Will FFXI be compatible with the upcoming Windows 10?

Xbox controllers use X (as in Xbox) Input. DirectInput is part of DirectX, which older games use. There are applications to convert one input to the other, which would make FFXI able to see the controller.

That's what I meant to say (xinput, dunno why i said directinput). Yes, there are tools to make the game see the controller, but as the other poster was noting, the game won't recognize the analog triggers, because the older directinput standard doesn't support the analog triggers.

Other controllers for the most part work fine because they are directinput based. The xbox controller does not because it uses X-input.

Dear Square Enix Staff,

I am curious to know if there will be any issues regarding installing and playing Final Fantasy XI Online on Microsoft's upcoming Windows 10 OS?

Thank you very much for your time, effort & consideration in this matter.

Well it is kind of along the lines of the thread I've created just a few days ago, maybe a week ago, asking about newer windows systems, etc. Just thought Id add and let you look at the replies in my thread: What's the Plans for FFXI's Future with Newer Operating System's\Drivers/Software Coming in the future?> or even different types of playing gadgets ffxi might have to adapt to be installed on to play it.



Edit: I meant newer OS's as future OS's after 10 and the ones after it.

Also I wish they would just add a thing to the installation system that open's legacy features, they could add a checkbox setting to the Pol.config or FFXI.config tool to do it too and not to mention upon installation they would add shortcuts to those config tools to make it faster and easier to find them instead of manually searching for them or using windows search box to find em would be a great step forward!

Excellent info! Thank you for sharing. I'll be reading the replies on your thread this evening.

Agreed, something as simple as you described adding a legacy feature option to the installation and adding shortcuts for these config files would increase our quality of life dramatically.
