can we have a differnt UI for skills

I really don't like our current UI in general (although to be honest, I do quite like the new look they've given the action bar). The design is really inconsistent, with the overall menu looking totally different to everything else. I think the blue colour they've used for the menus themselves is a bit gross, and they're just generally clunky and unappealing to look at.

Why have we gone from FFXIII which had an absolutely gorgeous menu system and really slick UI to something that's actually worse than FFXI?

I hope they have plans to totally redo it, not just upgrade the current one (they seriously need to sort out the lag issues too, I'm not prepared to pay for a game with the amount of delay between actions this one has) and make it much more client-based.

I like it, don't insert your opinion as fact. I like it a lot more than the FFXIII UI as well. And it's not meant to be slick.

Maybe if you can provide a mock-up of what you want the UI to look like you can sway my opinion, but if you want something more like FFXIII or FFXI....no. Hated both of those with a fiery passion.

What? I didn't 'insert my opinion as fact'. I even said 'I think', is that not a clue? I'm afraid it's not an opinion that the UI is inconsistent, just look at the difference between the menus in the character select etc, the overall menu in-game and then the individual blue-box menus. They're all totally different.

I'm certainly not going to go through the effort of making a stupid UI mock up, I don't care enough. What I'd like is a cleaner, prettier interface like they've done previously. XI's interface was pretty bad, but it's also 9 years old so I'd say that's fair enough.
