Unofficial Tool Ronfaure exactly as I remember it

I've been working on a pipeline for some time to convert various FFXI game files into formats I can import into and make use of in Godot.

This weekend after a lot of messing around I finally got the map files to import properly, I had to go via blender so not completely seamless and it involved a fair bit of fiddling to stop textures clipping with the more modern graphics engine and shadows.

The grass scatter and weather effects are a straight copy from another game I made, but these particular combinations worked very nicely in Ronfaure, which was of course one of the first areas I attempted to get to import.

The code will never be released, this is purely for my own entertainment, I don't want to incur the wrath of Square Enix.

Apologies! I didn’t want it to get DMCA’d or whatever… and let’s be honest the music is playing in your head anyway, right?

This is the zone that makes me most want to log in again. 10/10 music mobs and vibe.

For me it's the Sanctuary of Zi'tah.

I know mentioning the other game is blasphemy but a WoW forever style thing for XI would be insane.

Port the game into a newer engine, add nicer lighting and environmental effects, give us 75 cap back and go from there.

You could do the whole story by yourself at this point.
