Not sure how new this news is, but much to my and many dat modifier's dismay, FFXIdats.com is closing down sometime this month.

So just a reminder, download everything you could possibly want there before hosted links to all your goodies go bye bye forever. Also if anyone else knows of a site that shares a community of customized dat hosting for FFXI, please share the love.

inb4 TOS infringement blah blah blah

Its sad news indeed, I'm sure somebody already has the entire thing downloaded and ready to rehost as soon as the site goes down however.

And anybody that *** about ToS infringement seriously needs to get the hell off this site.

It's a shame that most of the geniuses that made so many incredible things possible no longer play the game, and as a result indirectly brought the site down. I hope that even with the sun setting on the game already, we will have devout players with eccentric valor willing to bring the community back together and continue working on making FFXI much more awesome than what was initially delivered.

Only other FFXI mod community site I know of is this one. Not as clean cut and professional as dats was but I suppose it has it's fair share of unique entries.

Yeah, some of the third party file hosters got rid of them for who knows what reason and are difficult if not impossible to find now. But scavenge whatever you can while the gettin is good.

Also the front page sorta explains why they're closing down. Basically it's been around for about 6 years and most of the admins/mods don't even play the game anymore and don't have the time, patience, will or money to keep the place going for everyone.

That's too bad... I know the forums at windower.net have a .dat modification section, but I think it's pretty inactive.

Hahaha, I was gonna mention that too. Although it's definitely more for the naughty type. Although they do have a good share of really neat non-adult stuff too.

That's too bad, like others said there's also Nekosentai. I also have a rather large chunk of dats downloaded, disorganized though, doubt it would be archive material.

Keep them around. Never know when we'll need help from random folks to piece together collected dats for when if a new site takes over to replace what ffxidats did.

Pretty much this lol. There was a bit of a deeli-o with filefront supposedly closing down a whileback. Filefront sent out emails to people who had uploaded files and gave warning that they'd have to find somewhere else to rehost them. Sad thing is, a bunch of us modders didn't get the emails, and another bunch of us didn't care to rehost them (A lot of people had quit / gone MIA) so we lost tons of our works ; ;. We tried getting a lot of it back, but some stuff remains losteded :(

Edit: Then as a final kick in the balls, Filefront announced that it wasn't closing down in the end afterall, so we lost our works for nothing lol

Well, if anyone is willing to take me under their wing I'd love to learn how to modify dats and customize them as I have access to the whole data browsing thing.

Also: Mooshy! Where are you?!

@ Wee: There's a bunch of guides on XIdats.com, I really really suggest copying them down, even the pics if you want to learn or just to use as reference. They helped me to no end when I was learning things^^ (And I still scour them now, especially since I'm so out of practice hehe)
