indivdual class hud layoouts

[chidarake]

don't frequent this part of the forum and so sorry if its a popular question.

I've been playing for over a year and you'd think id know the answer by now but..

is there a way to customise the hud for individual classes.?

id like to set up a healer hud differently from my current as some elements i'd like to see in different places like the party list or enemy status bar and such.

if I could do this it would make it easier for me to play and probs others.

if this isn't a feature in game already it really needs to be added, even if it was just as basic as healer, tank, dps.

Is there currently a way? No, unfortunately not. As to whether it should be added, I agree.

At least on PS3 and PS4 (where they have to fit things into how Sony says games can save data), FFXIV-ARR uses one save file for system wide settings and one save file per character for character settings (including everything from HUD layout to hotbars to gear sets). Yet based on the way most single player games work, we know that Sony allows games to save data on command and to maintain any number of different save files.

So I think they should add HUD save and HUD load options that would be stored as separate save files. That would allow us to create as many of them as we want for whichever purposes we want. (One player may want to differentiate healing from DPS layouts. Another may want to differentiate PvP from PvE layouts. Another may just want a simpler HUD for when they're fishing. etc.) It would also allow players with multiple characters to set up their HUD once on one character, save it, and then load it on another character rather than having to repeat the whole setup. (This last point ties it in with Gunzorla's request in a related thread, and which I've also seen other people request previously.)

thx for your reply, I was just looking for confirmation really as I suspected there was no such option. hope its something SE looks into implementing in the future as it would be very useful.
