    Don't quite get how the new features would be awkward/difficult for gamepad users.....gamepad, KB, and Mouse are not restricted on the PC--they are always available. Gamepad users should still be able to drag the logs/windows, etc. wherever they want with their mouse and continue to use their gamepads to move their character, call action menus and the original macro palettes as always. Unless for some reason, the new UI will not accpt gamepad bindings that are set under FFXI Config? If the gamepad buttons will still be accepted, then the only feature that should be "unavailable" is the mini macro palette assigned to numbers 1-0. Which prompts a question:

    Why are they adding this new min-pallete instead of making it a third macro palette just like the existing ones, and give us an option to bind it to a keyboard or gamepad button press in FFXI Config? With 16 buttons (two of which are still not assigned on mine) I could esily find something to bind a 3rd macro bar to. A third macro bar like the two we already have might even be doable on the consoles, provided there aren't any memory constraints getting in the way. Just a thought......
