Possibility to open FFXIV up to a moddable UI?

[viion]

I know this was mentioned pre-release via Tanaka, I don't know if it is still under consideration as it hasn't been mentioned this.

You'll always have the argue of what is considered the fine line of modding or <something negative here>

PLEASE GOD NO!

We spend enough time looking at our health bars and whatever else, let's not add more stupid bars and timers to look at, which is what will happen if we are allowed to mod the UI.

Um... What? Lets go through this step by step for your brain
1. Oh I can mod UI
2. *turns of HP*
3. I like my mod.

What will happen is eventually it will become mandatory to have certain timers, bars, and other monitors to be functional in the game and then your UI will be cluttered with crap.

I doubt this actually many people came up with things for FFXI to display spell recast and timers on screen, of course it made FFXI more user friendly. I never used them because I was pretty sure it's against the ToUA.

Edit: I do believe it would be nice to see *some* moddability to the UI however.

You gave me the giggles.

Well played.

Edit: My god, i just read through the rest of the posts. How are people against this?

"Insane hypothetical situation where somehow the fantastic mod community succumbs to excessive downs syndrome and can't get mods fully customizable and minimalist for FFXIV"

Really?
