Ask Questions for Letter from the Producer LIVE LX (UI Designer Kei Odagiri)

[NaiaLalita]

Could there be an indicator on the icons of gear that's already finished spiritbonding so we don't have to hover over every single piece of gear one by one? And on the note of spiritbonding, could you please remove the "warning" when finishing a spiritbond and going back to 1% to make it more distinguishable from the "retrieve materia" option? Right now both actions can accidentally get mixed up, both are related to materia and worded VERY similarly (retrieve vs extract), both offer a "warning" and there's no negative to finishing a spiritbond anymore (the gear is no longer lost) so that warning feels unnecessary.

I know of two different ways to handle this that exist in-game already.

First, there's the equipment/inventory UI. When your gear hits 100% spiritbond, the dots in the UI turn white. The alignment of the dots directly corresponds to your gear slots in your Character window, so it is not very difficult to navigate straight to the correct gear that can give you a free materia.

Second, there is the Materia Extraction/Materia Creation window. This is under Actions & Traits > General, and can be assigned to a hotbar for quick access. This is the preferred method to use if you're afraid you might "Retrieve" a materia rather than "Extract" one.

Would it be possible to add Gearset and Macro as a subcategory under the Hotbar text command? As it is right now, we have to manually drag-and-drop those elements on to hotbars and it would be far more clean if we could assign their slots via text command.

Can you add a search function to the Triple Triad card menu? We have menus for orchestrion rolls, minions and mounts but not for triple triad cards.

Is there any update on egi-glamours? I would be happy even if they need to be purchased from the mog station.

Alternates for Ifrit (Melee egis):
- Shiva (Using the ice sword and shield)
- Ravana

Alternates for Garuda (Ranged egis):
- Leviathan (Garuda's big ground aoe can be replaced by a large blue watery aoe from Leviathan)
- Ramuh

Alternates for Titan (Tank egis):
- Bismarck

Honestly, you could even not include Ravana and Bismarck and just keep it to the 2.xx egis and I feel like so many more people would be happy. Would love it if a dev could touch base on this...I've asked in the last few Q&A live letters but my question's been missed since it's likely not a priority.

Even glamours for the demi-Bahamut or demi-Phoenix would be amazing. I have always loved Summoners throughout the Final Fantasy series, but I'm sad that my favorite classic summons (Ramuh and Leviathan) cannot be summoned.

Is it possible to add a <destination> to /teleport that could be used in Macros?

This specifically helps gatherers who are going to the same aetherytes at specific eorzean times repeatedly during their play sessions.

Can we please have a Daily Duty Roulette created for PVP Rival Wings ? There's no one playing this game mode ( In North America ) and many of us actually enjoy Rival Wings. Rival Wings is the best PVP game mode that was introduced for FFXIV. It is unfortunate that there is no one playing Rival Wings because there is no Daily Duty Roulette bonus towards it.

[Zolvolt]

Can the blue mage spellbook have a search by name feature? Sometimes I remember the name, but not some of the filter options.

[Zolvolt]

Can we have more options to where floating combat text appears on screen? I really don't like my inc heals being in the middle of my screen

[Snowhti]

Is there any possibility to allow us have options to edit our UI since you already added light/dark mode versions?
We would love to add more colorful options to make our UI more interesting!

[ForctyusGold]

Can you please give back 24 man frontlines ? I know some maps are designed for 72 like Onsal, but others arent. Not everyone have a time at evening when usualy many people queue for this because under roulette.
