    I love the new system - All it does is prove that we're so preprogrammed without realizing it. It doesn't take much to adjust to the new system honestly, especially because "Party" and "Enemy" are literally next to each other I've had no problems as a conjurer or Gladiator.

    But it does cause problems when you use a controller and relied on the D-pad to cycle through your party members in an ordered fashion. If forced to use Left and Right (since down now changes your targets instead of targeting anything) you cycle through your party in a way that makes little sense. You might select the same 3 people over and over while mashing the right button waiting to highlight the person who is actually dying. I think it has less to do with being 'pre-programmed' and more to do with having a logical design. There are a reason why some things work. :/

    Playing as s mage as well i had a lot of difficulties - and more dead bodies close to me - then before.
    Playing on the controller like i did in ffxi and so far in ffxiv, which worked very good, now is a big problem.

    There should be an option for party and all - but you shoudl be able to bind the keys for it, so its just like you want it. Party would be mobs and members (who needs friendly... didnt find a situation where you really need that)

    Let everyone customize their targetting system and how many different options they'd like to have. So nobody can complain and is happy - at least for the time being.
