Oh wow. In Europe it was a Webseite that you had to visit
Well even that says visit the site. Not sure you had use the client that would be a bit extreme if so lol.
The PlayOnline music is all on Spotify in the Final Fantasy XI Plus soundtrack.
Sure! There's lots of good songs in here too, it's all the FFXI songs that didn't fit anywhere else. I love Megumi.

A nice combination of good background music, fun icons and visuals, and custom Chocobo cursor...

This music is nostalgic to me because it reminds me of Wii app music, like the weather channel and such.
Need this emojis in steam chatIt definitely feels like a time capsule. I wonder if there's a skin like that for clients such as Steam/Playnite/etc.
Can you show a screenshot of the login screen in question? Alternatively just try the PlayOnline password they emailed you and not the SE one in whatever promptSo can someone help me with actually logging in to PlayOnline?
I made PlayOnline Member with a Username, PlayOnline ID, Password and my SquareEnix ID at the bottom. If I actually want to go online with it it asks me for my SquareEnix Password which I enter and then it says "Invalid Password" yet the same password works fine when logging in to the MogStation and FFXIV o.o
DEJECTED ANIMAL LAND. I like this.

Yeah it's a bit confusing. And to clarify, did you make an account here and input the trial code and everything? https://secure.square-enix.com/Sure I can upload a screenshot after I'm done with dinner! And that's the thing, at no point I was even asked for any email-address, that's why I'm so confused o.o

The login and account creation are definitely terrible but as far as a launcher to launch games goes, I kind of like it. Doesn't even feel that dated!It's the most aesthetically pleasing launcher I've ever seen. It has great music, sounds, backgrounds, and avatars. It also needs to die a horrible death as it's also the slowest launcher I've ever seen. Any patches you need to download and install takes a long time, logging in is slow, you have to put in your security key (if you have one, I do) every time even if it's a computer that you have logged into before, some screen transitions are slow (mainly due to the fade in/out effect), and you got a total of four screens minimum you got to get through before you even get into the game (log in screen, playonline main menu, playonline FFXI menu, "don't play too long" warning). This doesn't even include the additional loading time and screen transitions you have to get through when you even get into the game before you start playing. It can take at least a minute to get to playing if everything is updated.
I get why things are the way they are. I know PoL was once more than just a barrier to get into FFXI. I was around when things like Tetra Master were still playable and I played that a lot too. It just sucks that the game is built on some incredible spaghetti code that they can't just flat out remove FFXI's dependency on it or at least make it snappier and less of a hassle to get through. Heck FFXI still crashes if another app goes full screen. When I was playing (stopped last year as I'm broke), there were times where I was thinking about logging on and kinda wasn't into the mood to play or just wanted to check something small. I just didn't log in as I just wasn't in the mood to deal with the log in process.
Yeah register the trial code on that site. After the account creation you'll get an email that has a unique playonline ID and password, it won't be your email or anything.Oh, now everything makes sense, I totally skipped all this, thanks for pointing me in the right direction! :P
Can we get a PO site theme 🤔

Just enjoy the origieSay is it normal that I can't get new wallpapers? I downloaded some but they don't show up under settings.
This neo-playonline will be fast...Fuck no. I actually had to suffer through PlayOnline, shit was the most slow and cumbersome launcher ever.
True.People will get nostalgic for anything. I remember many disliking having to use pol on pc.
It's still up.My fave launcher, I didn't even know it closed down when did that happen?
I take back my suggestion in the title and amend it to be the PS5 system OS should be modelled after PlayOnline. Sony make it so.
Will get the petition ready
PlayOnline will be revived as a new Sony PC launcher with this as its new launch title.
