Discussion: User Created UI Addons?

[TimonLoon]

Is this confirmed? Or rather, can you link a source for this? If so, I am officially extremely excited. Scaleform is a substantially slower than Lua, but for UI development I'd much rather work in Flash than in Lua. Not to mention that as an API architecture, it's a much simpler environment to work in.

It was mentioned very briefly in one of the French articles from Gamescom. Can't find the quote anymore though. But yeah looking at the addons available for RIFT gets me excited about what stuff we'll see in FFXIV 2.0.

Edit: Found it. Hmm doesn't outright confirm it but after looking at the presentation demo... when they were moving stuff around is the part where it looks the most like that platform. Btw it also pans out since in the BG interview when 2.0 was initially announced, Yoshi said that the UI will be flash-based. So it makes sense that they use this.

l'interface utilisateur PC. Cette interface PC semble être faite avec Scaleform, un standard dans le genre qui a fait ses preuves (notamment sur Rift par exemple, ou Starwars : The Old republic).

Um, I would like to see Linkshell related addons. o.o/

I would particularly like a calendar of events and Linkshell news, if that's not already part of the game client. I feel like Linkshells should be run from the game itself and not from a website (though websites can still be useful.)

This, so bad.
