Could you add a Storm's Eye timer to WAR's job gauge? It's a hassle to look at a tiny icon all the time.

Just please leave the option to keep it on our Status Bars as well.

(I still find it far easier to track even long buffs there than via the job gauge...)

will you ever add a way to delete multiple items at once from the inventory and armoury?
instead of constantly deleting one item at a time.

also the ability to desynth multiple items at once would be conveniënt as well

Greetings Odagiri-San! I love the changes you made to the game's UI in Patch 4.2 for larger icons (buffs / debuffs etc.) for us players with poor eyesight. Some of the fonts such as Buff and Debuff timers however have very thin fonts and are hard to read even when increased to a larger size. Is it possible to use a different font, increase the size of buffs and debuffs even more than 200%, or make them stand out more? Thank you.

This for sure. When you upscale most elements in the UI, it's all blurred out or pixelated. It does not look good and it does not help people that have a bit of a visual impairment.
Also, a lot of times I find myself I could use something in between the 60 and 80%. It would be nice if we could resize and stretch certain UI elements to our liking, instead of having to adapt the options that we have.

We need an option to disable glamour plate messages. I don't want to disable certain system notifications on the chat, because they are needed. There's no reason to have to deal with this clutter.

Would the dev team please consider better target debuff filtering? I feel that not everyone needs to know how many and how long every other SMN/BRD/WHM/AST/SCH's dots have left, and that only the most important debuffs on an enemy target should be shown, such as your own debuffs, and a limited selection including but not limited to Trick Attack, Feint/Addle, Sleep/Repose, Chain Strategem, and Doton.
