For some reason, I can't target the Holla telepoint, and I think it's due to people standing on it, or occupying the same space, because there are 3 PCs there on top of each other, and I can't target one of the PCs. I want the gate key, but since I can't target the telepoint, I can't get it. Note that I'm not looking at the shattered telepoint or the dimensional portal, but the actual gate crystal by the chocobo.

I could target the Dem crystal just fine. No one was standing on it.

2. Tab through targets

2. D-pad left and right through targets with USB game controller.
3. Telepoint does not show up in the target panel.
4. "/target Telepoint" doesn't work either.

Press F8 on the keyboard while standing right in front of it, F8 will target the nearest NPC/monster to you. If you target a monster, move so you can't see any monsters on your screen, then try again.

It's a very old bug with target selection. Anytime two or more entities(players/npcs/mobs) share the same position, you cannot cycle your target through all of them.

Greetings, Seyrena!
Thank you for posting your concerns about targeting. Before submitting your report, I wanted to know if everything seemed to work out well after using the F8 key, as Rie was kind enough to bring up. It is a very helpful way to get past anyone that may be blocking any important NPC's or points of interests. Please respond when you are able to, and I will make sure to include your response in the report. Thanks again to everyone for their participation!
