We’ve already seen what Microsoft’s HoloLenscan do to Portal. Now, let’s picture what it can do to Final Fantasy XIV
Japanese Twitter user Tanufuku created this mock-up to see how it could handle the MMORPG’s interface.
HoloLens専用ゲームも楽しいけど、既存のゲームをHoloLens対応にしても面白いんじゃないかなーと思ってFF14で雰囲気だけ試してみた。UI系を画面の外に置くことで、よりゲームに没頭しやすくなるんじゃないかな?狭い画面でも広く使えそう。#HoloLens #FF14 pic.twitter.com/pjTrg0T2Z4

Tanufuku thinks this actually might make the game even more immersive as well as make it possible to play the game on a smaller monitor, thanks to the spread out UI.
Square Enix hasn’t yet implement this feature, so for the time being, Tanufuku will have to be satisfied with fielding Twitter requests.
Sorry, this movie is just a mock-up!
