Kagerou
Kagerou is a free, open-source ACT-OverlayPlugin skin for Final Fantasy XIV.
What Kagerou is
Kagerou is a free, open-source ACT-OverlayPlugin skin for Final Fantasy XIV. The overlay is cloud-hosted, so the README says the skin itself does not need to be downloaded. Setup involves adding a Mini Parse overlay in ACT and entering Kagerou’s hosted URL. Its combat display includes RDPS and RHPS, with a Solo Mode option, while history lookup provides access to earlier session data. Pet statistics can be merged or unmerged, and other users’ names can be blurred or revealed. The information table supports configurable column width, ordering, and colors, and custom CSS allows further changes. Korean and English are listed interface languages, with users invited to add another. Saving settings requires OverlayPlugin 0.3.3.11; the live overlay page says the old OverlayPlugin version is no longer supported and points to ngld/OverlayPlugin. Kagerou is licensed under GPLv3 and maintained by hibiya inemuri, username hibiyasleep.

Verdict
