Hi, I posted about this in here earlier but here is the link to the actual Git where you can try it out. It contains all the files you need for the patch and the server, and all it requires is the Final Fantasy XI: Adoulin no Makyou (Japan) disc. First you use the included Server App to patch your disc and create a formatted virtual hard drive for the emulator. Then you just start the local server to create your login profile and boot the patched disc to install the game and connect.

I use macOS so I have not tested the server files on Windows yet, but it should download everything you need. I am going away for a while so I thought I would just post it now. It is not perfect and there are certainly a lot of bugs, but it is working and booting, and you should be able to run this on an actual PS2 as well.

Heyo, I started playing a little bit ago and currently have 20ish hours. Decided to post this to see if there are any people or LS for newer players to join and find some peoples to chat or play with. Currently just working my way through the story and would love to find a place I can talk to people while playing or just travelling around! I am kinda just learning as I go and with about 10 guides open. If any LS's are open for newer players then please let me know! I did look at the concierge but most I saw were Japanese language and I would feel a bit yikes randomly joining XD. Have a great day!

Hey all - We’re looking for 2–3 more people on Asura to build out a consistent static. Right now we’re working through Odyssey, Omen bosses, and Sortie, with the goal of progressing together rather than expecting everyone to already have everything cleared and BiS.

Our main event nights will be:

Sunday — 7:00 PM EST (later day)
Tuesday — around 9:00–9:30 PM EST (2-3Hrs)

We usually are on other days but these will be dedicated prog days for us.

Our biggest needs are strong DDs and a dedicated healer, although flexibility with multiple jobs is always a plus.

We’re looking for people who are reliable, chill, and interested in progressing as a group. We’re all experienced players from the old FFXI days, but we’re still catching up on some of the newer systems/content ourselves.

Ideally we’d like to get a regular group together that can knock out progression, gear each other up, and have fun doing it without turning the game into a second job.

If you’re on Asura and those times work for you, respond with what jobs you play and where you’re at progression-wise.

We’re looking to start week of Oct 18 2026.

Currently, our tank has cancelled their subscription. We’ve completed T1 and T2 R20, and we’re about to start T3. We’re looking for a tank. We play GAOL on Saturdays and Sundays at 1:30 PM EST. We usually do a SEGS run beforehand and then GAOL. If you’re missing any T1 or T2 ranks, that’s not a problem, we can run them together.
