    that would interfere with the binds used in Custom Filters. that filter would need to be disabled. i didn't come up with anything for selecting the target. because if any player needs to actually target their Focus Target, then they most likely already have it woven in to their regular macro's.

    but there is still the L1+L3 button combo yet. though i don't know if Square Enix plans to do anything with it.

    Oh yeah, forgot about that. Knew there was something.
    Quite honestly, do we need these custom filters?

    I used them often on keyboard but absolutely never on gamepad.
    I mostly used up/down, L1+up/down, and get close to something and press X.

    I find those custom filters quite useful.

    Up/down can target party members, but doesn't help if you want to heal other players not in your party.
    L1+up/down can target mobs whom you've already engaged, but doesn't let you target new mobs you haven't attacked yet, as those ones won't be in your enemy list.
    Getting close isn't convenient for ranged characters, and even when close it can still be hard to control which mob may get selected by just pressing X.

    So I'm usually selecting targets with left/right, and it's helpful to be able to control what gets included in the cycle for those.

    That's all I use is the custom filters, I like being able to only select enemies or only selecting allies etc.
