UI needs to be changed (or have options)

[Noblewar]

I don't understand why we're getting a 21st century UI with a 14th century battle theme.

The UI needs to be changed. This isn't starwars! And it isn't a final fantasy based on technology. Look at the airships, they are classy old style fantasy, the airships that the final fantasy community fell in love with, an icon of the series.

There is nothing in FFXIV and doesn't seem like there will be anything in 2.0 that indicates the technology of the game advances so fast to make us future soldiers like Iron Man.

So please change the UI or give us more options because this just doesn't really flow right.

I feel like you are in the minority.

But who knows.

All the UI will pretty much be able to be changed with Add-ons, so if you don't like it in 2.0 make yourself a new one.

I don't know what you're talking about.

My LS mate said the same thing, I think if you could just adjust the hue of the colors people would like that
I personally like it but I know some might be off-put by the vibrant colors

Before this thread goes any further: the UI will be customizable and moddable in 2.0.

I think the UI is great. There's a difference between "streamlined" and "futuristic"; I get where you're coming from, OP, but I think they're aiming to make the game considerably more varied in terms of settings (a mix of classic fantasy and futuristic elements), so the UI design seems like it will sit happily in between those two extremes.

The only thing I'd change is that the action bar icons need some more diversity among them (too many of them look too similar to one another), but the rest of it looks great.

The UI is great but it just doesn't flow right. If this was Halo or Crysis, maybe even MW/BF game I think it would be awesome.

When you look at a picture without the UI you see how it doesn't represent any futuristic elements.
