can anyone explain difference between target mode a and c

i can see anything different between a and c.

A- Set to All
Up/Down targets party members
Left/Right targets all targets
(With a controller you can Push the Auto-Run button + EmoteList for 'ALL', Main Menu for 'Friendly', Cancel for 'Party', Confirm for 'Enemy')

C-
Always set to ALL and can't be changed like A can for controller users

from what I've tested, with a keyboard

it's seem like they messed up the A mode, something might went wrong

No, you're just not paying attention, Leeloo just explained it two posts above yours. Target mode A will require you to be in a party to test it out.

I want a D Mode which only target enemies

B Mode lets you switch between friendly and enemy targeting.

I wish they would have clarified what each mode now does in today's patch notes, considering that was the only real change.

I thought thats what the targeting modes did prior to the patch?

Pretty much, the new thing was adding /tmode C

People were having issues on /tmode A where it would change to "enemy" or "party" unexpectedly and screw them up. Then they'd have to type the /tmode commands to change & then change back. When all they wanted was to keep it set to "All".http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...1.17a-Not-Good

Also this was added:

A new text command has been added which allows players to specify targeting behavior when pressing confirm without a target selected.

/directtarget (/dtar) [subcommand]
　>>Subcommands
　on 　Toggle direct targeting on.
　　　(Overrides active targeting mode to render all characters selectable.)
　off Toggle direct targeting off.
　　　(Determines selectable targets based on current targeting mode.)
　Toggle between on and off when no subcommand is specified.
　* The default setting is off.

With this if you like to have it set to "Enemy" with /tmode A or B you can use "/dtar on" to allow you to target a non-enemy that's right in front of you(The camp battlewarden perhaps) without having to change your targeting setup.

i think this probably helps controller users out more, since target mode a i assume still allows you to change targets with auto run and a command button, where as c always is set to all
