Idea: Expansion Themed UI's

[Ryuichi_Kato]

I've been thinking about ideas for the next set of UI themes in FFXIV, could be like, so I want it to share with you.

We currently have a variety of UI themes: Dark | Light | Classic FF | Clear Blue. (By the way, it would be amazing to have more clear color themes ).

It would be great when we will get more, some day ... perhaps tied to the expansions themselves.

Similar to how the title screen with changes each expansion, new UI themes could be unlocked by playing though it and the theme could reflect the vibe and setting of each expansion.

For example:

• Heavensward: A colder aesthetic with stony ornaments and textures.
• Stormblood: A warm design, maybe featuring flames or a theme similar to the Four Lords Adventure Plate.
• (Admittedly, it's hard to describe exactly, but I hope you get the idea!)

I understand that designing UI themes requires a lot of effort and shouldn't be the highest priority, but it would be nice if we could get something like this someday. (Maybe also a customizable / changeable Character select screen like this?)

These are just some ideas I wanted to share—let me know what you think!

On that note, I'm still waiting for version 1.0's 'ye old sepiatone' UI theme (I mean, we got a 'classic FF' style theme that emulated the pre FFVIII FF game UI themes, so a 1.0 theme is natural).

Doesn't the Light theme already give the sepia look!

Different style, it's not just the colour of the menu/text windows, 1.0's theme also had a more old fashioned look in it's menus and icons (the 'classic' theme changes the style to resemble the 8 and 16 bit FF game UIs so it should be possible to do the same for a hypothetical 1.0 or 'Legacy' theme).

I'm not exactly filled with confidence I'll ever see it added though, but I haven't fully lost hope!
