Re: Official FINAL FANTASY XI Forums Launch! (03/08/2011)
Are people still complaining about the UI in FFXI? It was so easy to navigate using the NumPad, I don't see how anybody could possibly have a problem with it. It was rigid and didn't allow for modification, but that's just how it was. The controls were perfect and I couldn't have asked for any better. So it didn't automatically use WASD, who cares? Use a brain cell and adapt.
FFXIV's UI, on the other hand, feels like a step backwards. There are simply too many menus, and the macro menu is hidden away in the options for some reason. It's a pain in the ass to set up equipment swap macros, which are essential now that we can change jobs on the fly, because I have to exit out to check item names and then bring it back up all over again to write it out. It would be nice if they were somehow connected.
