FFXIV's user interface is ugly....

Personally, I don't mind it. And i'm playing on a 16.4" laptop screen. But what does annoy the hell out of me, is the inability to put my 4 chat log tabs on one bar, and switch between them via the keyboard. Or quick expand it. Please bring that back.

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?

It is very, very unlikely that you'll ever see multiple windows. This game is designed with controller accessibility in mind first and foremost. I would like to see a softer shade of blue for the backgrounds, however.

I don't think UI mods really give a big advantage.... in WOW for example i can play just as well with the standard UI or with all my mods on. That being said, they don't need to gives us MODs, they could just change the current UI for something better, because i find it very poorly designed.

PS3 having a HDD.... wouldn't it be possible to use Mods?

Having played WoW for many years, one of the things I despised most about the game was the addons. You were basically required to have X addons if you wanted to do anything endgame. Having to update a half-dozen or more addons every single patch was quite annoying.

On the positive side, see above. Addsons have as much likelihood of happening as multiple windows, for exactly the same reason (I would be very, very surprised if they made the PS3 version addon-capable).

If anything it's not minimalistic enough for me. FFXI's UI was perfection in my eyes, small and out of my face! I like to see the scenery what can I say?

As for UI mods, not really a fan of that I'd rather we push SE to add things that we need. Problem with mods is they can give an advantage and if their creators stop supporting the game you lose a mod you've come to depend on.

Agreed on all points.
