Final Fantasy XI - The Title Screen Mod

The loop issues with We Are Vana'diel and Unity have been fixed, thanks to Seshpai! Please check out their fantastic stuff (including some wonderful XIV and XI track arrangements) at https://linktr.ee/seshpai/ :D

A special thank you to my friend Sandra for helping to pack these files up ready for release.

IMPORTANT WARNINGS

1. DO NOT enable any options for the title screen whilst on the title screen, or any options for character selection/creation during those screens. Doing so WILL crash your game. You can change options for one or the other by going off each screen to set desired options. You may also choose to configure the plugin whilst logged into the game.
2. Only load this mod in your default collection. Do not load it in any character specific collections. It will not work. This is a purposeful design limitation of Penumbra.

Hello, once again, and welcome to my second mod, once again involved with Final Fantasy XI, and once again mainly a music mod. This one is, obviously, a bit different as it includes some logo options so you can drown in the nostalgia of the Final Fantasy XI logo being the first thing you see when you start your game. This mod in particular makes use of the new ability to permanently set your title screen to a chosen expansion, replacing A Realm Reborn's title screen BGM and logo. Alternatively, you can use the TitleEdit plugin with the presets I have provided below, which feature backgrounds from the brand new Echoes of Vana'diel alliance raid! This will also set your BGM and logo appropriately, so you don't need to worry about changing your title screen settings.

Please read the descriptions provided with each option for what songs are being changed, and what to. Like my first mod, I have included which soundtrack each song features from, in the case you would like to listen to it outside of this mod.

I would once again LOVE feedback on this mod, what songs you would like to hear, what songs are too loud, too quiet, etc, and can be contacted via DM on discord at the username dtr. Please include why you are messaging in your request so I do not accidentally assume you are a spammer, thank you!

Known Issues:

None! Yay!

Title Edit Presets

To import a preset, download the TitleEdit plugin if you have not already, open the config and go to the presets tab. Copy a preset below to your clipboard, then click "Import from Clipboard" in TitleEdit. This will add the preset to your available options. You can change your chosen preset on the Display tab. For the character selection/creation preset, that is changed with the "Character Select screen" options, also on the Display tab in TitleEdit. If you have any questions or get stuck, please reach out to me via my discord provided above.
