How-to: Install

Independently of the way you decide to install FFNx, in order to use it you MUST have a legal copy of the game. Support will NOT be provided if the game will NOT be detected as genuine.

Canary vs Stable

FFNx comes in two flavors, resembling the Google Chrome release names. Unlike this one though, we don't need all the others.

  • Stable: this is a fully tested, and hopefully, bug free release.

    It is commonly accepted for long gameplay sessions and generic users. If in doubt, use this one first.

  • Canary: this is like a nightly release, but untested. Feel free to use it at your own risk.

    This is what users need to try before reporting any issue encountered in this channel, or if you want to try the latest development updates going on in FFNx.
