So in my quest to finish all the main Final Fantasy games, I’m down to FF3, FF5, and FF11. This week I’ve been playing the trial some to get my bearings, and while I’ve installed a few quality of life mods, I have maybe a couple of questions.

The first is that I was watching this video, and in it they mention a mod to allow the game to utilize more ram. A 4GB patch by someone named Thorny. For the life of me I can’t seem to find it. Does anyone out there know of a place it still exists?

Also, what are some of you guys’ favorites? I’m using Windower and have an alright set up now with some of, what I assume, are the staples (the map one, the one that makes you party window like FF14). But I’d like to know what the community thinks are pretty essential.

Thanks!

EDIT: Oof, I didn’t realize that the link that was mentioned in the video included the 4GB patch! I now have it all fixed up.

I've updated the sidebar with the "Make FFXI Beautiful" YouTube video by NextGames.

If your on the Phoenix server and looking for a linkshell please reach out.

Frankly I play largely vanilla with Ashita/Windower and the performance/visual benefits it brings. Gearswap/ashitacast imo is recommended as equipment sets are a big component of the game mechanics. I do use a few quality of life things like findall, pouches, equipviewer. I don't use any of the ff14 mods, but it's okay to pay the game how you want. One of the nice things about xi is it supports a variety of play styles.
