PS3 Players and progression.

I still don't see how PC players can play Titan Hard keyboard/mouse lol

And I do not see how controller people can heal with decent speed lol

I don't heal in endgame, but some of the best healers I know are PC players and do not use mouse/keyboard, they use a controller.

It's so easy. Don't knock it till you try it. Don't talk down on it unless you've done it. I've healed everything in the game pre Echo buff(aside from SCoB) as both types of SCH(1: Controlling Eos manually. 2: Letting Selene be a badass on sic) and WHM on a controller. I main a BLM for SCoB.

Some people prefer mouse/keyboard others prefer a gamepad. To someone who prefers a gamepad, and always uses one when the option is available, mouse and keyboard is clunky and hard to use. To someone who always uses mouse/keyboard, gamepad is clunky and hard to use. Just because you use mouse/keyboard, doesn't mean that those who play on gamepad can't do just as well if not better than you do, but the opposite is also true, just because you play with a gamepad doesn't mean that those who play with keyboard/mouse can't play just as well if not better. Different people have different skills. Some of them are way better at playing with a gamepad, others are way better at playing with keyboard/mouse. The only one that is superior is the one you're more comfortable playing with. I, for one, cannot play with keyboard/mouse. I try, and I fail hardcore. I have never been a big PC gamer. I've always played console games. I never trained myself to use keyboard/mouse controls, and I don't see how anyone can, or would ever want to when a gamepad is so much easier to use. But then, I'm sure there are people out there who have the opposite experience. Different strokes for different folks, but the moment you start thinking you're superior to someone, you probably just became inferior to them instead.

While both control methods are certainly usable in this game, there's still a difference in how good they are for this particular game. The gap isn't as large as say in an FPS, but it's there. And before you say it's because people are used to one over the other, some of us have years of experience using BOTH. So either one is natural to us, so we start to see which has advantages in a given game. It really depends on the game which one will be superior to the other.

This is the only problem I have with people who make the personal preference claims, which are fine in their own regard. But they use that to try and invalidate that one system is better than another, slight or not.

The difference in reaction time/APM is much less noticeable in XIV thanks to the 2.5 second GCD, as opposed to other MMOs which usually carry a 1.5 second GCD. From someone who healed in WoW for several years pushing progression, healing in this game is almost slow motion. So, yeah, while keyboard/mouse will always be the superior input method in an MMO like this, the difference between it and a gamepad is much smaller since the game is, as a whole, slower paced.

my Scholor co-healer is on PC and uses his ps4 controller, he cant imagine NOT using it, just like if my RAZER Naga broke I would be utterly lost, I cant use a keyboard to use my skills anymore lol.
