So I need to press R1 to change to the next hotbar set for things like Limit Break, food, Chocobo commands, or place/heel my pet. I've read that there are other people who also can't use the double tap bar.
    Fortunately, I didn't have the problem of holding R1 too long yet, but I understand how it could be a problem.

    Piggy backing on this, I use my double-tap L2 for actions I want available on every job. So, things like limit break and summoning a mount.

    But because these are more universal actions, that's 8 hotbar spaces I can't use for job-specific actions, meaning that for every job, I use the R2 extended hotbar, but still need to swap to another hotbar occasionally. I can't place all my skills for ninja or summoner especially on just one hotbar.
