Great video! You should consider getting into UI/UX design. This layout is mint.
This helped me so much. Playing FFXIV with a controller has completely changed the game for me, but the amount of settings involved makes re-learning really difficult. Thank you for making specific recommendations so we could have a baseline that demonstrates what YOU found valuable. Really helpful, thank you!
I kept some of the "messy" stuff because I like to know where I'm going/current weather conditions on the minimap, as well as seeing whether or not my inventory is near full and how much gil I have since I'm kind of a big spender in game sometimes. I also prefer the health/mana underneath the crossbar because I'm used to glancing down. But I do like the transparent crossbar, it's less blatantly in your face
Another thing I did was move the main menu thing over and lowered the gil/inventory stuff down to make more space since on gamepad you never see it anyway, and then made alliance lists as small as possible and placed them over the inventory icon. Most of my job gauges are near the minimap with the exception of Dark Knight, where I placed the skull down near the crossbar and the blood gauge towards the top of the screen since I could not find an optimal way to position them. One of my other classes also has the job gauge in simplified mode, though I don't recall which. It's not as clean as your UI setup, but it works for me
I just made it to where my cross bar doesn't show unless I press lt or rt. Reason being is that when you're in combat you're gonna be holding down the triggers any way
For some reason it won't allow me to place my icons on my crossbars, and I made sure my hot bar was unlocked. It's really quite frustrating. Please help lol
Thank you kindly
Just bought a ps5 and jumped back into ffxiv since 2013.. no idea what I'm doing or how to use this controller and most of my jobs are 50 😅 is there a tutorial of some sorts for controller?
