Thread: Will v. 2.0 feature item linking in chat?

yes yes yes yes yes

We should be able to link not only items, but even quests, actions etc.
And i hope they will implement "right click feature" .. For example: right click on a character to see
all the possible interaction, like invite, follow, tell, examine etc.
Last thing i would be able to click on character names in chat to tell them directly, or right click on them > invite..

Well all these things should make ffxiv ui at least at the same level of other mmorpg.

Lol I have been playing this game for so long I had forgoten such features were the norm in other mmos. This would be so nice to be able to do. Instead of typing out /pcmd add "insert players ridiculously long name here". Making your own party and inviting players that send you tells which you cant actualy see to click on is one of the most anoying things in this game. The more i think about it the more it makes sense that version 2.0 with a new client/server structure was there only way out of the mess tanaka made with the game.

I can't think of any downsides at all.

You can hate WoW as much as you want, but they did these right.

yeah i forgot to mention those 2 things .. let's hope... (Y)

Yes yes yes! Being able to click names in chat, and item linking, are both fantastic quality-of-life features.

I, too, support this idea. However, my only concern is how they can implement this for PS3 users.. either it will be a PC-only feature, or make use of some clever way of 'clicking' the text in chat.
