hello in the last video we tackled the item settings in Final Fantasy 14 in this one we're going to take a look at the UI settings and all the helpful stuff that brings if you find this video useful at any point make sure you give it a like and hit the Subscribe button for more Final Fantasy 14 guides in the future this video is timestamped so feel free to skip to whatever part you need help with and with that let's get started Mouse mode or Gamepad mode just changes the UI to make it easier for whichever control scheme you're using mouse or Gamepad if you're using Mouse mode you can disable the main menu and enable it from here and enable draggable shortcuts draggable shortcuts are just being able to drag the options from your main menu into your hot bar in the map settings you can choose close immediately or close when active or your shortcut display type the map is quote unquote active when you can see these shortcuts up here on the top left of your map when it's not active those go away if you have Clos when active as your display type your map will not close unless it is active so if it's inactive like this and you press the map display key it'll just activate the map and then you can press it again to get rid of it when you have close immediately it'll just close no matter what state it's in restore map when not moving will just make the map active again whenever you stop moving your character that font size will just change the size of the text on the map so you can make it large or standard map transparency is just how transparent your map will be when it's not active reverse stick up down control and reverse stick Left Right control is for gam pad users all this does is inverse the controls when you're scrolling through the map and the help section display item help will just let you view information about an item when you Mouse over it enable toggling between normal quality and high quality text will just let you compare the differences between the normal quality and highquality version of an item if a highquality version exists and the toggle key is just the key you press to compare the two enable help text toggling will just let you toggle off or on the help text when you press a certain key which you can change the toggle key for toggling display action help will let you see the help text for actions when you Mouse over them for the position you can choose that to be on a cursor or at a fixed position on your screen display pop-up help will give you information about certain things on the map when you Mouse over them you can also change the size of this popup text display active help Windows Active help are those little green question marks that pop up on your screen when you first do something you can disable that here if you want to disable help text when using cross type main commands the only thing I've noticed about this one is this will enable help text on certain actions when you're in the main menu with a controller with recommendations you can enable or disable when the recommendations will appear on your screen you can choose to show it upon login or you can choose to show it upon an area change the same thing applies to the play guide you can choose to have it pop up during login or upon area change with achievements you can choose to have achievements that you're close to completing pop up on your screen when you first log in with instant portraits you can choose to see your party memb portraits when you first start a duty you can also have the game display a portrait notification that you can click on and view your party members portraits that way as well display portraits in the player accomodation window this just lets you see party members portraits when you're giving them a accomodation or you can just turn this off and view it the old school way in our HUD section we have character information which is just a bunch of UI elements you can add to your screen to help you out for this I'm just going to name them off and show you what they are flying text is your damage or healing done popup text is basically flying text that is not yours parameter bars experience bar inventory grid
