Wishlist for new UI enhancements after announcements

[Erinellza]

PVP Combos except for PvE

Only if it's optional, please and thanks. I enjoy pressing many buttons. The lack of buttons is what killed the new SMN for me. Also, currently existing PvE combos (like RDM's Verholy/Scorch, etc) should have the option to be on separate buttons if that's what the player prefers!

300% bust slider

same but for posterior.

I would also like speech bubbles, though. It is almost impossible for me to hold a conversation in public spaces without them. I don't want to have to go through the effort of looking for the face of someone who's talking just to know who to respond to. It also doubly sucks for roleplaying unless you're in a closed, private area and are not using whispers or party chat.

Can we PLEASE get some sort of indicator of the distance from your target? I want to see if the player I'm targeting is 15y away or 16y so I can cast my healing skills accordingly.

Auto-approach. Please, let me auto approach players in dungeons when trying to cast Benefic 2.

I'm so happy to see this thread. I'm partially blind and although I don't use any kind of add-ons since I'm on console, I do have every possible option in the game enabled to make things easier to read, target, etc.

One thing I'd really like is in PVP, when other characters start attacking you, your controller rumbles. Sometimes I can't see well enough to know I'm being focused and by the time I react it's too late. Of course, players should have the option to turn it on and off.

[Avidria]

A better/clearer indicator for where max melee range actually is (or just distance from target in general)

More options to split UI elements up and scale them separately

More clarity in where to go to edit different elements... other than needing to just click around to see what exists and what doesn't, unless there's something I managed to miss somewhere I've had to go hunting for things that seemed to be in odd or unclear places more than once

A way to get much bigger numbers on the cooldown timers because I just straight up can't read the ones we have now

More font scaling options, including for the world map because the text seems to be either so tiny I need to zoom way far in to see it or it's in that crazy unreadable font (or Eorzean maybe? Idk)

More options for changing nameplate and target indicator colors (I think FC still isn't a separate option?

More levels of "show party effects" or whatever the combat effect option is called, with more clarity on what is being hidden with each

More options for what buffs/debuffs to show beyond just "everything" or "only mine" - specifically I want to be able to see just my own debuffs on the boss and also anything I can overwrite from other players (like feint or same class buffs) because showing everything is just an absolute ton of clutter that makes it effectively useless for me, especially in 24 man raids or hunts, but showing only mine means I'm missing information I could potentially need

I made a thread about this, but I would love speech bubbles as an options since they already have the assets in the game.

I mean just make it as a toggle to have it on or off, this could be great for people that RP and to know if someone is writing mid raid fight in case an adjustment needs to be made on the fly.

I know it is not UI and more of a Character customisation option, but still something that would be great to have imo, makes it feel more immersive, at least to me ^^

It would be great if they made it so you could choose which combos you wanted to use instead of all or nothing.

I forgot to mention this before in my long length wishlist but the name of where I am near the map or clock so I don't have to pull my map open. I would just like to know where I am at all times location wise. South shroud, dungeon locations like when in Qarn it would say Qarn, the exact spot on the map and Thanalan I thinks its southern thanalan. I would like that as well, you could literally just take the map text and put it near the clock. which I have the mini map above it. Also in the same sense also gathering nodes to show up on the big map as well as on the mini map.

Edit: also devs please just hire or speak with the people who have a plugin or mod to give hats to Viera and Hrothgar. Done, check it over make sure it isn't spyware and implement it like every other game known to man. Or do as minecraft did say 'it is totally my work' and steal it. Every game that says they do not support mods or plug ins goes this route. It is also like when J J abrams made star wars expanded universe 'non canon' so he could literally steal all of the stories make them way less interesting and say they were totally his ideas.

Only one job could get away with a combined combo button, which is Reaper.

Not really. dragoon makes it back to chaos thrust with like 7-8 sec left on the dot, and as long as you refresh disembowel before it falls off nothing is lost, no timing needed. you dont just not press buttons waiting on the dot to time out.

if you mess around too much with your rotation you lose more dmg than you gain. drg gains more than it loses by just consolidating its combos into 1 button.

If you come back to Chaotic Spring with 8 seconds left on the DoT you are woefully unqualified to talk about DRG gameplay.
