Too many clicks!

One of my biggest criticisms about FFXIV has always been its interface. It's like decades behind the competition.

It’s a step up from the previous way of summoning retainers, I’m just still muscle memory locked into the old ways.

You can commence duties while still in your retainer. It'll suck you into the instance.

I'll blame consoles for that partially.

I tried FF11 and managed to get it to download, get through the Playonline nonsense but the menu and control system is a terrible. You can tell it used to be a console game. Instead of new content they should be refing the menu and control for modern PCs. I'd wager they would get more players.

Probably my favourite feature of ShB is the light menu option.

How about the confirmation message every time you try to open a door or use any objects in dungeons?

And it's an issue because...?

And shaft all the console players?
They'd lose far more than they'd gain.

Ah, you mean what kills me in Prae anytime I tank it unless I get the rare aware healer?

'Action cancelled. You are under attack!'
'Action cancelled. You are under attack!'

Someone made a mockup of a better UI but SE would never take the time to do something like this.
