I enabled it in FFXI_config. It's the worst GUI I've ever used bar-none. They legitimately seem to want it to be mouse-based.
It's really.
really.
really.
really.
really bad.
Not just "I am not used to it, so I don't like it." Like:
* "I can't move the radar and it overlaps my macro pallets."
* "I can't access the menu options because I accidentally moved one and now two menus overlap and neither can be moved independently"
* "I'm stuck in the Feretory because I tried to 'Stalk prey as a monipulator' and the next menu never came up."
Like, the watermark in the background here is what I need to get to so I can change other menus. It's hidden behind what I assume is "Log 2." I'd like to go test "Log 2," but I can't leave this zone.
The scroll bars on the side of the chat log don't work either. The vast majority the changes they've implemented are solely for the small fraction of the PC userbase that rely on mice, and many of them don't even work. Also, pointy menus. 2/10 would not use. Oh, and in case you were hopeful that the new GUI offered some new information... as far as I can see, it doesn't. It doesn't tell you distance, the HPP of your target, or any new stat information.
