lol How you post your opinions is funny to me.

On topic: It would be cool to customize the UI a bit. One thing I did like with WoW mods were changing the UI. SE doesn't need to go that far in freedom but custom looks(maybe some preset designs?) I would agree with.

The excuse I read somewhere online a long time ago for why FFXI never got a UI upgrade had something to do with the PS2 and the reason PC users didn't get any upgrade is they didn't want to give an unfair advantage to PC users.

I don't think we're going to get mod freedoms for UI, although I admit I really liked that about some other mmos.

I don't think UI mods really give a big advantage.... in WOW for example i can play just as well with the standard UI or with all my mods on. That being said, they don't need to gives us MODs, they could just change the current UI for something better, because i find it very poorly designed.

PS3 having a HDD.... wouldn't it be possible to use Mods?

Dunno. Don't own a PS3. Hardly any worthwhile games on it.

The advantage a mod would have over the regular UI is things like - having your ammo visible on the screen at all times, or being able to measure your target's distance. These small things aren't a 'huge' advantage, but makes you more effective overall.

Brevity is the soul of wit.

The UI looks and feels very dated, in my opinion.

If anything it's not minimalistic enough for me. FFXI's UI was perfection in my eyes, small and out of my face! I like to see the scenery what can I say?

As for UI mods, not really a fan of that I'd rather we push SE to add things that we need. Problem with mods is they can give an advantage and if their creators stop supporting the game you lose a mod you've come to depend on.

Yeah I have to admit I expected a better UI for FFXIV. It kinda does feel like FFXI's UI but more clunky and slow. I was hoping for something better not worse ^^

Personally, I don't mind it. And i'm playing on a 16.4" laptop screen. But what does annoy the hell out of me, is the inability to put my 4 chat log tabs on one bar, and switch between them via the keyboard. Or quick expand it. Please bring that back.

I'm ok with the blue theme but I hate it because it look more like a UI for console game

FFXIV is for a console... eventually. It had to be designed with that in mind.
