    FFXIV's user interface is ugly....

    Anyone else agrees? I get the blue background which is a FF trademark kind of.... but the menus and all look like something that was designed 10-15 years ago... Maybe they should forget the drop downs and go for tabs and redo the whole design or even better, let us do mods so we can customize the way the menus look....

    It doesn't impact gameplay at all and it's not by any means a priority but i hope that down the road they will change it.

    It is just ugly and depressing to look at....

    i am sure they will add some color sliders and other backgrounds, as in most other FF titles.
    (soon i hope)
    i have to agree that i expected a more epic UI look...

    multiple windows is definitely a must and so are tabs IMO. But i'd want more then just background colors. We need texturized backgrounds, some design on the edges, contrasting tones... better designed buttons. They need to change the layout too....

    U know... just make it more attractive. Isn't making things look pretty SE's specialty?

    If I were king, I would run with the initial (all white) screen. Minimalist and pure. That would be epic if they could expand upon that look and feel.

    Yes, it's very clunky and the size of the menus, bars and such take up too much space on the screen in addition that they keep adding to it (when they moved rank and physical bars and when the targeting option was added). Furthermore, a lot of things can't be re sized so those playing on a smaller resolution have more clutter problems.
