GUI

As long as equipped Items stop taking up an inventory slot, I'll be happy

Depending on how the combat mechanics work and how fast-paced the game is, the menu-based GUI you guys are looking for to have when the customization tools are released may not be feasible.

Why does this topic even exist? We already know what the UI is going to be like, at this point it's not gonna change.

I just want it to work.. User friendly, fast, etc.. I don't care if it looks like WoW's, or Tera's, or Rifts.. Just make it work.

They displayed an early version of ARR's new UI at Gamescon last year. It looks different than the old UI and seems to have some customizable options.

OMG it's an MMO! WoW clone! They're totally copying WoW just by existing!

....(seriously, people need to calm down).

But sure, I'm in favor of a new interface, but I won't care either way as long as its fun. Just don't all go on a rampage if it even slightly resembles one or the other.

Just to borrow the quote ...

Why would you want to use multi-keystroke/click selection, when the same can be done via one key-combo/click?

Now, do this against a few hundred mobs in a time-limited dungeon run; don't go crying to SE when you cannot complete the dungeon in the allotted time limit.

Personally I'd prefer one similar to FFXI, I think it gives a nice trtaditional JRPG feeling.

Also, I like having my 80-something spells available to me, instead of like 10.
This is something i really dislike about XIV compared to XI, when I'm playing a mage class.
To me, being so limited on the spells part feels like missing out on something.

It doesn't -have- to be like ffxi, but it should be comfy to use and still give us full options.

More than anything, I don't want the KB controls to be mouse-dependent.

This! Playing for more then 30 mins when games require mouse AND keyboard really hurt my wrist and I don't really care for it >_< keyboard only should definitely be an option imo. Does not have to be the ONLY option but I really hope they give us this choice in the beta/release...lot of people have been asking for it from what I've seen.

Also the spells...please please, more options is better SE! BLM to play in 1.0 was so boring it made me sad

Idc as long as it enables me to play the game and not be over encumbered by hitting 10 buttons to shoot my bow.

Also I'm all for anything that doesnt require me to carry around 5 sets of gear per job because every little thing I do needs a different piece of gear and a swap macro created for it. ---worst part of ffxi hands down

I'm with a lot of people on this thread, as long as I can use it without going around my ass to get to my thumb i'm game for it
