I think I just had a nerdgasm. O_O

The one thing I'm super picky about in games is UI. Bad UI and I don't play. This is the first UI I've ever seen that was uber sexy. :x

[Razor]

I dont care what anyone says, I love the new UI concept. The whole sharp edgy look feels very at home in XIV and im not sure why, it just works.

[AmyRae]

I like the look, but there are still parts of this UI that don't make sense to me, like what the "braille" in the lower right is supposed to signify. I can't help but feel that certain parts of the UI are inspired by FF13.

Regarding that picture, what are all those colored dot at the bottom right?

Same question.

[Rhianu]

Yeah, those colored dots are kind of weird. Maybe they have something to do with alliances between parties? Or maybe status effects? I dunno...

[Raikki]

I'm reasonably certain the dots are related to inventory/bag space. Remember they're going to be changing the way the inventory works so that there are separate "bags" for different things. The dark circles are most likely empty bag slots, while the color of the full circles would indicate something about the item that's in the slot. The right six grids each have 25 slots while the left grid is arranged specially (current equipment, if I were to guess).

[Rhianu]

Hmm, yes, inventory does seem like the most logical thing for those dots to represent, now that I think about it.

The six blocks on the right are perfect squares that each contain 25 dots (150 total), while on the left, the seventh block appears to be a bit irregular in its shape and contains 22 dots, bringing the total number of dots to 172.

We also know that the current inventory capacity is 200 items, so while 172 is obviously less than 200, I can't think of any other aspect of the game that could logically have that many little icons.

My guess would be that each block represents a bag, and the individual dots represent the items in the bag, and the color of the dot represents the condition of the item. That's just a guess, though. I could be completely wrong, , but I don't know what else they could be.
