In FINAL FANTASY XI, you can place your
cursor over other characters, objects, and
doorways.
This is called "targeting."
Targeting is used to initiate actions in the game, including
speaking to PCs (player characters) and NPCs (non-player
characters), and attacking monsters.

To target something, you must first
display the target cursor.
You can make the cursor appear by
pressing [Confirm/Enter] or direction
buttons/keys.

The target cursor will appear over the currently selected
target. The name of the selected target will appear above
the status bar at the lower right of the screen.

direction buttons/keys or the 0 key. When the target cursor
is highlighting the target you wish to select, press
[Confirm/Enter].

menu will appear, allowing you to initiate a variety of
actions.
NPCs, doorways, or other objects are activated when the
Confirm Button or Enter key is pressed.
The result will appear in the log window.
