# Sapphire - FINAL FANTASY XIV Server Emulator
Sapphire is a FINAL FANTASY XIV Server Emulator currently in development. This branch is specifically for FFXIV version 3.3.
It is a research project to learn how retail servers work and currently not production code; at this time it is insecure (use throwaway passwords for accounts) and you should expect a lot of things unimplemented or broken.
Contributions are always welcome.
