I assumed it was temporary myself given how plain it looks (If you look at something like the new magic icons they often overdesign stuff rather than underdesign it), but I guess some reassurance wouldn't hurt.

Really don't care at all about an UI overhaul.

AF Upgrades and Delve II, yes please!!

It just looks so horrible, almost as if they are trying to make it look cheap and tacky. Not gonna make me want to look at it every other day.

This is just a working prototype. The final version will very likely have plenty of customizing options, such as border style, border color, background color and window transparancy.

These new windows should also make it possible to list all the stats we can't see with the old UI, as well as seperate windows for pets. I really would like automaton attachments to be visible somewhere, so I know when an automaton ability is ready to occur.

Can anyone provide a picture of the current UI? I'm kinda curious as to what I'm going to -have- to play with from now on.

Looks like someone put up a youtube video showing the new UI: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ahPmIFTiOA

[Anjou]

provide one of the new one* sorry I goofed.

The new UI looks horrible and is completely unnecessary if it doesn't fix issues like having too few lines per macro. Seeing precious resources go to such useless garbage over other areas that really need it is mindblowing.

Is there any plans to use the higher-resolution icons for weapons/equipments/items/etc that you have sitting archived somewhere with the new UI?

The Linkshell Community (RIP) used them when you viewed player profiles for what they had equipped, and they were damn nice and clean looking compared to what we have in the game currently.

Didn't really see anything mind-blowing in that video. My hopes would be that we have the option to choose to keep the old UI (I'm much more comfortable using the gamepad as I began FFXI on the PS2 and still play from my 360 occasionally) and that we can have at least 2 seperate chat boxes present. I'd very much like to be able to filter all the system messages / battle spam into a seperate window from my actual chat such as LS / Party etc.
