Yoshi-P talks about modifiable UI?

Found this on the French Forums.
Kinda hard to figure out exactly what he's saying but he does talk about how they're looking into custom UIs and PvP.

Speculate!

Allowing custom UI is great.

If anything, whatever PVP implemented should take place within Ul'dah's Colosseum.

Most likely will be controlled PvP as they are still trying to cater to FF fans which majority seem anti open world PvP. Controlled PvP? bring it on, should be fun.

Edit: Oh and modifiable UI? don't really care myself as long as its more intuitive and *much* more responsive than the one we have now. Its a million times better today than it was at launch but it still lags and i still hate selling items or talking to my retainers because it takes a second too long to load up.

I hope they only allow limited custom UI to skins and widget set ups. And not dsp meters or anything like that. That will serve to alienate ps3 users when we get to join or switch over. I rather not see high end LS's or companies (yes player companies are still in the works) to require addon like in most mmo. I found out the hard way that not all curse.com addon are safe. I found a few that ended up crashing my computer. (i found out it was the addon by deleting it and never crashed after.)

Thats my 2 cents.

Don't worry they seem to be firmly against this and if I'm a betting man I would say that if they do make way for modifiable UI, any modifications have to go by them first before being given the go ahead.

I just do not want what happen in WoW happening hear. I had nothing but issues with WoW addons either not working, crashing my game, crashing my pc and giving it viruses. One thing I disliked was even if you explained your situation, no one would let you join the guilds. Like currently I play in my bros laptop in our kitchen. I got to watch out what LS talks about when my nephew is near me. And I can't DL anything since its not my pc. Meaning no vent or Addon. When I had to share my pc i bought (now broken) I had a similar rule put on it cuz they all had ipods and needed space for their Itunes (which they fail to understand that those did take up space on the computer if you downloaded them then put them on the ipod.)

PVP should only be like ffxi i don't like Open pvp or dual system if they have event like airship pvp and ship pvp i agree with that but open and dual dislike the idea.

If ppl want to play a game just for PVP then play the other 99.99% out there FFXI and i hoping ffxiv are the only games that give you a great lore and Awesome CS you don't get that from any other game because they follow the same formula of Battle ground,Openpvp/dual dungeon/raids. Quest/dungeon to level up.

guess you never played Mabinogi.... games has pvp, great story, great cs also. The lore is based around celtic mythology, the old pagen styled version with druids etc.

That game was release right around WoW release date which mean it did not have such a big impact to 99.99% in the market today. Now at days player base want most of everything spoon fed want Open PVP and dual and only really care about PVP don't even read the storyline within the game only care about themselfs. How MMO have change from my day :( We can have a good game in ffxiv without becoming a wow-clone and without being 100% causal we don't need 5-6hours event even tho wow have them lol and we sure don't need something that only last 1min-30mins also.

PVP would be right as long as it like ffxi just a area no one really care about and put no issue with the rest of the game.

About the mod ui i wish someone would come up with a FFXI layout :) that be sweet.

I already mod UI's so I'm more excited to see it not being against tos.

More then likely anything the player can "Customize" outside of in game editing will be skins. Right now the only thing Players can customize is the Font and widget placement.

Will probably be similar to how LOTRO does it, customisable skins etc.

It''s funny how everyone jumps to conclusions and think we are guna get completely modded LUA based scripting like WoW.

I think for a lot of people, there's a major difference between UI and addon. UI changes the ... UI around, without adding any major functionality. Addons are what add functionality.

But even so, there were a lot of awesome addons in WOW that I feel wouldn't give a huge advantage (or any) to PC players over PS3 players. My favorites were addons that let me open up all mail items at a time, without having to manually go through one by one; in-game item list and boss monster drop list; dungeon maps (before Blizzard came up with official ones); etc. Basically stuff that's more for user friendliness and convenience, and not about giving me a big edge over other players. I'd be ok with seeing some of those in FFXIV.
