UI / HUD suggestion: HUD presets and/or "hide element" button

[MelGibs]

Pleas, an option to save different presets for the HUD layout.

For example, when I play as healer I like to have the party member list (and certain abilities like Benediciton) displayed prominently on the screen. This way I can reach them quickly with my mouse when I am in the process of dodging and moving the camera. If I switch to say another class to do a few FATEs (or any task that doesn't require all this), I have to manually drag each element out of the way and then put them all back again when its time to switch back. Or just deal with all the stuff being in the way of the pretty graphics and battle effects.

If this is too much, how about a "hide element" or "make transparent" feature that's accessible on the normal play screen, maybe a small button on HUD elements that only appears when mousing over them or right-clicking them.

+1 - This would be amazing for healers, and I'd imagine also very useful for tanks. I'd particularly like to see this for PS3 since the UI is a little more cumbersome to handle on PS3 as compared with a PC (not the developers' fault -- just a function of console vs. pc).

There was another recent request for this exact same thing on the New Player Forum: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...ve-HUD-presets

If I was thinking about how to implement this, I'd also consider trying to build in an option to link HUD presets with gear sets -- that way, when you swap jobs & equipment, you could automagically change your HUD = party time!
