UI Scale much needed

UI Scale
This game needs a UI scale badly, i play on a 60 inch 1080 P TV and when i change my resolution to 1980x1080 the Text becomes so small as do the menus, so i play on 720 which doesnt look nearly as good on my TV as 1080 ( The game seems to only scale in windowed mode, and windowed mode looks much worse then full screen )

UI scale for 1980x1080 resolution in full screen mode Can i have it please

( Btw i do not need glasses lol , 20/20 here )

Yes please I have exactly the same problem playing on my TV in 1080p, game looks great but the writing is so small ; ;

i vote yes. DCUO has one that is ok. It sticks when you can't read the chat box in mmo.

wow 60 inch.

go to japan sometime they have a thing called the vista wall its a tv/ interactive wall, and its touch screen. ^^ i saw it it pretty neat.

and item list is very very very small, very hard for users who want to click it with mouse

I have the same problem! I play in 1920x1080 on a large monitor and I just found out tonight that my gamepad controller works on this game. I got set up with a glass of orange juice and pretzels, sat down in a comfortable chair that I pulled up a good distance from the monitor like I'm playing any other video game.

But, I couldn't read anything! I had to scoot up too close! I don't need a new prescription of glasses, it's just too small to read. I'd like it easier to read from a distance. If this is how it will be for PS3 players, I can't imagine things will turn out well.

It's like trying to read this text (font size 12?) from 2 feet further back from where I'm already sitting, and kind of uncomfortable.

I'm aware that I could make the resolution smaller, but the graphic quality decreases. I'm in the same boat (or one just like it) as Lazerus in post #1.

I do exactly the same. I play on a 40" Samsung and I have to pull the sofa forward every time I play the game just so I can read the text.

Also I am pretty sure the PS3 version will be 720p as I think they would really struggle to get this to run 1080p on it if top end PC's are having a problem now, unless they do some serious optimisation for it.

totally agree with some points here.

There's even an option to pick a custom "Font" in the configuration file, however...
"someone" .... forgot the "Size" option.

And to hell with the PS3 players, so ya you cant change font etc...
get a pc... (if the game ever comes out on PS3)

I have pretty much the exact opposite problem as the OP... I play on a semi-standard 1280x1024 resolution, but the UI/font seems too darn big and invasive :(

Play on a 50" 1080p set and its fine IMO, guess I just have good eye sight :)

It's not guna effect the PS3 as someone else suggested as the PS3 version will be running in 720p.

I do still think that the option to add scalable UI and text should be in the game for those who need it.

As far as PS3 worries go, I wouldn't worry about it. Text size was scaled up on the 360's XI due to beta feedback, so I'd imagine if it became an issue in the PS3 for XIV beta they would fix it.
As for PC, yeah. There needs to be an option for the text to be scaled up for 1080p. I say option rather than an automatic scale because those with 1080p monitors probably won't have as much of an issue with reading since it's right there, so why force them to have larger text?

This too. Seems like not as many people play on a smaller resolution, but it hurts us just as much in the other direction.
