It makes sense that they'd want to function test the interface before working on graphical elements. Why would they spend time designing graphics for an interface that they may totally change again? I'm sure somewhere in those JP posts it says the graphical style is going to be changed, I just can't be assed to translate all that right now.

There's no reference of "leg day" on the original JP, lol. I'm guessing it was a dumb work-out related joke that went bad.

Was looking at some pics of UI, specifically the manual item sort option, looks like you will be able to select more than 1 item at a time. Will be very awesome if you can move more than 1 item at a time from/to inventory.

Well... if thats the final version and working as intended... .... that looks like Windows 3.1 ~.~ ... I will stay with my old UI...

**Damane** · 2013-08-16 14:59

I just hope this UI changes wont fuck everything up like windower and the likes ¬.¬

**Byrthnoth** · 2013-08-16 15:01

They actually implemented the multi-log part of the change in the past server update (and gave no way to enable it, so there was still one log). Iryoku slapped together a version of hook to compensate for it in case we needed to use it on the live server after the August update, but then we didn't need to.

Is it bad that I'm excited about the third macro line, even if the UI looks like ass?

**Gwynplaine** · 2013-08-16 15:51

Is the new UI for PC only as many recent things have been? I remember them saying that the old UI thing they showed was just a mock-up, and then when they actually went to do it it turns out it's fucking hard to do or something. Looks primitive but the UI is in real need of an upgrade, so makes me hopeful they can improve it over the months.

Here's the information in JP, plenty of pics on there:

Wow that goes on for 3 pages of info. Can't blame them that's a lot to translate.

**Byrthnoth** · 2013-08-16 15:51

As far as I know, the third macro line is accessible by mouse only.

Really? I thought it was going to be accessible with the number keys. Ala an always up bar. You could hit 1-0 for the always up, and ctrl+1-0 or alt+1-0 for the other pallets.

I almost feel as if their time would be better spent moving the engine to DX9 and adjusting it so that it doesn't murder your CPU by having it animate the characters instead of your GPU.Mouse driven macros will be useless without spellcast-like macros so you only need to hit one macro per 'skill'. How responsive is the interface anyways? Game is still locked at 30fps, so is there some delay in the mouse?

Good news on EXing shit. Means I've been wasting time trying to get Skirmish weapon for offhanding on my BLU for nothing now.

Tested and you can just hit 1-0 to use the top macros, but it also shows up as a number in your chat bar, so that's probably a glitch. Not sure which one at this point is the glitch lol.

See, that's all I want.

I'm one of those stuborn bastards who still uses the official windower, so having a third macro line increases the gearswaps I can do easily.

**nekura** · 2013-08-16 22:58

That UI sort of reminds me of the original EverQuest UI, which is fitting considering how much FFXI lifted from EQ1 in the first place.

**Malithar** · 2013-08-16 23:37

Suppose there's no real way to know until its implemented, but once it's in, couldn't we edit it somehow to spruce it up, remove unneeded info, change colors, add in our own text fields, etc? Not talking about a built in functionality to do so, but the mod community replacing it with something more usable.

**Kincard** · 2013-08-17 07:48

The leg day joke was bad enough to make me lol.

And I guess rare tag removal is nice, but if they don't add some kind of new storage it won't matter to me.

**Khajit** · 2013-08-17 12:01

Leg day? Did they mistranslate Lag day?
