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

Would it be possible to let us add custom text in Sticker Mode? We currently have speech bubbles, but no way to say anything in them!

Normal text in the bubbles is very much needed! But adding custom text in the same style as the Duty Complete/Level Up! text, or the character name/date and time text, would also be very welcome!

Are there any plans to revamp the vendor's or the retainer's interface?

I've played this game since the beta and to put it blutly, the User Experience / Usability of most vendors is terrible, in my opinion, the biggest problem are the category selection at the start, that forces you to interact with the npc every single time until you find the correct one. I have to say thought, that Rowena's Representatives are good step in the right direction.

Is not entirely related to UI, but are there any plans to increase the texture resolution of the game (or a high resolution pack for PC)?
Some textures are so low resolution that up close (in cut scenes specially) distract from the great art direction this game has.

Thanks for your hard work!

Will you ever implement rearrangement of squadron members or are anything to do with them not on your worklist anymore?

As the game ages and new companies move forward with technologies such as DLSS and ray tracing I would really like to know if the developers plans for this game is to let it age as is until it becomes replaced or if there will be an effort to make sure it keeps up with new technologies?

Most long term players put heavy emphasis on Glamours, Housing and Aesthetics because it is one of the few things to do and farm once the MSQ is done and the raid tiers are cleared.

While new content is fun and the way the story line is told has become brilliant I cant help but feel that Graphics are massively important to me and a huge set of the gaming community as we have just witnessed from the incredible demand for Nvidia's new graphics card launch.

I would love to hear a statement from the Developer Team to do something to update the game graphically or at least the assurance that no such plans are in the work so I no longer have to wonder. Open communication is very important and this topic has always remained in abstract terms.

Please make it so we can export, and share our UI to other players both on PC and PS4. It is a travesty that new players only have 2 hotbars with job classes and many never expand beyond it.

Alternatively, please update the UI to include 4 hotbars upon acquiring jobs.

In the Fishing Guide (record of caught fish), currently there's no way to see if you have caught a particular fish without having to scroll through multiple pages, looking at each one individually. With 500+ fish in the game, this takes quite a while... (10 minutes to find one squid for crafting)
In addition, when you open the fishing log, it always puts you back at the top of la noscea instead of on the hole you were looking at last. As someone collecting all the fish (including the ocean fishing ones) this can be frustrating to constantly scroll through the various parts of the UI to see if there's any more species in the hole I am currently at.

As a quality of life option, can we have a search bar in the fishing guide and have the fishing log open where the cursor was last set before closing please?

[Porelius]

In the gathering logs, would it be possible to add what bait you can use on fish you have already caught, and possibly add locations for items you have you have found on miner and botanist?

[SenorPatty]

Regarding the map UI, when you hover your mouse over vendor icons, could you please add more description to these vendor icons. For example, if an npc deals in Scrip Exchange, it does not show up when you hover your mouse over that vendor on the map.

For the Chat Log UI, would it be possible to add adjustable text spacing between players' messages (e.g. Discord has "Cozy", "Compact" for text spacing) or other Accessibility Options to make it more easily readable? The text in the Chat Log is very vertically close together and is difficult to read for extended periods of time.

As a follow up to this, the ability to have player names appear in bold would be VERY nice, thank you.
