I really like the background music changing in different sections, though I wonder if there'd be a way to do a Tenshodo flavored mix of the Jeuno theme for that, just going straight to the Norg theme is a little much.

If this is a proof of concept, it's a pretty good one. The way the player character moves makes it still feel pretty close to current FFXI. Not sure what's up with the framerate drop when that Galka runs by though, that's concerning.

If it's an ongoing project with the intent of making something playable, though, don't post it here. Square's got a bad history with fan remakes, anyone remember the 3D remake of Chrono Trigger that got eaten by lawyers at like 90% complete? Better to not put it right where they can hypothetically see it, even if it feels like they're not paying attention.
