Playing an MMO with a controller

[Nanaho]

I think FFXIV has a very good controller scheme but it will never be as good as mouse & keyboard.

this game needs at least 3 action bars to play your job to its full potential.

targeting with a controller is no match to mouse & keyboard as well.

I 100% Disagree with this. The controller already has more Button slots then we have abilities, and even more so on some jobs then others because of less useful abilities, etc. my DRG for example has 3 or 4 empty slots, because i just dont have any other abilities to put in them. Why would you need 30 buttons for one job? I just dont see how you would, Unless you have multiple slots with the exact same ability, And that would again make me ask, Why?

Yeah ill concede to this, Pet classes like SMN and SCH are better off with a lot of hot bar space. and Healing in general is just easier with Mouse over macros, but for the rest of the classes, controller performs just as well if that's what you're used to using.

I just refuse to accept an answer of "you need 3 hotbars to be good at your job"
