You can increase log window font size on ps4. It's the npc dialogue

Mr. Community
So, downloaded and tried this.
Well, the interface is bullshit. It's a PC interface designed for mouse and keyboard and for sitting at 3 feet from the screen.
The text is impossibly small, I cant even resize the bottom left corner chat window and it's convoluted as hell.
I honestly was interested on this, but can't get past this, it makes the game unusable.

Yep I just realized this now. I didn't remember seeing it earlier my bad but yeah the option is there are it may help for those having problems.

Heh, looks like PS4 Beta servers 4 and 6 are the only available ones regardless of where most GAF members are at the moment lol.
Arghhhh wtffff
I spend an hour making an account and a character and then I get to the end where I have to pick a server and it tells me all of them are full except 2 & 5 and then when I try 2 or 5 it says "server is not allowing any new characters to be made at this point"
So basically every server is completely full already. What do I do now? If I turn the game off do I have to do all this stuff again just for another try to get into a server?
nm, refreshed and server 7 became available.

Same. People got passed it though, because I see people doing Tam-Tara etc.

To re-size the chat window: Click and drag the top right corner of the window with the virtual mouse (L1+R3).
To re-size the text size on chat: Hit the gear icon on the chat and go to font size.
Exactly where I'm at :\
Here's a few screens of my Lancer, Fiarra:
The game has a painfully slow start, and I'm enjoying it, but I don't know if I'll be able to do much with it. I just don't have the time for an MMO. My wife may give it a try at some point, since she has more free time than I do.

All the coliseum gear is pretty terrible/hilarious on both genders.
You can hide that one in the options. Then tap R1 to switch between the regular bar and the pet bar.
Probably because most people are just trying it out and don't have an extra keyboard. Chat with the controller is not easy so most probably aren't bothering or haven't figured it out.
Yes. Set up a target filter that only selects enemies. You can set those up in the options and then switch between them with L1+face buttons.
You dont like chainmail bikinis!?!
They are light weight and effective for protecting a females vital parts. Whats not to like?
There isn't a global scaler, but you can resize every element by pressing R3 when it's active. For the elements that you can't activate, you can do the same thing with their outlines in the HUD Layout menu.
I'm confused, this only increases the text in the chat window. Is there a way to increase the size of all text in the game?

No. It's useless because quest text is still unbearably small.
I'm honestly shocked that S-E thought this was passable. The game is fucking unplayable in its current state due to the UI.

Finally got used to using the touchscreen to select people and heal them. Feels weird at first, but it takes getting used to. I only find it problematic when there's a ton of people on the screen and I only need to heal one person in trouble. It takes precise movement for that.
Anyways, I'm enjoying the PS4 version.

As far as i know right now it's only the HUD stuff you can increase. Best thing to do during beta is pot on the forums respectfully (any thread that gets out of hand they usually avoid) and let them know.
I agree that the text is way too small, but unplayable...?
Maybe because it's a beta and the UI is essentially a carbon copy of the UI that's available on the PC version? And it certainly is not unplayable, seeing as I was having no problems playing it on my bed over ten feet away or playing it on the Vita.
Some of you people are really jumping the gun with your insults and your exaggerations. :\
Well, it certainly depends on your TV and how far you're sitting away from it.
I actually don't think this is something that SE intended to address, so making noise about is a good idea. Just on the official forums / e-mails to them, rather than here. I'd certainly love a global UI scaler option.Maybe because it's a beta and the UI is essentially a carbon copy of the UI that's available on the PC version?

Thanks. Is there a fix for quest text? Whenever someone is talking the text bubbles are so small I can barely read the writing. If the final version is this way I'm skipping the game.
I recall Yoshida mentioned adjusting UI elements for Remote Play for this reason, and betas exist precisely for people to make noise about it. If people bring it to their attention (politely]), something will be done.
I really should start bookmarking these interviews. Oi.
I just think there is a difference between inconvenient and unplayable I guess.

Is there a beta level cap?

You can change your chat log to also show quest text in the main tab. That's about it.
I believe they have it set at 20 but I could be wrong.

Wow, that's a lot of beta time for level 20 cap. Guess I can try out multiple characters.

Would love this to have a companion app with the vita. Would be nice to have your hot keys on the vitas touchscreen, or even the map.

My TV is 47 inches and because my room is small I play at about 4 feet from the screen. The text is small but it hasn't effected me personally. I do agree though that they should increase it (or add the option to) for the full game.

Unless they disabled it in the beta once you're high enough with one class you can switch to another one and level those up. That's part of the game's "charm"...not being stuck to just one class.
Yeah its a nice chunk of content for a beta. I'd honestly use the first phase to explore the world and try things out and see what you like best.
