Bumpty-bump. Rawr~!
The annoying thing about using third party drivers like XBCD is, a lot of modern games have direct/automatic support for the default xbox 360 pad drivers. Meaning, you plug it in, and it's automatically configured and works right away. When you're using the third party drivers as a round about way of playing FFXI, you miss out on this, and you end up having to make further workarounds to play your other games properly, or frequently swap drivers.
So yeah, it would be nice if the triggers worked properly in FFXI in the first place, without having to deal with any of that nonsense.
Windows 8 has an automatic signed driver feature that won't let you install 3rd party drivers for the 360 gamepad unless you disable UAC. And if I disable UAC I can't use Windows 8 metro interface, and that's not a loss I'm willing to take. I hope SE adds trigger support for the 360 gamepad at least.

I'm not saying FFXI should autoconfigure the buttons. I'm just agreeing FFXI should support the triggers while using the official drivers, since using third party drivers such as the XBCD ones create additional problems in other games, that would normally work fine with the MS drivers.
Currently I am using Windows 8 x64 with Masahiko Morii's drivers. I was trying to read through your posts in this thread but it appears you haven't been able to get it working properly. Please update me if I am mistaken.
I do not use the Metro Interface (but I can access it through the start menu, using Classic Start, and I have access to Metro. I do not recall the exact steps I did but let me outline it if I were to perform this setup again:
- Install Classic Start
- Disable UAC
- Install Masahiko Morii Drivers
- Then google: Disable Driver Signature Enforcement in Windows 8 (should be 1st link with instructions) [This may be the only step you need actually, though I am not 100% sure.]
I wrote a .bat script instead to bring me to the option instead of going through all those steps to boot into Advanced Startup. Just write it in notepad and save it as .bat and double click on the file: shutdown -o -r -t 0
Not sure if this is what you're looking for. I would not play this game unless I have Masahiko's drivers...searched all over to find his drivers again after I came back from a 4 year break. This game is far more responsive with a controller, it's like night and day. Accessing menus, macros, selecting targets is far more responsive on a gamepad than a keyboard.
