    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.

    The one we have right now doesn't match with the "medieval" theme. Neither have a majority of the other Final Fantasy games. They've always used the Dark Blue background with white text.

    Heck, looking at other Fantasy themed games like TERA and WoW, their UIs aren't even themed to the game.

    Unless you want Ultima Online's boring, drab, UI, go play that >_>
