[Suggestion] Update game controller support for Windows

[Traxus]

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.

true but we don't expect them to auto configure it, just to give us native xinput support as an option, I'm okay with configuring the buttons myself, its not like I haven't done it several times already

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.
