Contains commands to view profile, job levels, combat/magic/craft skills, currencies, <s>Unity Concord</s>, play time (displays total time spent in Vana'diel '''For some on Horizon it doesn't show correctly'''), [[Merit Points]] (Lv.75 and up only), and <s>Job Points (Lv. 99 only)</s>.
|- BGCOLOR="#e3e6ff"
| align="center"|Equipment
| align="Left"|Equip weapons and armor. For most jobs, opens the [[Equipment]] screen for manual equipping of armor and weapons. For [[Puppetmaster]] only, opens a sub-menu to specify the player's or the [[Automaton]]'s equipment screen.
|- BGCOLOR="#e3e6ff"
| align="center"|[[Magic]]
| align="Left"|View spell and song lists. Opens a sub-menu for viewing the list of all spells learned by type: [[White Magic]], [[Black Magic]], [[Songs]], [[Ninjutsu]], [[Summoning Magic Skill|Summoning Magic]], [[Blue Magic]]. The player can cast spells permitted by the current job combination from here, or reorder the spell listing to preference.
|- BGCOLOR="#e3e6ff"
| align="center"|Items
| align="Left"|View current inventory. Can use items and sort inventory from here. Auto-sort can also be used to combine partial stacks of stackable items into full stack(s).
|- BGCOLOR="#e3e6ff"
| align="center"|Synthesis
| align="Left"|From the sub-menu, choose "Crystal Synthesis" to construct and start a synthesis, or "History" to choose one of your last 10 synthesis attempts. A History sub-menu allows you to choose "Favorites" to retain on this list.
|- BGCOLOR="#e3e6ff"
| align="center"|[[Job Abilities|Abilities]]
| align="Left"|View job abilities, weapon skills, etc. Displays a sub-menu similar to the Abilities command on the [[Command Menu]], except the player can view [[:Category:Job Traits|Job Traits]] as well. Otherwise, it lets user access the current job and [[Support Job|support job]]'s [[Job Abilities]], [[Weapon Skills]], attack with a ranged weapon, and [[Pet Commands]]. The lists can all be sorted, except the Job Traits list.
|- BGCOLOR="#e3e6ff"
| align="center"|[[Party]]

"Seek Party" toggles the Party Flag on and off (see text command [[Command/invite|/invite]]); Autogroup (see [[Command/autogroup|/autogroup]]) turns automatic party flag on/off. Languages sets the language preference for partying. When in a party, the menu changes to allow sending invitations, view the member list, remove members from party, change the leader, choose [[Cast Lots]] or [[Quartermaster]] for item distribution, or form/dissolve an [[Alliance]]. All of these can also be accomplished via the text command [[Command/partycmd|/partycmd]] or /pcmd. For Alliances, it is [[Command/alliancecmd|/alliancecmd]] or /acmd. /acmd includes extra functionality not on this menu- /acmd kick <party leader name> removes a party from a three party alliance, without breaking the parties or the alliance.
|- BGCOLOR="#e3e6ff"

Opens a menu allowing the player to search for currently logged on characters using a variety of conditions; After performing a search, you can narrow the search list down by selecting the bar at the top of the results window, which will allow you to select an additional condition. (The [[Command/search|/search]] command provides the same functionality via the commandline.) Also, lets player edit [[Comments|Search Comment]], whose functionality is mirrored by [[Command/seacom|/seacom]] and [[Command/seacomup|/seacomup]].
|- BGCOLOR="#e3e6ff"

A sub-menu allows viewing and editing of the custom map markers (only if in possession of the appropriate Magic Map), view the party/alliance member positions (works without the Magic Map), and use [[Wide Scan]].
|- BGCOLOR="#FFCC55"
| align="center"|[[Mog House]]
