Battle Stats Menu

I know it sounds rude or mean but if you're playing on a piece of hardware that is 10 years old and the game is still being updated, I can't say its really unfair, I think its foolish to expect a game to be perfectly fair to everyone when the game itself has technological limitations being placed upon it by an old console even if its so simple as a display of a number you literally can math out all on your own if you so choose. I mean thats a whole other story, but its how I see it, and its not even like we are talking about information we can not already figure out, at least in the event of showing just our Accuracy number like we do Attack and Defense, because we have learnt the equations, we know what to do to figure it out, its just making it more accessible.

Well that's your opinion but all this time their goal was to keep all differences between platforms as invisible as possible. until very recently the only real difference between ps2 and the other platforms was graphic quality. Age of game and fairness have nothing to do with eachother. I think they should completely drop the ps2 and open themselves up to doing anything they want with the PC version but that will never happen.

Greetings,

I have an update from Akihiko Matsui in regards to the display of various other battle stats.

Matsui here.

While there are space issues when it comes to adding parameters such as accuracy to the current UI, it would be possible to address this by checking with a special NPC or by adding a new text command.

We would like to look into displaying information for right hand accuracy, left hand accuracy, evasion, ranged accuracy, ranged attack, magic accuracy, and magic evasion moving forward.

[SilentSteel]

That's awesome to hear. ^^

Text command would be a great start! I'd love to be able to compare different sets simply by equipping the gear, and issuing a text command.

I like the idea of having a command that will blurt out all your battle stats in a similar format we have with the anniversary campaign moogle. For the new UI though, can we expect to have these incorporated into the menu? Seeing as we are looking at using a text command, I'd assume it's not that much of server stress to have it in the menu where you'd have to push a button to access it. Speaking of which, I know there is space issue in the current UI with equipment part of the menu. But what about putting left hand accuracy, right hand accuracy, evasion, ranged accuracy, ranged attack, magic accuracy and magic evasion under status in menu?

Will the feature also include pets?

yes please! This would be very nice.

[Rwolf]

Seconded! Yes please!

Nobody plays on PS2 anymore. You don't need to make design decisions based on 640x480 screens anymore. Make the boxes bigger.

Related: Make multiple-choice boxes bigger so we can see more than three options at a time.
