what made the UI in xi handy was its keyboard convenience, the fact that they are trying so hard to not be xi by changing the basic controls of 9key movement and just typing to chat system to one more complex. I don't give a sh*t about the action bar if they could fix the damn delay/lag in the UI. I hit the key and it still takes a good 1~2 sec to respond, it sounds minuscule but what made the UI system of command cues so good in xiii was you were still in control of the premeditated amount of 3~6 actions. Giving the user time toinput or cancel commands. Also it was single player which meant it had the luxury of allowing players to slow down or speed up the process in the config settings, where as xiv is a real-time multiplayer and must rely on a universal que input from thousands of individual users, making the the concept of qued commands rather weak since they must be executed individually and (currently) cannot be seen or cancelled effectively. I don't know if its the new UI, the increase in graphic detail, the use of a new/old game engine or a combination of the three but this delay has got to be fixed. It's appalling.
