BEST UI & HUD Settings & Tips To Improve Your FFXIV Experience In 2024

This video showcases my UI and HUD settings and takes you through the process of setting up yours how I set mine up, which you are welcome to make adjustments to yourself! I did do one of these at the start of Endwalker so why not keep the tradition and do another one for the start of Dawntrail!

Dawntrail added a feature to automatically hide the MSQ guide when you've caught up in quests. (Character Config., UI Settings, HUD)

[crymsyndicate]

There is literally an option in character settings to hide scenario guide on MSQ completion, then when new MSQ patch quests come out, it will auto enable itself. No need to actually adjust that in HUD settings

One really important thing that I think goes by the wayside in setting up ui that no one ever talks about is camera tilt. Having the camera tilt set to 0 vs 100 or even just 50 can drastically change how your ui can look with where your character is centered. If you've never messed with it before, you can try different settings for it as simply as typing "/tiltcamera x" where x is a number between 0 and 100.

I didn't know you could disable UI elements or drag with grid alignment, that's neat. While I do have to adjust quite a few things due to being a controller player, this vid still helped me though, thank you!

wow i just finished stalking ur profile on ff after watching your last tips video and now there's another one!

It highly depends on the specific gauge whether or not I want it simple mode. Convoluted stuff like MNK's Nadi/animal stance gauge, simple. SCH's faerie gauge, full (tells me if I lose my faerie and need to re-summon, or if unavailable due to Dissipation). Then there are weird cases like PCT where the paint gauge is original but the canvas gauge is simple mode.

o/ PRO TIP: when moving things on your HUD Settings and you want to line them up just right, you can micro-adjust each thing by pressing the numbers on your NumPad (4, 8, 6, 2) for the perfect fit! >:D

[Ubeenblind]

I would recommend putting your Lvl bar on the left under the chat, moving chat up accordingly and moving everything in the middle down accordingly

@5:47 alternatively, you could disable to Duty Action window and use Duty Action I and Duty Action II from the Actions tab

Its my first time playing 14 on PC and its almost overwhelming all the HUD settings you can control. Still setting up my hotbars and icons to my liking

[gapho]

Does anyone know if the chat box can be disabled in different hud layouts?

[bboy]

Awesome guide, question though... why not add Sprint to the Mount and LB bar?

[khmatrix]

A shame that you couldn't give ideas on what you can do with extra hotbars! def could be a next video idea that you can research into! I was able to do a 3x4 "cellphone template" that has my icons for instant game menus and macros for switching my jobs and a macro that turns on/off an extended "cellphone template" for more buttons! more people should know what you can do with the extra hotbars!

[TajinQ]

Have you looked into HUD macros? It's not that complicated and it allows so much more than the basic features

I really love how neatly stacked your UI is and i took inspiration from it in the past as well. Sadly cross hotbars naturally use more space because of the design. And i love the stupid needlessly edgy skull on DRK so i never reverted to simple mode xD

But i was hating on the way i have buffs and debuffs again recently. Will prolly reorder the statuses like shown in this video.

[alexmorath]

Please do a video for us using the cross hotbar on consoles/TV. Most of this video is great, but a lot also goes right out the window due to the enormity, and shape, of the cross hotbar.

[JohnDCrafton]

You see cast bars on the enemy list, so you don't need Focus Target for that
