UI Scale much needed

[Shikaree]

I have pretty much the exact opposite problem as the OP... I play on a semi-standard 1280x1024 resolution, but the UI/font seems too darn big and invasive

This too. Seems like not as many people play on a smaller resolution, but it hurts us just as much in the other direction.

Play on a 50" 1080p set and its fine IMO, guess I just have good eye sight

It's not guna effect the PS3 as someone else suggested as the PS3 version will be running in 720p.

I do still think that the option to add scalable UI and text should be in the game for those who need it.

As far as PS3 worries go, I wouldn't worry about it. Text size was scaled up on the 360's XI due to beta feedback, so I'd imagine if it became an issue in the PS3 for XIV beta they would fix it.
As for PC, yeah. There needs to be an option for the text to be scaled up for 1080p. I say option rather than an automatic scale because those with 1080p monitors probably won't have as much of an issue with reading since it's right there, so why force them to have larger text?
