I just want a FF11 modern game.

Just come back to FFXI, the water is great over here. Monthly updates, devs and leadership who listen, known how to do their jobs and actually care about their game, content revamps to keep it current (limbus and beseiged are currently being redone), tons of official good qol updates and fans have made some great graphics mods that make the game beautiful. The compllete opposite of FFXIV in so many regards. Which is what happens when you have quality leadership. Fujito is very competent and really cares and it shows.

My one problem is that the interface and controls should be more modern. Unless there's mods for that, too.

There are addons that can create hotbars or something very similar to XIV's crosshotbar but the original controls are honestly fine once you get used to them. They just feel unintuitive at first to people who are coming from modern games because the game was created long before these things were standardised. It's like using a website that was built before UX conventions like hamburger and ... menus had been developed. Everything works, it just isn't designed the way that you're familiar with.

I found out after 15 years of playing that there are indeed kb shortcuts that let you bypass a lot of the menus and apparently compact keyboard setting lets you assign keybinds too. Which is helpful. If you are looking for a hotbar tho, your out of luck. Although you can always use the macro tabs for a close experience

There are tHotbar and tCrossbar for hotbars. I don't use them though. In game macros and keybinds are fine.

Good to know. I have so much muscle memory when it comes to FFXI that allow me to zip through menus and what not so quickly I seldom use shortcuts too.
