Thread: 4.1 npc text scaling

What about the fix added in 4.01?
---
Display Settings

The option "Enlarge system UI" has been added under "User Interface Size."
This setting is only available when User Interface Size is set to 100%.
Enabling this setting will allow players to restore the size of UI elements such as the main menu and chat log window to that of patch 3.57.
Restoring UI elements to patch 3.57 sizes.

1. Under User Interface Size select 100% and check the box Enlarge System UI.
2. Under Default UI Size set Default Size to 140% and apply changes to all UI components.

It's posted with pictures here in the patch notes, but it's a quirk with the resolution changes that came with Stormblood.

I believe this is just for PS4 players. I cannot say if this was removed for PS4 players or not. But what I can say as a PC player, and as the OP has stated, that we can no longer change the UI scaling for the NPC Dialogue Box. You used to be able to right-click the box, and while holding down right-click, left-click the options to scale to a difference percentage (and I believe this was the same for PS4 with the virtual mouse mode). Now when you right-click the box, nothing happens.

What I propose is that the devs add the dialogue box to the HUD layout menu to be tweaked in there, along with everything else HUD related, and call it a day

If they think it's working as intended then they clearly either don't know how it worked before or don't know how it's working now. I set my UI to 150% and scaled down everything to where I wanted it. Text in the dialog boxes is still tiny. Before you could right click them and scale it up to 140% manually, which made it nice and huge for sitting back away from the TV. Now no matter what setting you choose it's either tiny or slightly less tiny, but the text size itself never gets to that big 140% level.

My wife is legally blind, but close to 20/20 with corrective lenses. Before they removed it, she could play just fine. Now she can barely do an hour's worth of questing before getting a headache from trying to read the text.

I really hope they do something about this soon. She's enjoying the game and would love to play more.
