Hi all,
To the best of my ability, I have followed the installation guide and entire library of comments/threads on this issue. After several days, I figured I would create a post to share what I have learned (to hopefully update these forums with helpful information) and ask for help for where I am stuck.
When installing NasomiXI, make sure you keep the default destination folder: C:/Program Files/NasomiXI
You may be confused where these files are stored on your Mac, as you will be unable to search them via Spotlight or Finder... They are actually "Hidden".
To find these directories... Using Finder, go to your Home folder and use the keyboard shortcut command Shift Command Period Shift ⌘ .
This will display various hidden folders, including ".wine". From there, you can access "drive_c" > Program Files > etc..
Via the Installation guide, you need to replace "your existing imm32.dll.so"

3. Either create a backup of your existing imm32.dll.so in your /usr/lib/wine/ folder (or wherever WINE DLLs are stored on a MAC), placing the new imm32.dll.so in its place, or use the DLL override ability in WINE and specify this DLL.
This one had me a little confused, but I found this comment by @Alyosha helpful:

Resurrected this thread because I finally got FFXI working on my Mac. Using Homebrew, I reinstalled wine and set it to a 32 bit prefix using the following command line in the terminal:
$ WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=~/.wine wine wineboot
I then replaced the imm32 dll file with the one from Nasomi's wiki page in the path:
/Users/username/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32
Everything worked smoothly then. You get a few fixme errors when you boot up, but they are negligible and did/do not seem to impact gameplay.
These steps should work for El Capitan and High Sierra operating systems. Thought this might be useful to others. The wiki states to set wine prefix to 32 bit, but doesn't really say how.
$ WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=~/.wine wine wineboot

So I navigated to the system32 folder via the hidden .wine folder I previously mentioned.
I did not find an existing "imm32.dll.so" file as the installation guide suggests, but I placed the new "imm32.dll.so" file I downloaded via the installation guide into this folder, and archived the file "imm32.dll" that was currently in this folder.
However, whenever I attempt to run boot.exe ... nothing happens.
Any ideas?
