Scaling the chat window, also known as the log window, in Final Fantasy XIV is a straightforward process that allows you to customize your interface for better readability or screen space management.
Step-by-Step Scaling
To adjust the size of your chat window, follow these simple steps:
- Locate the Icon: Move your cursor over the small triangle icon positioned in the upper right corner of the log window.
- Drag to Resize:
- For PC players: Click and drag this triangle icon to make the window larger or smaller.
- For PlayStation 5™/PlayStation 4™ players: Hold down the L2 button while dragging the triangle icon.
- For Xbox Series X|S players: Hold down the LT button while dragging the triangle icon.
Why Adjust Your Chat Window Size?
Adjusting the size of your chat window offers several benefits that can significantly improve your gameplay experience:
- Enhanced Readability: By making the log window larger, messages become easier to read, which is especially helpful during fast-paced content or when following complex conversations. This ensures you don't miss important party chat, system messages, or combat logs.
- Optimized Screen Space: Conversely, making the window smaller frees up valuable screen real estate. This can be beneficial for players who prefer a less cluttered UI, allowing them to have a clearer view of the action and their surroundings without the chat window obscuring crucial elements.
