Bugged NPC Names!

[Ultimoore]

I wasn't really saying that it did, I"m just pointing out that you're running an officially obsolete windows version. That's why I said "side note."

Generally, the game will work fine regardless, but Square Enix won't provide any official support if you contact them about technical issues, or they will offer no guarantee their help will work.

Your issue is almost certainly being caused by one or more add-ons you are using. Since you are clearly using some from your screenshot.

Load the game without any third party tools, and see if you are able to leave then.


It's a fact, regardless of what words you choose to say in response. The only exception is corporations/businesses can pay money to get extended support, but even that will end in 2023.

1. I am running the game from Linux via Wine (Which I might add runs FFXI far better than Winblows). I have been since 2011. The game has run fine up until this last update.
2. Now the NPC's either have no name, or the name "NPC" . When you interact with them any options you would have had are now missing as I showed in the screenshot.
3. Visual effect addon to affect the actual game files what I have there is visual overlays and they again do not affect the game functionality.
4. This issue persists on the base game as well as it does on Windower. That was the very first thing I tested.
