chat window that opens

[Fated]

FFXIV's current chat logs are better than FFXI's. The only problem is the lack of customization which will hopefully be implemented come 2.0.

Agreed that it's more streamlined, but FF11's had far superior readability, yet lacked in-game font customization & sizing.
FF14 should eventually have this.

My ONLY, and biggest, concern is that we won't have textured backgrounds
(one of the things that actually made me not dread reading the chatlog, unlike countless MMOs i've played). Right now we have the ugly black to transparent background with text.

I really hope they give us templates for textures to use in 2.0 to help with readability & customization.


EDIT: Can't deny opening the entire chatlog with a few clicks/presses. I really miss that feature sometimes.

I actuallly quite like the logs. the idea to have an option for 2 log windows is genious.

i can keep all my party chat, ls chat, tells etc completely seperate from all the battle spam and general crap. i personally think it's brilliant.

i just wish i could could have more than 2 tabs. so i can have maybe 3 or 4 sets of filters. if i'm shooting stuff with my arc it really isnt important how much damage the tank gets hit for. as i an arc i cant do bugger all to help. as a healer i dont really need to know how much damage people people are doing i just need to keep em standing. and other examples for other classes could quite easily run through 3 or 4 combat filter sets i think.

i do however agree that it would be nice to scroll using gamepad. maybe press select twice to go from statuses to chat logs or something such. think thats kinda how it worked in xi i never really used a gamepad much on that one though
