PS3 Monster Select

I don't really know where else to post this as it's not technically a bug, more of a suggestion.

Is this something that can be improved? I would like the monster targeting to target the closest monster, not ones across the screen and 5 selects over I finally select the one I want. It makes doing FATEs rather difficult, especially when the majority of the time I'm selecting other players.

Also, is there a way to make it so where once I select a monster, it stays selected? There's been plenty of times where I'll be attacking one monster and my select automatically goes to another. I think it's because another monster is attacking me? It is rather annoying and has gotten me killed on some occasions.

Or am I not playing the game right? lol

1. Press Start
2. System
3. Character Configuration
4. Target Filter

PS There are MILLIONS of threads about controller targeting, but the short story is:
It works, take a day or 2 to figure it out.

How do you filter out Carbuncle? I have set for enemies and agro enemies only and still get carbuncle in F.A.T.E.s, in fact the target cycling almost always will target Carbuncle first and only until you have been through all of them on the field of play before it will target the actual mobs.
To me it seems that Carbuncle was totally forgotten in the filters, one of the problems with not being able to beta test the class before EA.

I just hope they fix this and soon.

I took a day to figure it out...there is no filter to target closest monster which is my main problem. Will I be able to figure this out on day 2?

We REALLY need a pet filter. I only have my filters set to pt and mobs now. Does this filter out the carby's? Yes....but it also means I can't target anyone else outside my pt. So if you need a heal on the fly? Oh well. I can't target you. The mass amount of Carby cycling was just too much. One had to go and being able to help other people was it.

Please SE, we need a pet filter!
