Possibility to open FFXIV up to a moddable UI?

[Verecund]

No. No. No.

I do not want FFXIV to turn into this.

Wow, I can almost see the fire on the ground in between epileptic seizures!

The problem is certain mods become "standard" and "required" -- this is true for every MMO that allows them and it quite frankly kills game enjoyability if I have to start using certain mods in order to be "efficient".

I do miss the days of gaming when you can just..have fun.

I really hope we don't get moddable UIs. All I ever heard from friends playing WoW was that you couldn't play if you didn't have x, y, and z, mod, and you had to have it set up in such and such a fashion to even enjoy the game. Let the UI designers do their thing.

As I said above there is a big difference between letting modders change the UI and giving them the access to manipulate game mechanics to their advantage.

Think of it as someone with the addon having the same information just arranged differently on the screen.

There it is. If the UI is designed properly to begin with, there will be no need for UI mods.

This will never happen due to PS3.

PS3 can allow mods but it is more trouble than it's worth to keep the equality because the PC will get quicker and more community driven mods while the PS3 would only get sanctioned ones.

Not if they are submitted to SE for testing and cross platform optimisation.

SE is going to hire and/or create a team to check community UI Mods? Get real, it's not going to happen. I honestly cannot even think of any other info that needs to be displayed on the UI.
