Let us hide HUD outside of the battle or....!!!

... only show when we press a button, alot of game nowady do it, and it call dynamic HUD or something similiar

We do have a button to hide the HUD, I use it for taking screenshots sometimes, or when I am on a mount flying somewhere scenic.
IIRC it is the Scroll Lock button.

I'm not sure how dynamic HUDs work, but it would be cool to have something that would hide the hotbars / non-essential items. What we have now hides everything and isn't all that great to use while in combat - especially as a healer. :3

dynamic HUD is you chose certain information to be hide automatic when you just casual going around, do craft or stuff, but immediately show up when you enter the battle without a need to press any button, thing like hot bar, crosshot bar, job gauce or your HP can be hide this way since they are not need outside of the battle, in this game we only have an option to complete hide them or leave them there on the screen

L1+Pressing the touch pad on ps4 will give the desired effects.

Or Scroll Lock on the keyboard for a PC player. It's just not automatic.

I personally thought of it some time ago, and made a rework on all of my UI.
I've made a macro for when I press Z it unsheathes the weapon and shows the actions.
I would like to hide the Job Gauge too, but it's impossible.




This is the macro for the ones who get the idea:

/macrolock
/battlemode
/hotbar display 1
/hotbar display 2
/hotbar display 3
/hotbar display 4
/hotbar display 5
/hotbar display 6 off
/hotbar display 7
/hud Param
/hud DutyList

Then add Z to some Hotbar key and hide it. Ex: Hotbar 9.

hotbars can already be set to hidden when out of combat, check your settings

Well damn, I'll have to go play with that. I tend to toggle my hotbars manually with a macro, but this could be nice.

I think OP would like the option to auto-hide various hotbars when you enter combat then have them auto-show when you leave combat. It would be great to hide those bars you have with buttons to change jobs, you know the ones that you can't use while in combat anyways.
