Ability to turn off Linkshell icons and our own names

[gifthorse]

If it bothers you that much turn it all off. Adding in these options are nearly pointless. So you only want to see half of a character's name? What good would that do?

In battle, I know who is who without having my screen cluttered by unnecessary information.

In town, I don't accidentally run past someone I know because i have /names off and didn't recognise them.

I play with /names off as much as possible because I hate the clutter it adds to my screen but I would really like to be able to tell who is who and what mobs are around me without having it clutter up my screen. Hence this whole thread.

And Also i know there are seperate teams for UI and content. But... gotta understand again anything added to the game, makes the game bigger. The larger the game more space is taken. With all these options Id be surpised if by the time the game is out for the ps3 if anyone is going to have the HDD room, even if they clear everything from it.

Which is my concern not being negative.

The ps3 is of no concern atm (I'm eagerly awaiting the release but it's the truth), and ps3's not only have ALOT more storage than ps2/11 had but access to more advance compression methods lol They know what to do, just look at the insane amount of content they keep adding to 11's and it STILL fits on the measly hdd. So no it's not a concern it's just more negativity esp with the ps3 release far away. A simple UI change like that takes almost no time to code and doesn't take away from other dev time as has been posted by the devs themselves and yoshida from previous UI changes right here on these forums!!! A UI change even uncompressed btw would take mere kb's of data not MB's or GB's.

There's nothing confusing or bad about adding customization for the people who want or NEED it. As been's stated already turning all names off affects GAMEPLAY that you don't really have the option to turn it off due to things like claims and party! Good news though is Yoshida recognizes the need to toggle and customize esp after the huge response to the agro icons when released so just give them time, hopefully they'll add it^^

You may recall that all I was asking for was ability to turn off some icons and some names. It's not like that puts a burden on space. They aren't adding anything to the game, merely taking some stuff away.
