    I think the problem here as I have said before is that FFXI took a traditional Final Fantasy UI which was made for consoles and made it work for a Final Fantasy MMO. With FFXIV they have taken a MMO UI which is made for PC players and tried to make it work for a controller.

    While FFXIV's UI does work it isn't great for both a controller and a keyboard and mouse. They should put 2's UI's in, one for playing with Keyboard and mouse so a more traditional MMO setup and one for a controller which is a more traditional Final Fantasy UI setup.

    Now this is a perfect solution!

    Im guessing it would be an option kind of like Dissidia where you get to choose between real action and turn based combat menus.

    For a controller based UI I would hope it would be something like FFXIII which was very similar to FFXI but a bit more modern and then still have macro's like FFXI so we can use those too.

    Here is FFXIII's battle UI in action:
