Is the UI-overhaul still a priority?

As far as I know, the UI was a pretty big reason the game got 5/10 (or was it 4/10?), so is that still being worked on? If so, how is it being worked on and how soon will players be able to take advantage of it?

And if it's not a priority, oh well, I guess that makes sense. After all, PS3 users will be fine with the present rendition, and supposedly it is PS3 players who will be this game's salvation.

I was just wondering is all.

I don't know where you been the past 4ish months, but the listed priority is the Battle System. The UI is fine beyond the latency problems due to it's serverside nature.

I think there's going to be a UI change when the battle update comes out, but I'm not sure.

So it's "all hands on deck" then for the combat system?

This means we can't have a UI overhaul which is pretty much 80% unrelated to coding a new battle system?

Funny how when SE releases new events the old adage that "SE has several separate departments" stands and yet whenever it doesn't suit them, SE can only focus on one thing at a time.

Probably, but it should be a minor case though, because the UI to really looking good right now, why mess it up? lol but things are looking up for FFXIV, these Companies are a start of something big!

For fucks sake, do you ever stop complaining? Anyway have you thought that maybe they're changing the battle UI too, so instead of doing it a piece at a time, they want to do all UI changes at the same time.

The UI is really not fine. It definitely needs a pretty major overhaul in the future, it looks horrible and archaic (Menus and such I mean, I quite like the basic screen UI) and needs some serious cleaning up. They should ditch a lot of the server-side stuff too.
Considering the gorgeous looking menu systems of even FFXIII, it's pretty disappointing to be subjected to such an awful looking piece in the next game of the FF series.

He pretty much doesn't, and then makes 'baww' threads about getting no thumbs up, lols.

Edit: I should clarify, whilst I do think the current UI is piss, the other things like content and battle systems should definitely come first and foremost.
