I don't mean the layout really. For example I love that cross-style they use for the gamepad setting. I think that will be used possibly on PC too and if so that's gonna be awesome. But okay let's take this picture for example:



Look in the top right hand corner of the image. See the connection icon? It feels out of place a little to me. Let's view a few more pieces. The HP/MP/TP bars for example, the Level bar is another. In fact if you go back to the concept art they released back when 2.0 was first announced you'll see a bit more what I mean. The style, rather the theme I guess to be more accurate, feels a little too futuristic.

They really do look nice, I don't deny that at all. My only concern was that it felt a little too futuristic in the theme and appearance to suit the setting for FFXIV. By setting I mean the world, Hydaelyn if you want to be technical. Anyway I don't know if I'll use a reskin or not, depends if it can be minimal and still look well made. In past games I've played that support the whole "reskinning" deal often they have little bugs in them or glitches that just don't look as good as the original.

Maybe this is just one example of the UI themes available, I recall in FFXI (In fact most FF games offered alternate themes including the console titles.) there were varying window styles on top of the default original one. Guess we'll have to see.
