Also an article on the official PlayStation blog describing the menu and the user interface, which is indeed pretty much like the XMB menu of the PlayStation 3. It also looks like the action menu will be more controller friendly, which is nice.

In FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn we’ve put an extra emphasis on customisation. Knowing that everyone has their own personal tastes, not to mention the need to have a load-out that’s compliments the character and role you’re playing in-game, all of the UI elements that you see in the screenshots can be enabled, disabled, and repositioned to suit your preferences. Menus are also simple to navigate with the command you’re looking for being only a few button presses away.
