Additional Information
“The Grand Duchy of Jeuno (ジュノ大公国, Juno Taikōkoku), or more commonly just Jeuno (ジュノ, Juno), is a booming city-state in the world of Vana'diel from Final Fantasy XI. Built upon Heaven's Bridges, the city is a structure that allows passage between the Quon and Mindartia continents. Due to political neutrality, Jeuno often acts as a regulator between the other three nations of Vana'diel.

NPCs
The NPCs found in this zone are based on NPCs or player behavior found in Final Fantasy XI.
| Location | FFXIV NPC | Dialogue | FFXI NPC | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| X 5.4, Y 6.8 (south) | Unnamed shade | ...magic map...adventures...? | Promurouve | FFXI does not have an automapping system. Players must find or purchase Magical Map key items in order to view maps of zones, which this NPC sells. |
| X 5.4, Y 6.8 (north) | Unnamed shade | ...welcome...Adoulin... ...help...? |
Darcia | Gives quest that unlocks the FFXI expansion pack, Seekers of Adoulin. |
| X 5.4, Y 6.8 | Cordial Shade | Welcome...Chamber of Commerce... We assist...job...labor... |
Derrick | Says: "Welcome to the Chamber of Commerce and Industry. We assist the community with job placement and labor arbitration." |
| X 6.3, Y 6.8 | Orderly Shade | ...auction house. ...any questions...? In the past...great wealth... |
Honorine | Says: "Welcome to the Auction House. Do you have any questions about our establishment?" and "In the past, many have amassed great wealth through the auction house. I hope you find fortune, too!" Gives a tutorial to FFXI's version of the Market Board called the Auction House; the dialogue is her parting words. |
| X 5.8, Y 6.0 | Unnamed shade | ...monstarus...recorded...Dale... | Rakuru-Rakoru | Gives the quest The Miraculous Dale, which requires hunting certain Notorious Monsters. |
| X 5.9, Y 5.9 | Unnamed shade | ...Mea...1k... Can I have... |
Player character behavior | This NPC's bubble dialogue is based on shouting for a teleport from a White Mage, likely (using the Auto-Translator) {Teleport-Mea} 1k {Can I have it?} Fast travel in FFXI was comparatively limited in its earlier years. Teleportation was limited to White Mages and they could only teleport to certain points in the world. Enterprising White Mages would offer to cast teleportation spells for a nominal fee (usually 1000 gil). In this case, the player is requesting the spell Teleport-Mea. |
| X 5.8, Y 5.8 | Unnamed shade | ...a lass...my love... ...so shy... |
Momiji | Says: When I was but a lass, I oft would follow my lover to this fountain. He would speak barely a word, so shy was he! To love someone is a wonderful thing. Only now, at my age, does that seem so clear. Oh, my husband? Yes, he's quite well. He's so full of life, I know not what to do! |
| X 5.9, Y 5.4 | Unnamed shade | I am...patrol... | Zauko | Says "I am Zauko. I patrol Lower Jeuno. We guards need more than muscle. We need the residents' trust. Come see me if you're ever in trouble." Gives the quest Community Service at dusk wherein players light the lamps on the western side of town. |
| X 6.6, Y 5.6 | Solemn Shade | Party... Looking... Dark... Samurai... Dragoon... |
Player character behavior | Likely saying: Looking for Party Dark Knight, Samurai, Dragoon FFXI does not have a Duty Finder equivalent, and until relatively recently, did not have any sort of mass communication outside of a region. Moreover, players cannot invite other party members if they are in different regions. These factors pushed players to congregate in Jeuno where they would manually have to form parties, usually through shouting. Dark Knights (a DPS in this game), Samurai, and Dragoons had especially long wait times as these slower-paced jobs were seen as less desirable for the faster-paced parties of the mid-to-late 2000s. |
| X 6.8, Y 5.6 | Thrifty Shade | ...Neptune's Spire! Applicants...invite...our branch... Please...will issue...membership... |
Ghebi Damomohe | Receptionist for the Tenshodo, an organization featured in FFXI's MSQ equivalent. |
| X 6.7, Y 6.8 | Unnamed shade | Kurou...Magnificentaru...! All...revealed... |
Kurou-Morou | Fortune-teller. |
| X 6.6, Y 7.1 | Diminutive Shade | I...Chululu... Divining... Five...card... Other-wothers... |
Chululu | Quest giver for Collect Tarut Cards. Players were given five copies of one of four kinds of tarut cards, and had to interact and trade with other players to find the other three kinds of cards. Doing so would unlock fortune telling, and was also the start of a questline culminating in an important crowd-control spell for Black Mages. |
| X 6.4, Y 6.5 (south) | Unnamed shade | Looking...The Fool... | Player character behavior | Player character shouting for a card to complete the quest Collect Tarut Cards. |
| X 6.4, Y 6.5 (north) | Unnamed shade | Looking...The Hermit... | Player character behavior | Player character shouting for a card to complete the quest Collect Tarut Cards. |
| X 6.2, Y 5.3 | Elvaan Dancer | Are we in Jeuno...? I swear I was hunting colibri in Bhaflau Thickets not long ago. I remember a bright light and then darkness... Then I think I heard someone ranting about how they failed, and echoes... It didn't really make sense. <sigh> All that time putting together a party wasted... It's going to take forever to improve my closed position at this rate. |
Player character behavior | Final Fantasy XI features an endgame progression system called Merit Points, which players can earn beginning at the old level cap of Level 75. These points can be spent to improve a character's job through various upgrades, such as Dancer's Closed Position. When introduced, gaining the Merit Points to improve the ability was very time-consuming and required a party, and parties could break easily without getting the needed points. Bhaflau Thickets was a common place to farm Merit Points, because the colibri spawn quickly, have easily manipulated TP moves, and are weak to various weapon types. |
