Will job gauge be one single HUD element...

... or will there be different HUD element depending of the job? That would be pretty annoying if placing the job gauge for one of our job will move it for all the other jobs. I know we can save up to 4 HUD configuration but... we have 15 jobs now

If memory serves me, he was adjusting a new HUD piece for every job, so I'm going to assume that each one is unique in it's positioning when you change jobs.

During the Live Letter, Yoshi had to move each job icon. So you can place them per job.
Some, like SAM, even have two separate elements.

Nice, I didn't really pay attention to that, I already had all my attention focused on understanding the english. Thanks for the confirmation!

Aside from SAM, I believe the other job that had two HUDs for job-specific gauges was NIN.

Hopefully a way to turn it off when empty or something, did I miss it that was a setting? Like I don't need to see it in town or when I'm not in combat on my mount. They look cool though :)

When Yoshi-P's BLM wasn't active, the BLM gauge was almost completely greyed out. So there's that..?

That's not really optimal but I figured that'd be an option. Having to macro or type something every time I mount or town is very meh lol.

Could be yeh, that's not bad but at points where I really don't need it up it would be nice to be able to hide it automatically (like you don't need your enemy list or raid party frames visible when you don't have the applicable situation).

Ahh that's right. One for Aetherflow, and the other for their designated pet. (Bahamut for SMN, Eos/Selene for SCH)

Well it looks like you can't escape it for the 3 tanks since you need to keep track of your gauge that is filling up, RDM too, you need to see your Sen on the SAM, the BLM need to see his Umbral Heart, the SMN need to see the disponibility of his trance, SCH is likely to keep an eye on his fairy gauge too
It seems to also have some importance for the DRG, NIN, MCH and BRD but I didn't quite well understand their gameplay. So at the end, only the MNK, AST and WHM seems in the position to not use it
