FFXIV Fan Made Client (Concept only)

[ShizumiNeko]

Hello everyone!! While waiting for ShadowBringer I played around with making a concept fan made a client for FFXIV (this is not a real client only images)

I tired to used assets all ready in use with the game along with some found on the FFXIV site.

Check it out at https://www.andrewsalfinger.com/ffxiv-client-2019

The way the client would work is your greeted with the news section page, down below where it says update would say login where on you press it will be greeted with the login menu.

Once you login you will have access to check who is online

Send messages

Check your character and more.

What do you all think? And What would you like added to the client / how you think it should look comment below and I will try to make a new client with your suggestions below!

Thank you for your time and have a great day.

I like it.

Seriously, the main launcher I don't think has changed in over five years and looks like it's twice as old as that. We could definitely use a change on that front.

Ok first question, how will this launcher work on console which is required to go through the internet browser to log in?

I do like the look of it very nicely done

But this is the issue with getting an official launcher update, any launcher update would have to be compatible with both PC and PS4 SE are very prone to not updating ffxiv to benefit one game client over another outside of QoL changes and this is probably the reason why it hasn't received an update after all these years its sucky but i rather they keep it that way so that SE keeps things as fair as possible among their playerbase

Yeah, I was hoping for an update to the launcher once PS3 support stopped

PS4 doesn't log in through the web browser. It launches as its own program, and only opens the PS4 web browser if you try to follow any of the news links instead of logging in.

It still requires the internet browser to connect and if PS network is down you have no chance of getting in at all. The login page is based on the browser and the settings effect whether it works or not, it isn't a completely independent launcher.

Not only that, why would I want to access all these things out of the game right when I'm about to log in to the game?

Granted the GUI looks fantastic. I wish we had all those features on the worthless companion app.

To be honest, anything other than what we got right now will be awesome. Any update really...

But also good job on the design, I like it. It looks sleek and tidy, and I like the character stuff.

Looks modern and slick. Nice design.
