Does anyone else think this UI is way too futuristic for this game? It looks good on Midgar section but it will clash with the atmosphere when you get to more fantasy oriented locations like Temple of the Ancients

it's a placeholder
They don't care
>Complaining about UI
I doubt the game is going to look anything like this when ep 1 releases

UI is a pretty big deal. Always sucks when a dev uses a font for ants in an HD game, for example.
>>321641960
It looks like literally every AAA game UI in the past 3 years.
I'm gonna go ahead and say it'll be different like KH's UI which changes according to the world you're in.
>>321642262
How would you like a medieval style UI in a sci-fi game? That will look like crap.
>>321641960
Would you prefer rainbow boxes instead?
>>321642726
Just something that doesn't scream sci-fi is enough. That digital font will look out of place when you're fighting goblins in a mountain.

I like how Crisis Core did a sleeker version of VII's original UI.
>>321641960
Yes, it's obvious that the UI was developed by a single person/small team and was not kept in line with the rest of the art direction.
Lack of communication plagues videogame development and this is a minor example. Ultimately if the gameplay is as abstract as the original FFVII it won't matter that much, at least.
I think the UI should probably be the least of your concerns for this inevitable hunk of shit.
>>321641960
perhaps it's gonna change depending on its location. you know, like fucking Kingdom Hearts
>>321641960
>he thinks final fantasy the telltale adventures episode 1 will go beyond the end of the midgar section
>>321643670
I didn't say that. I just assumed UI will be same in ever episode.
>>321641960
It didn't feel out of place in Crisis Core.
I mean by the same token you could complain that Cloud's design clashes with something like City of the Ancients.
That said, Nomura's directing, and it's basically Command Menu, so it might change based on location like in Kingdom Hearts II.
That'd be neat.

>Complaining about criticism
If something looks out of place, it looks out of place. I don't see OP covering the walls of his house in shit over it. He's just pointing it out autismo.

It really sucks how not that many people give a shit about UI design. A good marriage between aesthetics and functional design is crucial for video games, especially RPGs where you have to manage character growth often.
Look at how many people flip their shit over the iOS and PC ports of FFVI.

The game wont even reach Temple of the Ancients. The 1st part/game only consist of Midgar.

>implying each episode will have different ui
there are alot of chances that they change this, now they are changing XV UI a little bit too
