Fully Scaleable UI

[Laraul]

I've been playing lotro in the time off just till we all start beta and ffxiv gets fully back online. I played it long time ago around 2007. What I am noticing right off the bat is I'm 39 with bad eyesight. I love mmo's but seeing the stuff is getting more challenging for me. In lotro I can scale other things besides chat log font. I can make the minimap or radar bigger or the names of objects on screen larger. My vitals can also be made larger. So I can see better much health and mana I have . I know this is not what everyone needs but it is something I and probably more then they care to admit could benefit from. This is by now way a change to the game I think should be earth shattering just more helpful. I for one need and want a more scalable UI. Please let us make things larger on screen while keeping 1080p resolution. Thanks.

There is no scalable UI. You are simply able to drag UI elements anywhere you like. Some UI elements are stretchable, but they can not be enlarged. As far as I know the only way to have a larger UI is to run the game at a lower resolution.

This video (as well as all the other videos on finalfantasyxiv.com) shows the game running at 960x540. 1920x1080 is 400% larger. In other words the UI will be one quarter of the size shown. So you have a very tiny UI.
