This add-on will make double (or triple, depending on your skill/spell speed) weaving always possible.
No more low DPS output just because you are on high latency network. Read how does it work.

Use XivMitmLatencyMitigator instead if you’re on
Mac OS, Game Consoles(PS4/PS5), or want to apply this solution to a custom VPN server running on Linux operating system.

Please keep your offensive actions on cooldown, or you still are a deadweight, and XivAlexander cannot fix that.
XivAlexander helps with weaving oGCDs; it cannot help if the player isn’t pressing buttons to begin with.

Feature for language learners

English text with Japanese text

Or, quickly figure out what is an item called in other languages, or how would autotranslate feature show a phrase in a
different language.
Read how to do this.

Use alternative fonts

Also, this can be used to use characters that are not natively supported by the game (Use Chinese or Korean characters in International client.)
Except for right-to-left languages, which the game probably doesn’t support at all.
