Easier way of parsing through all characters in the menu

21 votes

There are a lot of recruitable characters (which is good), but so far we can only check them one by one in the character menu. This is a bit cumbersome as I often only need to look one specific character only, and would like to access it directly rather than going through all the others before finding the right one (especially since I do not understand how they are sorted, and relying only on the names proved difficult at the beginning of the game).

Some kind of UI improvement allowing to quickly access one character (by clicking on/selecting its head on a list for example) would help navigating through this a lot IMO. Maybe a vertical slider on the left with a little portrait for each available character?

There's actually a character list that can be opened for quick switching. If you're on the character, equipment, class, skills, or grimoires tab, it's in the lower right-hand corner (and bound to the C button by default).

the way its set up is that this is the only menu i can interact with and my options are scrolling up and down despite having realistically a ton of screen real estate
what about multiple columns of units?
the more unit you recruit, the more scrolling vertically you will need
but if you blow it up and make use of horizontal space you can navigate really easily to the character you need

As Brandon mentioned in his comment above, we do have a character list feature that serves the same purpose.

We discussed if we can make improvements to the existing list for it to be more helpful, and are planning to change the sorting order: from the order of recruitment to the order of character level (high-to-low).

The new sorting order has been implemented in the December 2022 patch: https://oceandrive.studio/2022/12/20/lost-eidolons-patch-notes-12-20-2022/

"Add more columns for the character list menu" (suggested by Guinn Kim on 2022-10-21), including upvotes (3) and comments (0), was merged into this suggestion.
