If you have a controller you can also move elements pixel by pixel! Sometimes the elements lock into these weird smaller grids that don't want to line up or maybe the shift grid doesn't fit your configuration. Plug in your controller, click the element and use the d-pad to fine tune.

I don't like to have everything TOO centralized because I don't like my UI blocking my view of the world. But I definitely agree with using the simplified job gauges.

Thanks for this guide! The UI is something I've struggled with my entire playtime and still continue to do so. This is a big help! One tip I can give though - I noticed you had to go back and make little UI adjustments with the mouse. You can use your keyboard's numpad to move UI elements by one pixel! 8 moves it up, 2 is down, 4 is left, and 6 is right. You can do this to make your UI pixel perfect.

(not sure if it really fits here or into your other video about the combat QoL) split the chat windows into chat and status messages. it helps to keep track of things you may otherwise miss. also what i found out while experimenting: you can change your buff bars into 4 different grids and adjust the alignment to left/ right. for example i changed my bars to 20x1 and stacked "Enhancements" and "Others", changed "Others" to align right. it slims down the UI space even more like this

Yeah I really don't like this video for a HUD guide, I appreciate this persons other guides, but not this one. Their hud is just too messy for me. Not to mention they said to keep stuff on the screen that isn't important at all, like the Pet Hotbar. It does absolutely nothing 95% of the time, and nothing in combat, and they have it right beside the main ability hotbars. I don't get it. I rather watch a guide for top tier raiding for the most meta hud placements over this lol, because at least then it'll be optimal.

I like clarity in the middle of my screen to see bosses mechanics and the arena to see whats going on more. I think it would've been great if you put emphasis on the fact that this works best for you and not everyone. People should use this to learn how to setup their own UI instead of blindly copying what you are using because for me this would be a straight downgrade from the default ui.

There's something about the enemy list placement that's not too obvious, a lot of cast bars that display there are *much* longer than what the selection box is showing you and could overlap with another UI element (such as the target status effects in this video), and it doesn't show you if the enemy list might cut off some enemies at the bottom if there's a lot of enemies on screen. similar thing is for the party list if you have it display 10 status effects, the limit break bar is ironically the exact length of how many status effects would display with all 10 (if both party list and limit break are the same size), so you could use that to make sure the party list's status effects aren't overlapping with anything

A massive problem with this game is you can't have different keybinds for different jobs. So you set up all your keybinds for say an AST and then switch to SUM and your UI now looks shit because there aren't enough buttons to fill the keybinds... Every time I switch between my classes my UI looks like a jumbled mess on at least 2 or 3 of them. Tbf the whole design philosophy for FFXIV is a bit of a mess. They dont seem to understand that people chose keys based on logic checks. For instance the AOE key for me is commonly F. DPS cooldowns are MB4 with modifiers. Defensive CDs are MB5 with modifiers. But the issue is, some classes just have so much button bloat that they don't fit into that paradigm. So you have keys that just 'dont fit' where they should. WoW - as an example - has a few defensive cooldowns and a few damage cooldowns for each class. The rest of the button presses are dedicated to skills. FFXIV has an obsession with cooldowns that could easily be merged
