The vertical bars are for clicking
The vertical bars are for clicking
^ Never even noticed it was off. I'm only OCD about sleep-positioning, I guess.
Using a controller but decided to add some vertical bars for miscellaneous stuff like Chocobo stances and gear sets to limit the number of cross hotbars I have to cycle through.
dev comment on forums
"In Beta phase 4, we'll be implementing a display grid that should help you align everything juuuuust the way you want it!"
Glad to see some HUD idea here.
Likes the split if Chat and Battles at left and right bottom corners.
Likes the vertical hotbar for Gear set, on the right edge.
Likes the vertical hotbar for others misc chocobo/ items/ return on the left edge.
Last is the Enemy and self HP bar on top of Cross bar at the middle bottom.
These will leave a clear window screen in the middle.
Thanks for showing your ideas

This was posted on reddit if anyone wanted to play around with it.
Fuckin amazing. I'm going to be messing around with this for a while today.
Edit: Just finished messing around with this for a little while and here is what I came up with. I'll probably do some more tweaking, but I think this will be close to my final version.
I don't think that cast bar is really placed very well, as soon as you start getting more buffs or debuffs they will overlap.
Your cast bar is wat.
Also, no party or 1080p = zz.
Yeah I kind of just threw that there temporarily until I find somewhere that I want to place it. I won't have too great of an idea as to how half of this will look in game until I can get back on the beta.
It was done with the editor so party info isn't there, but would show below main tank in the upper left. Also, I'll be playing with 1080p it just cropped the image weird.
Yeah, I meant it about the editor.
One thing I wish they would give us the option to remove is the numbers on the hotbars. Hate them so much.
Seems to be missing the quest log?
It's missing the Quest Log, aggro Target List, and a full Party List. Maybe something else too~
Planning to use it to make my macros

Assuming they allow you to remove UI elements (removed cast bar for when not in use and inventory because its redundant with the menu) this'll likely be how I lay mine out, with re-size/tweaks/bar additions based on whats needed. Would like to be able to make the hotbars/cross hotbar smaller so I can add one more without killing the "viewing" area, I'll call it. Heh. <_<;
OCD is killing me. I need something opposite the menu bar under the general chat area to make it look even. The inventory didn't fit right, cast bar does but it feels awkward to have it down there? Advice? And yes, I play on PC, I just use both a controller/keyboard setup.
