Hello! I don't know if these suggestions fall under the "improved interface" bit of the megazone things to come thread, but I'm posting just in case!
Over the last several month I have developed tremors that have impacted my coordination, so I'm writing from this perspective. I think some improvements that can be made are:
1. The ability to rebind battle keys
- I'm 100% positive this has been suggested before, but it really would make things much easier!
2. The ability to bind keys to targeting specific pets/enemies and items
- It takes me a bit to click on things, even larger images like enemies, and never mind smaller buttons like items. Clicking is also very awkward with the current battle key layout; I've had no issues with numeric and qwerty asdf keys, they feel natural to use imho, but for example the M key is too far away from my left hand to hit so I either need to lift my hand up or move my right hand from my mouse to the keyboard and back. Even without coordination issues, it breaks the flow of battle. It's worse for the item use interface. Even if the interface is improved, I think being able to bind items to keys would be really helpful!
3. More sensible tab order
- It takes 30 hits of the tab key to get to the manage pet button on a pet page. While going through the toolbar, announcements, it's awkward tabbing from: UN > Calendar > Logout > Avatar link > an invisible link to the active pet page?? > Active Pet link > the 5 sylesti navigating buttons > Current Owner > Original Owner before getting to the genetic philter button.
- On the landing page, tab will start you at Home but won't cycle through the rest of the toolbar at all. Insofar as I know you also cannot select subcategories under the current toolbar; hitting enter on one will send you to the first link of the button, rather than opening the drop down menu. Have to do some really awkward navigating to get to my own stables, let alone places like the mission log. (Originally listed world map for some reason, whoops)
- Tab targeting won't target error popups ever?
- Does not work in the battle menu ever. Not an issue (for me) if everything could be keybound, though.
(^ For the current layout anyways. With the MZ update, maybe we could have this updated as well? I don't really want to suggest more intuitive tab order without knowing exactly what the interface improvements look like)
4. Alt text
- Minor note unrelated to coordination but more alt text would be very helpful for people with limited vision!
And, well, some other things but they're mostly irrelevant until we know what the new interface improvements look like! I have issues clicking buttons and links of course--it's why I tab in the first place--but again I cannot suggest specific improvements yet. A lot of this is also for pages that will be updated; I just list them as an example of possible improvements for future updates. I also am not otherwise disabled in a way that impacts how I browse the site too much. But hey, maybe I'll update this thread after MZ is released for real suggestions! :p
