your whole settings menu all this is is you have full customization over all the different name plates in the game your name plate other players name plates party members name plates objects enemies all that stuff that's all this is and you can customize how it's shown when it's shown and even the color if you click on this little color circle right here you could change the name of the name plate like I have a red name plate right here which I don't want but you can do that you can do that with every name plate now the display name presets up here you see this in every single tab almost every tab except for the last one this just makes it easier for you to just choose like what you want to show on your screen very quickly like you can choose to show all just show everything or if you want to quickly just show nothing you can just open this menu go to hide and you see no name plates whatsoever getting into your own name plate again you can change the color of it to whatever you want and you have these different settings here as well display name set settings you see this all over the place all this is is you choose when your name plate is shown you can choose to show it always only during battle out of battle when targeted or never which never shows your name plate Now display type is how your name is formatted on your name plate so you can just use your full name like this you can use surname abbreviated forame abbreviated you can just have your initials if you want title display settings is just a toggle to show whether you want to show your title here or hide it n HP bar is just when your HP bar is shown you can have it when HP is below 100% and only show it when it's below 100 or you can always show your HP bar if you want to do that or just never if you if just don't like it now as for your companion that's just your chocob partner which you can just summon and have fight with you whenever you want now the settings for your chocoo partner are pretty similar to your own you can choose when you want the name plate for your partner to be displayed you can also choose when you want the h P bar to be displayed also like with everything else you can change the color of your choc partner's display name to whichever you would like it to be so yellow purple whatever just like your name plate just like every other name plate your pets are

all that for your party members and you can choose when those are displayed alliance members is just for Alliance based activity like raids and these are for people who are in other parties from your own when you're doing an alliance raid or something like that and you can change how their names are displayed if you choose to always display them you're going to have a lot of name plates during an alliance raid but you can choose when to display them how to display them display type title display settings when their HP bar shown you see their pet display names all that good stuff next is other

your friends list and you can change how their names are displayed you can change how their companions are displayed and their pets as well we also have the NPCs tab up here NPC just means non-player character this section is where you change all the display names of your NPCs starting with untargeted enemies these are enemies out in the world that have not been engaged by anyone they're just kind of roaming around and you can change how their names are displayed in their HB bar engaged enemies are mobs that you've attacked and you have started combat with for these enemies you can change when their name is displayed as well as when their HP bar is displayed flamed enemies are mobs that another player or party has engaged before you did so they get full experience for the kill for these enemies you can change when their names are displayed and when their HP bars are displayed unclaimed enemies may be hard to differentiate between unengaged enemies but what unclaimed enemies are or enemies that have been aggroed and have begun attacking another player or a party but they haven't been engaged by the player yet so they're currently unclaimed NBCS are non-player characters or just other characters you can interact with such as shop vendors and things like that and you can change their display name settings and HP bar settings just like everything else objects are just things you can interact with in the world that's not an NPC like mining nodes and things like that for objects you can change their display name settings and their HP bar settings next are we have the minions which are the little useless pets that follow you around you can change the way their names are displayed you can have it show always when targeted or never and this affects every minion in
