left and right d-pad to scroll through mobs, up and down to scroll through players. I find it helps if I move the camera around behind myself facing the way my character is, left will scroll to the left mob.. example, mobs. A. B. C. your targeted on B, left will move to A, whereas right will move to C.. that's how I work the system anyways. just my .02
ps3 limitations... use a pc or hook up a mouse and keyboard ftw!
Hold R2 or L2 and press L1 or R1. That is the most efficient way to cycle through your enemies on ps3.
Keep in mind, you can't target with L/R2 method the mob if they are not in your line if sight. So if one ran off and started beating on a healer or ranged DPS, you have to change camera views to get them on screen to target.
Could never get used to that lol
What I've done is modified the default settings to only cycle through enemies while weapon is drawn. A lot of times the autotarget isn't on the enemy you want, it will be a pet or some random object in the distance. Once you change the settings targeting the correct enemy is a little easier. Other than that make sure to adjust your camera angle so you can see all the enemies you need to see, awkward camera angles can sometimes prevent you from selecting things due to not being visible onscreen.
Good luck! It will get better, though, as a fairly well experienced tank I still having targetting issues on occasion, so just know without mouse + keyboard you will still experience some problems.
hold L1 and use up/down on the d-pad to cycle through the enmity list.
I prefer to us this myself, thought i dont think its the most efficient. You'll get used to it in no time if you decide to do it this way, though. Would only recommend if you have the "Hold" option as opposed to "Toggle" on to access your hotbar
Press cancel, face target you want. Hit accept.
Found this to be way more accurate and pretty much rivals a mouse. Only problem is if Key items get in the way (like tonberry oils).
Just a quick note also, I've noticed that when you cycle through the enemies (left and right) it disregards their distance to you and can cycle through enemies far up a hall or corridor and barely in your line of sight, so sometimes handy to adjust the screen view so that only those you are currently fighting to be visible.
