The simplest fix to the UI would involve consolidating different aspects. If I remember correctly, you can see your stats on three different screens and your inventory on two. There are also two different linkshell UIs, as well as a UI for teleporting and an option on the menu for "Return". Linkshells can be consolidated, with NPC-specific pearls marked as such, and Return can be appended to the bottom of the teleport UI and include information on where the player will return to, so they don't have to select it before seeing where it'll take them. They should also remove a lot of the "Are you sure?" junctions, because those tend to waste time as you become more experienced with the game.

He did talk about consolidating information and he used the WoW character sheet as an example. He also said that the genius with the WoW system wasn't that they totally changed anything on the surface, but that the "devil's in the detail" and that most of it was under the hood. He's aiming for the same kind of development with FFXIV and he's pretty much have praised Blizzard in regards to how they can "best serve their customers". This could also be a painful jab at the previous director and developers but he did have a point that the world is adopting the "western style" and that Japanese companies need to acclimate themselves if they want to succeed on an "international" level.
