Tab targeting through party

Am I the only person alive who wants this? Can we have it? Pretty please?

I remember this from XI and loved it. I got used to the system here, tab being used for enemies, and use F-keys for party member targeting. With that being said, I honestly thought you could change your targeting in the settings somewhere.

*Under keybind >targetiing

?

I'm actually talking about one key to cycle through the party. I have a gaming keypad/mmo mouse combo, so the "1 key per party member" thing isn't really "ideal." Unless I (and my FC....) have missed it, there's no way to set one key to cycle through the list of people in your party. You can do it with mobs, but not with your party.

There has got to be...on my PS3 or PS4 you just press up or down to cycle through them...I cannot believe that the "Amlighty PC" would not have something similar to this....Chalk one up for the Console players....YAY!!!!!!

You can bind a key to do the up/down function from a gamepad. By default, 8 and 2 on the numpad are already bound to it.

Those keys seem a weird way to do it...I would have to change that.

eeeeeeehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.... still two keys. You can cycle mobs with one key. Why not make that an option on your party?

So only use one of the keys? Down you go down through the party list. Up you go up through the party list. Both wrap around at the ends.

If you want cycling based on the character models' positions, yeah, that's missing & wouldn't be a bad addition.

I wish there was a way for healers to cycle through party members with r1 and l1 on a controler. That or bring back <stpc> macros like we had in ffxi. It would be awesome to be able to cycle through party members while the cross bar is visible.

Since you can use L1 and R1 to cycle through mobs when L2 or R2 is held down, it seems like it would be possible to use that to cycle through party members if you used the party members target filter at the same time. I find it awkward to tab target with L1 and R1 so I haven't personally tested this though.

How about Player Character cycling? I know there's /nextpc, or something else... I'd love to have cycling non-party members when I'm adventuring and I see people and I want to heal them.
EDIT: Hell, why not allow us to use the Mouse Wheel paired with Ctrl or something to allow player cycling, or Alt to cycle party.

+1 for player cycling/targeting, needed for 'eye for an eye' atm I have to click on the name top right of my screen

Well you can tab through monsters and shift+tab to cycle back.
So let's say you bind ² to cycle down through party (first key) you can also bind shit+² to cycle backwards.

Here we go: you have what you wanted :p

There's no setting to "Cycle through Party Members." There's "Cycle through Enemies (Tab & Shift+Tab)", "Cycle Up/Down through Enmity List (Ctrl+Num8 & Ctrl+Num2)", and even "Cycle through Alliance List (Ctrl+Num6 & Ctrl+Num4)". But if you want to cycle through the party, you have to enable target cycling in Character Settings, set up keys to "Set Targeting Mode to Party Only" and then back to whatever you want it on, then begin cycling.

This is a fantastic guide outlining that process: http://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/1knlxo/

But it's so much more involved than it needs to be. I'd much rather there be available keybinds to do the exact same thing as "Cycle through Alliance List" but with the Party List. It seems a little ridiculous that the functionality is there but not capitalized on. Please please, SE.

This. Let us Cycle through Party Members the same way we can cycle through nearby Mobs or the Alliance.
