PS4 - hard to read small UI elements

[mistypants]

Agreed, this is an enormous issue. After playing in the HUD Layout settings it's a little more bearable, but the NPC dialogue is unreadable unless I'm a foot away from my TV.

As others have stated you can increase the font size of the chat box. Not many people know this but you can also resize it -- turn on the virtual mouse (L1 + R3) and you'll see the resize icon in the top right corner of the chat box. Drag that to resize.

Are other peoples sizes different from mine? They seem okay for me on my monitor? o.o

Everything related to the PS4 UI needs to be at least 120% compared to current size. This includes the non-adjustable windows like item help, ability help, and NPC dialogue boxes. This is a change that definitely needs to happen in order for the game to be even somewhat playable. The HUD will probably also need adjusted (to fit the resized elements) as a result prior to the second beta phase.

They are that size if you are directly infron of the TV. but most PS4 are in the living room so take into account the distance from the sofa and you wont see a damn thing

I'm in agreement with everyone here, it's unreadable. Will not be subscribing or transferring characters until it is solved. Game on PS4 is gorgeous though, just fix that tiny tiny text please.

This is surprising to me. I had to scale everything down on the PS3, it was just too big, and was the first thing I did when I started the PS4 beta.

Out of curiosity, those of you that are uncomfortable with the UI elements, what previous system are coming from, PC or PS3?

You have my vote!

At first I tried to read the NPC's dialogs to immerse myself in Eorzea, now having a headach I just skip all quest's dialogs. Reading on skills or items is also a pain. This realy needs a bigger font to be playable on a TV!

I want to throw in with this as well. The UI, maybe excepting the hotbar, needs to be increased in size by default. Text is especially too small. I sit about 9 feet from a 60" TV and can barely read the text.
