Which one? Pretty sure they did say they'll give us a choice of a "Classic FF UI" which is what the original XI UI was mimicking.

I like my UI's as Minimalistic as possible, in which case the current UI is acceptable things that could go are the exp bar, the minimap, the Moon phase and the send/receive. if the action bar didn't already take two clicks to activate, i would hide it. but then thats another click.
as for inventory management the game is in sore need of meta tagging
If it's not included officially I'm sure it'll be one of the first player add-ons to pop up. Sadly it'll probably receive the most downloads too.
Everquest 1.0? Everyone seems to forget Everquest did it first because WoW is the titan atm.
Right, right.... yes.... I see what you did SE copied the standard set by the first successful standard MMORPG that was huge before WoW came out.... because WoW copied Everquest and reskinned it with Warcraft... yessssssss well played SE well played.... /sarcasmoff
[Insert Manical laugh here]
Isn't FF XI an Everquest II clone in a FF skin?
And it worked, didn't it?
