Chocobo on a half shell ... I'm diggin it.

Is it just me, or is the Screen in the "First" Picture (with Yoshi-P and Morbol) kinda look like Ul'dah ?

I know the Image is kind of small, but I can't think of anything "looking" like that other than "Ul'dah", "Ishgard", "Some-Stone Buildings". The Construct, in my opinion, resembles the current Ul'dah of 1.0.

Although at least it looks like a "City" or someplace with a Trace of Civilization.

I think they """may""" have done the same thing again, hence the message
" As a trade-off, though, you don't get to see the object that Yoshi-P is holding in his hands. "

They did it once, they could do it again...

Speculation!

PS3 disadvantage = Addon and can't load that many players/mobs but SE is making a system where it going to load the right mobs so it should not worry seeing how low end pc can't load that many also.

While I personally have never used my TV as my monitor My LS (and main tank) used his 42" TV as a monitor for several months and had no issues with it. (As a side note he uses the same controller setup that I do)

That means you have 16 commands (8 for L2, 8 for R2) readily available at the press of 2 buttons, which makes it just as efficient as the keyboard. When you let go of the triggers, I guess the controller will work similarly to how it did in 1.0. When you press both triggers at the same time, you can change sets of actions by pressing up or down like you how changed bars in 1.0.

It sounds pretty awesome, tbh. I can't wait to try it.

The last one is not right. To change the cross-bar (I call it that for now ^^), you press L2+R2 and 1 button from the d-pad or 1 button from the cross-triangle-circle-square buttons.
As example, you want cross-bar #5. You press L2+R2+triangle and the cross-bar switch to #5. Then you press L2+R2+d-pad up and cross-bar switch back to #1

There are 8 cross-bars and each cross-bar has 16 slots. That are 128 slots total ^^

I got two of them when they where 10$ but the rubber pad was so cheap. My gf craft and DOH a lot so the d-pad fail on her really quick. For me the X fail i had to open other broken controller i had laying around and change the rubber pad around to fix them.

Overall i did enjoy the controller still have one that working the other broke due to bad soldering. Also not sure about others but the drivers to make the rumble and the F-function work give BSOD i mean everything was done cheap lol.

That why i stay with XBOX controller if a PS3 controller work for PC without going crazy with drivers and shit i would have got that but i took the easy way and got a xbox and just learn how to use one. in FFXI i use a ps2 controller with a USB adapter which was great but now i just don't see the point wasting money on a ps2 controller a sub adapter when i can get a xbox wire controller for little less ;).
