    It is absolutely amazing that people will "defend" something so utterly pointless as this.

    Like you really really need to know that you changed to "SCH *500" Its so important that after you opened the menu, or clicked your job macro, and saw the swirl around your character and the gear you're wearing change, that it also states that you changed jobs.

    Amazing.

    Those messages that bother you do not bother me, but I'm not against introducing more ways to tweak ui. I always welcome more ui options.
    You used the word "often"

    The information you are given on any normal gameplay day is in fact pointless and or redundant. Each time you teleport or change zones it tells you were you are. (Pointless and redundant for anyone who teleports using the teleport menu and clicks the location they want to go to.) ... in which it is absolutely impossible to teleport without using the teleport menu, and when you click the location, it asks you to confirm your location you are teleporting to.....

    When you queue for something it says "Duty Registration Complete" That is absolutely redunant.

    When you walk back and forth from the Aetheryte to the marketboard area in Limsa, it says "The Octant" and "Aetheryte Plaza" this is both redundant and pointless.

    When you click save after making changes to the UI it says "Changes saved" .. thats pointless.

    Please give me an example when its not pointless and or redundant, in so much that it needs to be directly in the middle of the screen.

    Because 99% of the information it says, especially outside of battle is 100% useless and or redundant.

    Also, I tune it out by just ignoring it. Most of the time I don't even realize I'm being fed this mundane stuff. It's like breathing, you don't realize you're doing it until some tells you that you're breathing.
    Except "someone tells you that you're breathing" is exactly what the complaint is. The game constantly "tells you you're breathing." That would be the exact same scenario to a real life situation. Its literally like someone right next to you telling you. "You're breathing. ... you scratched your head. .... you turned your head. You lowered your eyes. You're thinking of getting some food. You got out of your chair, you moved to the kitchen."

    Thats literally exactly what the game is doing. Its telling you where you are and what you're doing more than 50% of the time you're doing it.
