Shame the MP Trilogy cut the menus out, used to just fuck around with this on the original.

>that pan out you have to skip every time for Crystarium
>having no hotkey for Map like FFXII (a tacit admission that there's no reason you'd want to look at a hallway map
>Datalog

Shit menu, mediocre at best.

I can understand perfectly if some people hate it with burning hatey of hate, but damn if I can't appreciate the attempt to overanimate menu of all things.

Doesn't he let his wife design these shits?

>>383918342

Fuck no. Cutting off from gameplay, changing the music when you open it, assigning the same button you use to open the menu to fucking unskipable help bullshit instead of allowing you to close the menu entirely from any submenu. Not to mention it's a little unresponsive.

I like FFXV but it is a trash, trash menu.

>>383921794

Make everything super fast, ditch any animations that make transitions take longer than a second, allow people to leave menus from any submenu and redo any menu that requires loading.

Those are general hints that will serve you when developing any sort of UI. Design is nice and all, but it's meaningless if it's a chore to use. Pay attention to P5, their interface is super stylish and full of frills, but it. is. quick.

>>383922161
I'll add: full keyboard control, full mouse control.

>>383921794
The most important aspect of game menus is making cool sounds on selecting

99% of mobile games have 1/10 menus, they're pretty much designed around ADHD

>>383914684
Not a fan of that font, I can't really say which are good despite playing a lot of JRPGs, all I know is that Xenogears menu was poop, also games that don't have "new" category so you get something that has no icon, and you're forced to search through a huge list just to find it and see that it was some stupid item that heals 5HP or some shit, also games that don't have alphabetical sorting.

>>383925528
To be fair, mass effect menus were always shit

It's great, but it has some minor problems.

Are there any channels that discuss vidya menus? The only one I know of is Revui, and he barely posts.

For Grand Strat games at least.

Immersive without being too cluttered, the right sounds, not too much information overload but still remains useful, not unresponsive as fuck like the one in CK2.

Shame the game is pretty mediocre.

I don't know, in the menu, you can move up, down, left, and right. That's a whole two more directions then you get in the actual game

Halo CE-Reach (especially Reach)
DXHR/DXMD

>>383932094
And three more directions than the game took the series.
