I want arrows keys mapped to camera!

I also hate that we can't use the arrow keys to move the camera as it's very tedious so I just downloaded some tool which allowed me to enable my PS3 controller on my PC and I reconfigured the whole thing for my game pad (similar to XI)

For this reason I can chill back and play it as if it's on my PS3 win win!

So after a 4 month hiatus I decided to pop back on and check out what updates have happened. Unfortunately I find that the keyboard still cannot be remapped. Honestly, I don't care what you add to the game, if I'm not comfortable with the controls I'm not ever going to get into it past casual chatting with friends. I want the ability to re-map my keyboard to whatever configuration I desire, until that happens I will continue to find other means of entertainment.

Hey everyone! We know this has been a very popular topic on multiple occasions and the dev. team wanted to let you know that they have began working on increasing the key mapping settings. This will include being able to set the camera controls to the arrow keys!

Ooh! Ooh! What about Mouse3/Mouse4/Mouse5, MM keys, and F13->F20?

Very nice to hear!

Thanks so much for the reply.

Very nice! They may as well let the user remap everything to any key. There really isn't any reason not to do that.

In fact, some people need flexible remapping functionality because of disabilities.

I had to log in to say thank you for the news on this Rukkirii. This has been bugging the heck out of me since beta and still does. Glad to hear this and hope it's for real this time (they said during beta it was being worked on too -_-)

Game is only playable with a gamepad imo. I ran out of batteries on mine one day and tried to play keyboard. Too frustrating to actually do anything with. I had absolutely no problem with FFXI on keyboard since I used the numpad and the arrow keys, I loved it. I would gladly go back to keyboard if we could use the same keys.

FFXIV has a good Keyboard layout to me quickplay Battle Regimens just hold Shift an press the number and press G when ready i have never played with such a clean keyboard layout i never have to put my hand on the mouse to play W,A,S,D to move around and I,J,K,L to pan camera around freely if u wanna zoom out u use page up an down most people play with a control which is really disappointing because it really gimps there speed an amount of things that player can do from the control if u learn to use there keyboard layout u will gain speed an reaction time with certain commands an Battle Regimens

I take it you don't use periods because they only slow you down.
