The devs said they are looking into how to enhance their user interface and this is my answer. These changes would completely revolutionize FFXIV for me. If any of these were implemented I'd surely use the heck out of them and be overjoyed.

Hey guys it’s yo boi evyx.

I have been corrupted and told I should say that, should it be Cole instead? I dunno so lemme know in the comments. I’m going to be discussing the UI changes that would shake up my game experience significantly. Like these are things if implemented I would be freaking out absolutely jumping for joy!

Past few videos have been about how people have been getting banned for third party tools.. But in the article about the bans and the clamp down they talked about how square enix was going to try and make some of the user interface changes a part of final fantasy 14.

So that’s what I’m here to do because unironically this is something I am highly invested in. We’re going to go from some pretty basic things to more advanced things building on those basic things and I’m going to timestamp out this video.

First up is party frames, and this is a game changer.

This impacts all tanks and all healers to a revolting degree, but also summoners, redmages, dragoons, bards, dancers-- oh and black mages absolutely black mages too with their teleport. Basically this next point impacts everyone!

I want mouseover party frames where I can right click or left click or some key combination to cast something on that particular target.

Take tanks for instance, dark knights can make a rather intimidating user interface with macros and bars beside the party frames. This however is not only extremely hard to set up, uses a lot of macro slots, is fragile to breaks and changes but also suffers all of the problems of macros to begin with such as you cannot queue macros.

It would be infinitely easier to click on the party frame like I can on my resto druid.

Same idea with swapping Kardia targets, or an emergency lustrate or applying Krasis or throwing down excogitation. Basically this would allow you to focus your attention on the main target, the raid boss and not need to constantly swap back and forth. This was such a huge quality of life increase as a healer when I tried world of warcraft it was genuinely jarring.

If this was implemented properly and configurable you’d boost my fun as a healer significantly!

Next point is related but stands on it’s own, I want to be able to configure party frames to show specifically what information I want at specific locations. Take for instance the Kardia target, I need to know who it is on and who to swap to. I’d like to be able to specify a specific location for this in the party frame for quick reference. In my druid user interface there are clear locations for a bouquet of personal defenses, other stuff, but more relevant here is specific locations for each of my heal over time effects and I can configure their size even.

I need to be able to quickly glance, know what’s up and who has or hasn’t been hit by a cooldown of mine like kerachole that is heal over time effect and 10% damage mit-- if they don’t have that I want to know so I can try and save them. Or panhaima or basically any party heal or buff with range really.

Lastly that obviously gets into buff timers where I can in my druid’s user interface clearly see the remaining duration before falloff. That kind of info is extremely nice for me. I also could use a cooldown tracker where cooldowns I specify to track for each job are tracked but that’s less of a concern of mine honestly-- if you don’t know how to align buffs into a 2 minute window
