

Is it that hard to just turn the filter on when you're doing important stuff?


And for the bot type characters, term filter can help thugh that's definitely a more advanced method.

I would like to request, yet again, that FFXI make adjustments to targeting.

After the November 2024 update (11/2024) targeting has become an issue for players like me.

The change caused an issue for targeting objects. (used in missions, used in content, etc.)

Players target objects when around other players more than enemies around other players.



Suggestion:

On gamepad pressing just X (select/confirm, or button2) should target objects (instead of players.)

or

On gamepad, pressing R1+X (button combination or button6) should target objects (instead of players and instead of monsters.)

Make Burtgang Trials hits and not killshots..
