Pop-Out Chat (Multiple Monitors)

We all have multiple monitors. As a Streamer, I need to hide my FC chat, but I don't want to ignore them either.

Can you allow chat to pop out in a separate window of the game? This would allow me to see a larger version of my chat window on another screen.

This would seriously reduce clutter on the screen and make us all so very, very happy.

Would you ever consider putting important dots that affect gameplay (Like Bard and Summoner) or DoTs that can be kept up at all times (like healer DoTs) on a seperate Class UI element to make them easier to follow instead of having to follow tiny debuff icons. I understand that that would cause problems when switching to other targets that dont have the debuff but still, just asking for future posibility.

This is Black Mage specific
Is it possible to add a timer for our Thundercloud proc to the Job Gauge instead of the little buff icon? It would make things less hectic if you have all your timers in one spot instead of keeping track of two things while also avoiding boss mechanics.

In order to fully appreciate the need for some Adventurers to expand their borders, could you introduce Level 80 FATES in Eorzea? Also, could you suspend some Gathering Node locations, i.e. Iron ore in Western Thanalan? This would introduce the idea of drought, famine, overpopulation, catastrophe in areas considered exempt from these natural occurrences. For example, in California, United States, wild fires have destroyed millions of acres of land forcing these people to migrate elsewhere. I think people who stay in ARR have a false sense of security. Please teach a lesson where ignorance isn't bliss but can be very detrimental.

Hello there!
Is there any chance we can have parts of the UI fade out when combat is triggered? I have actions bars that are not combat related and would like to have them fade away in combat to free up more space on the screen. This also applies to say the inventory slots, money etc.
Thanks!

This is a good suggestion and I would like to expand on it a bit!
Could we get a setting that lets us adjust the opacity of HUD elements depending on the two main situations a player finds themselves in; while in combat and out of combat?
As this player said, there are actionbars etc that are not relevant while in combat and having those fade away would help free up more space! The same goes for out of combat though, there are a lot of actionbars etc that are not relevant and having those fade away would allow for a cleaner UI and let the player appreciate their surroundings more!

Is it possible to make an option available from the Hall of the Novice window to request back into the Novice Network? Or a "nearby mentors" window? sometimes new players change their minds on how much they need the chat channel or are overwhelmed and it can be a pain to find a Mentor to invite you around the game. I play with several friends newer than me to the game but I'm not a good teacher myself, especially for ps4 players. It can get frustrating.

Would it be possible when posting multiples of the same items on the Market Board for the MB to remember what price you set for the 1st of those items so you don't have to manually type in price for the same thing 10... 15 times.

This has been bothering me for a while, I came from other MMOs and it usually the same.. is quite a success recipe... if you are clicking in a spell you don't need to dismount first or target first, the game will try to find the closest target and dismount you automatically. Because it knows you want to fight... it is a pain to have to dismount and then target and then use a spell...

PS: a click to move would be great as well

When customizing my HUD layout the Duty button and Action are in a separate category now. So when I'm moving them around the other HUD boxes disappear and I can't tell if they are overlapping or not unless I have a duty action at the time. Could you put the duty action button and bar with the other HUD elements so I can more easily make them not overlap?

Any plans for a world chat feature only available after completing a certain quest etc?
