going to see the wicked double feature tomorrow. i haven't meaningfully celebrated my birthday for the sake of it in over 10 years, and i haven't seen the stage play either. i'm hoping this will be some fun! 
Had a good time and thoroughly enjoyed both features. :) |

Well a guy at discord did say a big was found that "causes the wrong window to get focus after alt tabbing" we are not sure if this is infact the root cause of the issue that people have been seeing but that is just some more info we know
guy at Discord? There is a guy who works at discord in the windower discord. |

Apparently in Japanese:
Macrocosmic Orbs are just Cosmic Orbs
and
Microcosmic Orbs are called Planet Orb.

Do you know what they mean by "Cosmic orb"? I tried trading a spent Microcosmic orb and nothing happened.
it's macrocosmic orbs that counts for plaudits |

I've run into something similar however it has not affected FFXI for me - rather it has been a bother for Notepad++. Frequently when I alt-tab to it from FFXI (possibly others as well but I notice it primarily from the game) it will behave as though the alt key is still pressed and when I start to type it instead tries to navigate the menus with my keypresses.
A bit of googling led me to https://superuser.com/questions/1700798/windows-11-alt-tab-keeps-alt-pressed where they suggested PowerToys or other applications that 'register global keyboard hotkeys' as possibly causing the issue. I do have PowerToys running and if I exit PowerToys, Discord and Steam that maybe reduces its frequency. But what really seems to cause it to occur most regularly is how quickly I press and release Alt-Tab. If I press them and then tab through some of the windows it doesn't seem to occur at all. If I have just FFXI and NP++ open and very rapidly tap the buttons to swap back and forth then it happens very regularly. Or if I just pause briefly and don't release the Alt button until NP++ has taken focus then it seems fine as well. |

Retested, it does appear to be 3% based on this check:
Gear +18%
Bolters+7 Roll 9 (+32%)
1.18*1.32 + 0.02 = 1.5776 (+56%) or 1.18*1.32 + 0.03 = 1.5876 (+58%)
Targetinfo gives +58% movespeed under this condition

Huh, I wonder if this is the cause for a strange behavior for Controller/Hybrid I’ve been seeing only just recently. I always just move the mouse and click on the window of whichever alt to control them directly but lately it’s been attempting to clone all inputs across all characters, movements and all lol. Can be useful in some instances but not when I can’t control it 0_0.
The work-around I found was the click anywhere on the desktop background BEFORE attempting to select another character lol hopefully this is just something weird with Discord and this change fixes the shenanigans. Thanks for that.
Yes. this was drtiving me crazy, it was discord overlay |

Hello all,
making a post here since this is being pervasive.
A lot of people are reporting an issue where they are unable to alt+tab across FFXI instances. There's a few different flavors of the issue, but most of them appear to be caused by the discord overlay.
Try to disable the discord overlay for FFXI, and see if it solves the issue. You don't need to disable it entirely, you can just disable it for FFXI specifically.
Phew I'm glad it wasnt just me having this problem. It was ongoing for a good week until I figured out it was discord's fault and did this fix x.x |

I didn't even notice it says "Phoenix Down" until you said so. For me it was just "Ah, that bunch of items" because they're all used for the first reforging at Monisette.

Joe Casual?? You got off 3 stops too early. You wanted 14th, not 11.

The phoenix down one was painfully obvious to anyone with grade 4 problem solving skills.
Mon chère, you’ve been playing since I was 12 on Gilgamesh. I’m speaking to Joe-casual like myself who subbed last week. Wtf do I know (or care) about mislocalized bottle of buttcheek juice. Go like my bug report, get free stuff (maybe? hopefully?). Bisous. |

When you complete yesterdays objective, todays objective becomes available. They did not *** up this time.
Is it not the case that if I kept "Sparks of Eminence (VBD)" active through the week, come next Sunday I can spend Sparks to complete it and it'll be replaced by that day's Daily?
Vana'bout challenge period is until 12/1 so if I complete Sparks VBD on 11/23 won't it be replaced with daily for 11/24? Then complete that and get daily for 11/25 etc? |

Posting in this thread because I didn't realize there was a main thread for this thissue, and I wanted Olly to take note of his Windows update.
I'm having a weird issue when using switch_focus where it tries to switch windows and gets like..stuck? it's not frozen, I can see people move and i can type in chat but I cannot hit enter to send or escape to exit, anybody having this issue?
Yes, I uninstalled Windows Update 25H2, probably the first time I uninstalled/rolled-back a Windows update in ~20 years.
For me, it was this, which is a part of 25H2:
2025-11 Security Update (KB5068861) (26200.7171)
After I rolledback, everything went back to normal (minus some new flickering in POL's login screen ...but I can live with that for now if means I can have alt+tab working again).
which ver did you roll back to? i quit playing since 25h1 broke alt tab for me
This is what I run right now:
...But I noticed that Windows re-installed this update and is asking me to reboot as we speak. I'll have to update this thread to see if it comes back (and needs to be uninstalled again). When did Windows make updates so shitty? Jeez....
Anyway, for your specific issue, (1) Enable the windows key (2) Disable discord overlay (just for FFXI, don't try to use legacy-overlay with FFXI yet)(3) use the Windower addon "switch focus" or the Ashita addon "focuser".
I'm posting this because when I do reboot, the Windows update will have re-applied itself and I can repeat the above steps (and do some additional testing with the discord overlay). |

One is a mislocalization or quality assurance of the number of plaudits rewarded. If you’re texting me? Sure, no worries. But this is FFXI. Serious business.
I mean they did mix up item ID numbers with the number of plaudits rewarded the other week.
The other one, yeah, fair enough, but, you know… kinda silly oversight. Especially with the title being a thing and mastery ranks now relevant to gameplay.
The orb thing too. Kind of knocked my motivation out on day zero with the “cosmic orb” mislocalization at JPM rolling over.
And the “phoenix down.” I’m here lurking, hard to say to Joe-casual to dig through the .dats and figure out this item doesn’t exist.

It finally happened!
On the eleventh Watermelon of the 4th stack, I finally got the last Memento KI!
NEW TITLE UNLOCKED!
(I'm kidding, there's no new title)

Eh, the Sparks thing is not really a bug, more a perfect example that they should have asked the janitor if this objective was without problems.

Personally, I’m having more fun submitting bug reports. If they give a blanket x hundred like Vana’bout #1, I’m a happy camper.
