Until then we are just stuck with VanaMini which is fan-made and SEVERLY out of date but still a fantastic app for ffxi
I find it incredibly sad that the fans are coming out with stuff for the game that is remarkable and it takes years before SE ever decides to listen to the fans and even take it into consideration, let alone incorporate it to the game. It took how long before they finally decided to have OFFICIAL forums? Fans are coming out with great additions to the game but SE doesn't want people to have an "unfair" advantage over other players. So they release exclusive items to the JP players that attended a convention in Japan, or bought their jewelry, or soundtrack, etc. I still consider that an unfair advantage. Anything that can be given out to some players and not all is unfair, and if it grants you ANYTHING (other than a costume or fireworks), it's an advantage.
