The new concept screenshot is a real-time in-game render!

[Kostya]

For those who don't want a moddable ui and say it'll add clutter and here look at the worst wow UI I've found ever that uses the default hotbars and map and 3 mods that haven't been resized or anything... look at this: http://www.wowuigallery.com/topic/tukui-v10

Addons don't necessarily mean clutter.

And maybe I just haven't looked at the screenshot hard enough but I see NO change in art style and it still looks pretty damn realistic. I want to know where this "it looks like a downgrade I don't like the style" is coming from.

I think that screenshot looks amazing and I'm excited.

Totally, I've had addon's that hide almost the whole UI or put up tones of info dependent on what's happening or at the flick of a key..
If they build that in as default as well as letting us mod it... win win imo.

Essentially the point I was trying to make.. It is a single screenshot, and like you said, alot of the stuff we see there we already have... Full parties consisting of 8 people. And as far as people complaining about the actual location of some of the widgets.. Seriously??!??!! Even in the current UI the widgets are movable, yet they complain like once 2.0 comes out, that is the screen they will get, period, end of sentence...

I'm all for discussion about the changes, but what I have seen from the people complaining are mostly childish complaints posted by people who obviously didn't bother to think anything through before posting their complaint.

I was trying to give constructive and sarcastic criticism at the same time, but its been a long day an don't think it worked lol..

But anyway I totally agree i think the whiners and just whining cos they are used to it, or they want a XI-2 or they want WoW or They want god knows what but meh...
Think there has been a lot of good complaining though, i know I've done a lot when i don't like what's happening but it does seem that rolls have taken root on the Pro and Anti Sides of every single idea now, an rant regardless even when we have constructive pro/con arguments put forward about things.

I just plan on champaign (aka browbeating YoshiP/Devs) to get the UI moved up to the same level in my mind as those new Graphics, that one is to common looking for the new FFXIV, we need something more Special imo..

But as I'm ranting I think I shall sleep lol..

Do you really blame us for thinking it was too good to be true?

yes actually, look at the chocobo, see how polygonal his wing is? you can almost see the lighting filter phasing on the wing too.
if you look at the effects youll see clipping in the ground, the mages magic orb is a good example in this pic. these are both things that wouldnt be so apparent in a rendering.

I'm sorry

But those Graphics are awesome and the same, It just has has a "Darker tone" as The 7th Umbra Era is lead into the "Darkness"

Agreed! I personally like the new dark undertone, as it tells me the game is probably going to become more mature.

God, any change always sends the regular crowd into the, "NO, it's becoming WoW!!!!" panic mode. It looks nothing like WoW. It looks nothing like Tera. By the way, Tu'lia was so realistic, along with Lumoria, right? Oh, and how about Promyvions? Those were realistic too! No, actually, they weren't. Big floating islands in the sky is not realistic, yet FFXI had them. Huge crystals sparkling and floating are not realistic, yet both XI and XIV have had them, along with a ton of other FF games. A zone that looked like the artist was tripping on acid while watching the Frieza saga of DBZ was not realistic, yet it was in XI.

You can have flying islands, an unlimited abyss, and all that sort and still make it realistic - which is something the FF series is known for. Mithras/Miqo'tes for instance actually do look like they'd be what such concepts would look like if they were in the real world, even if there is no such thing as a catgirl in the world. Everything in FFXI does in fact look realistic, even if the concepts themselves aren't realistic, which is what makes it realism to begin with.

It looks dark.. A bit too dark.. That may change the entire game feeling.
But I want to see more before I can definitly say that.

I hope it does change the game's feeling... we need more darker MMORPGs.

Yodhida said they are going to allow player aps or whatever they are called. Add-ons. Just think how awesome it will be if our UI looked like this.

/sarcasm

That WoW Interface is so cluttered You almost can't see anything. Though I guess with enough useful add-on you don't have to see anything as all the clutter will tell you everything you need like when I play WoW, I usually have tunnel vision on my Healing Grid watching little bars go up and down and I've set up sounds if i get aggro or am in an AOE so I know to move my character.

The beauty of add-ons is that no matter how much SE changes the UI someone can make a mod to look like our current UI so nothing changes for you. And about the clutter UI, Why do people always assume they will do the worst given the option to do so? Sounds to me like this is just complaining for the sake of complaining.

All of this is your fault. If all of this was so bad for your gaming experience why didn't you take them off?

To all the people saying the second action bar is the Chocobo's action bar...

It isn't. It has gladiator skills, War Drum, Cure, and Raise on it. You can see this clearly if you zoom in on the higher resolution version of the screenshot.

I have to say I am glad Yoshi-P is running things now because the new art direction is much better to me(not that the current one is hideous or anything).

[Medura]

Please make the traditional FF battle menu for gamepad. Just optional.
f.e.
Attack
Skills
Magic
Items

I'm getting sick of this WOW kind shit.

Thank you.

Ooo, if I make an add-on, its gonna be this!

Though, i wanna add one thing too, last used Skill
