Suggestion - Please implement this in A Realm Reborn.

Hello all. There was a specific chat feature in FFXI that I loved, and I would like to see it implemented here in the same way. There was a way to bring your chat log up and make it take up most of your screen like this:

This isn't the perfect screenshot for what I wanted showing all say, party chat, linkshell chat, and even all shouts. I want to be able to bring my entire window up and toggle to one of the categories to see if I missed any messages. I personally play on Windowed mode for now and it's a pain to have multiple logs up without cluttering the screen. Anyone else miss this feature? :)

Not sure what you mean, in ARR you will be able to customize the UI... .

I miss this feature. :)

Very useful esp for controller

Oh yeah definitely. I play FFXIV with controller as well which may be the reason I miss this feature so much.

just temporarily enlarge the chat window. Yes, it would be nice to have a key that does it instantly, but you can still do it.

That along with the multiple chat tabs in one window were probably the main reason I like XI's log system. XIV can have 2 tabs per window, yet you can't honestly switch to them on the fly like you could in XI, especially if you use a gamepad.

Cant wait to see how the new chat system in ARR is!

Im getting frustrated with the cuurent one that always delay incoming messages

the delay is more related to the lag i think .

Loved coming back from afk being able to open up the list and see my missed /tells immediately rather then scrolling through a long list.

Signed. Though even if they don't have it in the vanilla UI, this will be the first Addon I start working on (API allowing).
