Please consider L1 + Triangle and X for cycling party list

If people used the target filters, they'd probably be griping that changing stance resets the filter.

I've been using them since 2.0 started, I have no idea what you're talking about. I switch between enemies, NPCs/objects and non-party PCs with ease using the filters. The only time they ever reset to 'All' is when I relog. Otherwise it stays with whatever option I've picked whether I've changed jobs or stances or whatever.

I'm quite sure a great number of people use them. Anytime someone asks for targetting advice on a controller, target filters is often the first thing that pops up, whether it be here or reddit.

I have no experience with 1.0 and I'm not particularly interested. It's history. All that matters is that they work great now.

Actually, I rather wish they'd use our L1+face button

They actually did introduce L1+Dpad options. Around 2.1, I think?
L1 up/down scrolls between the mobs on your hate list ← great for when your tank pulls the entire dungeon.
L1 left/right scrolls between alliance members ← not particularly fast but it works.

When i toggle thru party while i run i has to do the legendary psp claw lol with my 1st finger tapping up or down while my thumb moves.

I just use auto-run. If you're using standard camera, you can maneuver with the right stick.
If it's only a short distance, I just reach over with my right thumb.

Then let me clarify.

Here you can see I have the set the filter to "ENEMIES", said so right above my HP (bottom of screen).


I engage, changing stance. Without fail, the filter changes from "ENEMIES" to "OTHERS"


Having achieved victory, I sheath my weapon changing the filter back to "ALL."


I have a hard time imaging people using this would put up with it for very long.
