I'm sure nothing as pretty as FFXIV >.>

It'll be a year in about three days. It's a bit disheartening to see all the people on the front page so excited then I look at the date of the posts.

Any update on this super awesome XIV inspired UI?

Unfortunately they realized that doing this cost money, so they put it on the back burner and built a half-assed expansion to charge you money for instead. SE really needs to turn to crowd funding or something to support these projects. I'm willing to bet that if they started a kick starter page and asked people to donate to the UI overhaul project in exchange for some trinket or something, they would have enough money to pump this out in no time. Slow development / support is killing this game if you ask me (yes I know that no one asked me).

I would like to request some of the "forthcoming information" that was suggested we would receive. If I may suggest, this would include:

1. Items that are currently done and working but waiting on others to be finalized before releasing
2. Items that are NOT done and what roadblocks are currently causing delays.

I would also like to request, if possible, can the new UI be released in phases?

Shhh... don't use that kind of language... instead, just refer to it as "PS2 limitations..." <.<

It's going to be interesting how the new UI will work. I don't think there are any screenshots yet aside from one very very small image I saw of the Japanese version. Multiple log windows sounds pretty good since this is a very text-y MMO ^^ Tweaked chat filters would be great, if they have those in the works.

I'm wondering if we'll ever actually see this new UI at all, haha.
