    SE should take a page out of... SE's... Playbook...

    Ok. So why didn't SE do this too?


    http://www.pcgamer.com/2011/05/04/eidos-talk-deus-ex-human-revolution-pc-exclusive-features/?ns_campaign=article-feed&ns_mchannel=ref&ns_source=steam&ns_linkname=0&ns_fee=0

    For the Deus Ex Human Revolution game the core game was built for the Consoles. This normally comes with a odd problem of translating a system designed to run specifically on a controller and making it friendly for someone using a Mouse and Keyboard (The same thing FFXIV is having a problem with now.)

    Square Enix Edios. (Square Enix Europe, Edios Montreal, how ever you want to call them now) hired a third party developer to design and implement the UI for PC players.


    So why doesn't SE do this for XIV as well?

    I have to thank Square-Enix for the amazing job they have done recreating Final Fantasy XIV from Scratch. Especially the inclusion of Missing Genders which we petitioned for in good faith. This was proof to us players that the Developers are truly Sympathetic to our requests and that being honest and vocal can pay off with the amazing characters we have who are Female Roegadyn, Male Miqote, and Female Highlanders. Thank You SE, Thank You Community Team, Thank You Yoshi-P.

    Not all developers have the skills to do both. Edios Montreal has been mostly doing things for Console lately. But with how advanced and all the UI options necessary for the HR game they hired a team to design the PC UI for them. Its a smart move, If you dont have the skills in house hire a team who does.
