Titan XI: Closed Beta Notice

During live beta testing, several serious exploits were discovered that may have compromised server integrity and gameplay fairness. As a precaution, Titan XI has temporarily transitioned to a closed beta while we investigate the extent of these issues, address vulnerabilities, and restore a fair and stable experience for everyone.

Server reopening is currently TBA. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work toward welcoming adventurers back to Vana’diel.

Native Merit Menu and Storage Expanded

Merit category totals now follow the native game menu while individual era rank limits and normal upgrade costs remain. Era merit spells hidden by newer client definitions are restored; weapon-skill merits and excluded later-era upgrades stay unavailable.

Merit Point storage starts at 30 and can be expanded to 75 by earning points and purchasing Maximum Merit Points upgrades. No points or ranks are granted automatically. Run Check Files with the game closed to receive the updated merit menu.

Map Uptime Renamed World Uptime

The header counter is now labeled World Uptime. It continues to show time since the last map reboot and links to World Time.

Recruit Steal Delivery and Dancer Action Safeguards

Successful Recruit Steal items now go directly to the master. If the inventory cannot accept an item, it is lost with a notification. Normal rare-item restrictions still apply.

Dancer Recruits recheck ability requirements before executing dances. Idle Dancers no longer receive a forced combat-ready pose during entity updates.

Portrait Close-Ups Follow Adventurers into Chat

Adventurers now use a closer, slightly brighter facial portrait in chat, rosters and other compact views, while profiles and character creation retain their existing upper-body framing. Both versions use the character's equipped appearance and familiar portrait background.

Chat portraits follow character identity and refresh with current appearance, including existing messages. Appearance changes are briefly delayed to avoid repeated renders during equipment swaps, and a failed render keeps the last valid portrait.

The beta and release timeline box has been removed below the header. The centered Map Uptime box remains, with its link to World Time.

Map Uptime Opens World Time

The Map Uptime box below the header now opens World Time. The beta timeline continues to open About Titan.

Portrait Hair Respects Headgear

Corrected how the portrait renderer reads model visibility categories. Hoods and covering helmets now hide the conflicting hair geometry declared by their DAT models, while circlets and open head pieces preserve the hair they are meant to show. This also corrects covered Tarutaru ponytails and Mithra hair and ears.

Checked 1,408 race, face and equipment combinations, including tunics, cloaks, circlets, bandanas, caps, masks and hats. The existing fixed camera framing, portrait palettes and background treatment are unchanged.

Character Portrait Framing Stays Steady

Character creation portraits now keep a fixed square viewport and a stationary camera for each race and size. Changing faces, hairstyles or equipment no longer automatically zooms or recenters the character. Existing FFXI models, portrait palettes and background treatment are preserved.

Portrait selections are decoded before display, with the last valid image retained during slow or failed loads. All 384 race, face and size selections were checked, along with equipment changes and consecutive selections at desktop and mobile widths.

Main Menu Icons Load Before Opening

Restored immediate loading for the main menu icons. The SEO audit had deferred their downloads until the menu opened, leaving icons temporarily blank. Menu artwork, layout and navigation remain unchanged.
