We do have a button to hide the HUD, I use it for taking screenshots sometimes, or when I am on a mount flying somewhere scenic.
IIRC it is the Scroll Lock button.

I'm not sure how dynamic HUDs work, but it would be cool to have something that would hide the hotbars / non-essential items. What we have now hides everything and isn't all that great to use while in combat - especially as a healer. :3

dynamic HUD is you chose certain information to be hide automatic when you just casual going around, do craft or stuff, but immediately show up when you enter the battle without a need to press any button, thing like hot bar, crosshot bar, job gauce or your HP can be hide this way since they are not need outside of the battle, in this game we only have an option to complete hide them or leave them there on the screen

L1+Pressing the touch pad on ps4 will give the desired effects.

Or Scroll Lock on the keyboard for a PC player. It's just not automatic.

I personally thought of it some time ago, and made a rework on all of my UI.
I've made a macro for when I press Z it unsheathes the weapon and shows the actions.
I would like to hide the Job Gauge too, but it's impossible.

This is the macro for the ones who get the idea:

/macrolock
/battlemode
/hotbar display 1
/hotbar display 2
/hotbar display 3
/hotbar display 4
/hotbar display 5
/hotbar display 6 off
/hotbar display 7
/hud Param
/hud DutyList

Then add Z to some Hotbar key and hide it. Ex: Hotbar 9.

hotbars can already be set to hidden when out of combat, check your settings

Well damn, I'll have to go play with that. I tend to toggle my hotbars manually with a macro, but this could be nice.

I think OP would like the option to auto-hide various hotbars when you enter combat then have them auto-show when you leave combat. It would be great to hide those bars you have with buttons to change jobs, you know the ones that you can't use while in combat anyways.

Can't you just set up multiple hud layouts? It's an option right there in the HUD layout!
Then just use /hudlayout 2 or /hudlayout 4 etc

I actually have a macro bound to a hotkey for that. Hides my hp and combat hot bars. Just wish I could hide my gauge. :(

Not something I want to type every time I enter and exit combat. Besides I'm using all 3 of the 4 already. 1 for healers, 1 for dps/tanks, 1 for crafters. The 4th is a minimalist layout for fishing but I don't use it all that much, still like it though.

You can apply the command to a macro, put the macro on a hot bar, and voila, HUD layout change button.

I already use the command in macros that I use to change classes... Like I said, I don't have enough HUD layouts anyways.

Also why do people argue against things like this? It's like "hey I won't use this so it shouldn't be in the game. I don't care if others want it either" excuse.

People are oddly combative about anyone wanting anything here ever.

I can only speak for ps4 but we can hide the X bar so it only shows up when engaged in combat. Maybe pc has same thing?

I'm in no way of arguing against it.
I'm supplying options that can help you achieve a similar effect now. Just like what many other helpful people here have done.

Ah, like back then with PS1/Gamecube games where you only get your health bar displayed when you get hit/pick up health?
That would be nice indeed. Why would the game show your EXP bar when you reach the limit, or displaying the chat when nothing has moved there for, let's say, 10 minutes? The healthbar over our heads already disappear when at 100% (healthy), so the game can surely do that internally already, the features are just not expanded.

You said your 4th HUD is minimalist, so you can use that in the meantime until they consider OP's request.
