An Idea for Focus Target and Assist.

But what I'm saying is, you already have a filter for enemies. L1 and R1 only selects enemies.

??? But those are for switching hotbars. How can you target with the same key that changes your hotbar?

And quite honestly, I've almost never had to heal people outside of PT. Not even in Crystal Tower. And if I have to, L1+left and right select those people.

Really? I come across people low on health pretty regularly. Most often in FATEs, but also just passing by them as I'm travelling around. Then again, I do actually travel around. I guess lots of people port everywhere, so maybe don't get chances to see other players as often (at least not where they'd be in combat and potentially in need of healing). But anyway, I didn't know about L1+left/right targeting other non-partied players.

If you press L1/R1 while holding L2/R2, the target cycles through enemies only.

D pad is much easier. If you are fine with doing that. Why are you not capable of hitting square and selecting the option for focus target?

you have to press Square and use Up on the d-pad. then press either Square or Cross again. and that is not even counting having to repeat the process to completely remove your focus target. that is too many pressed buttons for something that should be so simple. in the middle of combat when you have other things to worry about like positioning or hate it can be much easier to make mistakes. i have never played a MMORPG where you had to go through so much trouble to set a focus-target.

sure macros work, but they're an inconvenient work-a-round. a more direct approach would be suitable.

3 key presses, same as what devante uses every time he changes enemies. So for example if you changed targets using lt/rt and l1 then hold l1 and hit square. That's more key presses than dpad, open menu up on dpad and then select. If you want it on less presses macros is best.
