Ask Questions for Letter from the Producer LIVE LX (UI Designer Kei Odagiri)

Can you add a stopwatch like element for fishing. I have been using macros with /ac cast, /echo #<wait.#> and I have to adjust the macro depending on what fish I am looking for. It would be nice to not have to rely on a macro to notice the time since I casted. I also have to use a separate chat filter incase I get /tells or /fc scrolls up my log and I miss the time to reel.

Can we get the ability to glamour (one-handed) wands over (two-handed) staves? There are some really cute wands that I would love to use for glamour, but beyond level 50, the WHM and BLM main arms are only two-handed, so using a wand for glamour is impossible.

Could the chat box fade out after some time of not receiving messages? And can we have the same for job gauges? When I'm in a city/wandering around I don't need to see my DRG's/BLM's gauge.

Would make it easier to immerse myself when just walking around to look at the beautiful world.

[Payadopa]

Can we have the option to not see buffs that are already shown on the job gauge? I understand that the party list should have that so others can see it but I don't need to see my cards as AST on my gauge and on my buff bar. Same with tank stances etc. Thank you~

While in the Duty Finder window, could we get a keybind or controller button option for "Clear Selection"?

OMG YES!! The amount of times I queued for two duties...

Thank you for taking the time to answer our questions, Odagiri-San!
Could we be able to use a larger amount of game icons and UI icons for macro icons?

There are a lot of icons that would be perfect for describing certain macros, but currently cannot be used, like certain items and system setting icons.
A drag and drop interface for choosing macroicon would also be good! Where one could drag an icon to the macro creation interface when creating or editing a macro, and the game would use that as the macroicon!

Example: I use macros for adjusting sound and music volumes depending on situation, and I havent found any icon (like a speaker or a note) we can currently use that would describe it well. The icon that denotes the "sound settings" in the system menu would be perfect, but it is not available to use.

please allow us to add more chat tabs!

BLU has access to saving different spell sets which is great but would it be possible to change the hotbars too when switching sets so you dont have to switch out spells each time

Can you add a feature that adds a marker to both the player and their icon on the party list when you mark them? I play on controller and this would be a great feature to implement when playing as a healer.

Hello there!
Is there any chance we can have parts of the UI fade out when combat is triggered? I have actions bars that are not combat related and would like to have them fade away in combat to free up more space on the screen. This also applies to say the inventory slots, money etc.
Thanks!
