Redesigning FF14's Party Frame
/The party frame, in most MMOs, displays whenever the player is in a group with other players. The player has to rely on this UI in order to obtain information on, and interact with their group members.
The problem is that FF14’s version of this UI is a bit of a mess, and it’s only gotten worse as the game has evolved (without the party frame also evolving). I found this particularly frustrating when playing the game as a healer, and that furstration is what lead to this redesign exercise.
