I play on Ps4, not using a single macro and I don't have any problems managing my skills and my fairy.
In the end it doesn't matter if you have 2 pages for your skills or 4, as you can straight go to the page you want using R1 + the appropriate button. So if you press R1 + X or R1 + circle doesn't really make a difference. It's just a matter of getting used to it.
