New Windows Version User Interface

[Darkovercast]

I just upgraded my PC and got myself a shiney new HDMI Asus screen that is 1920 x 1080 resolution, if I run it at 1920 x 1080 the chat log is so small that you can hardly read any text without being nose-to-screen. I really hope with this new GUI update they consider being able to resize the chat log seperate to other configures when it comes to resolution! Fingers are crossed!

They already said that the new UI will support truetype fonts. I don't see a reason to add support for that if they don't intend for the font size to be scalable.

This part isn't meant to be making fun of you or anything, but if your monitor is 22 inches or more, you might have a bit poor eyesight. It's pretty unproblematic for me to read the text at 3 feet distance on my 24" at 1920x1200.

I had the same problem as him. Turns out I needed glasses. (probably from years of following battle chat logs :P)

Took me a while to get adjusted after being at 1024/768 for years on my old CRT. Now I can't imagine it any other way.

The seperate overlay size was a nice tweak they added. Could make it use lower res for a while, and gradually increase a couple times as you get used to the smaller text at each stage.

Can we Just please get one little peaky screen shot. I am seeing something like FFXIV. I like XIV but i just want a little picture to assure that it is coming. Not like we have seen a dungeon Crawl system that is about 5 months behind schedule. Just one taste of the new stuff and we will wait patiently. We may have 10 thousand questions but at least we will be patient.

Um... Is there a way to just leave it the way it's always been? The new icons alone are really distracting-thye're not plain and elegant anymore, they're all covered in things. The UI is one of the reasons I like FF11 so much, I'd hate to see it wind up like FF14 or The Old Republic. Or even... *shudder* World of Warcraft.

I mean, the ability to change it is fine and all, but I'm not going to log in one day after an update and find the window sizes and shapes all changed and sitting in different spots, am I? In other words, is this something that will immediately, unavoidably, and forever change(in some large or small part) the way the game looks or responds(besides the icons thus far)?

They said the update will be optional. I don't think this extends to these new icons though.

They did? I must've missed it >< Sorry. Thank you very much.
