I just spent an hour trying to figure out if its possible to use straight hotbar and Controller, then I discovered this thread.

Please... very please... give us a legacy Controller Setup. The crossbar is absolutly not made for me... I can set up up 16 skills... my warrior has 15 class, 5 Job, and 5 additional skills making it 25 plus the common skills... switching though sets during a speedy battle is absolutly gross... my arcanist feels even worse with the pet toolbar...

I loved my Gamepad in FFXI, I loved it in 1.0... but here I feel like throwing it out of the window when I just died cause it took me too Long to find the correct set.

What I desire: 10-12 Skills on L1, 10-12 Skills on R1... cycle through them with the cross on the Controller and Holding R1 or L1 + Cross Up and Down Switches the set.
