Thoughts on FFXIV and Version 2.0:

The UI needs to be more console-friendly. Right now, it relies on the mouse and keyboard too much. Something similar to the conventional FF design that's more condensed and a lot easier to navigate would be better.

only time i even touch the keyboard is when i type something. or the rare occasion i need to ensure i'm in walk mode where i have to turn off chat specific keyboard press x do my stuff etc. and the last time my mouse gets used is right about when i click the play button. so all being said i think its already fairly console friendly. maybe some minor tweaks here n there.

lol are you serious, Dzian? or are you, purposely, being dismissive?

You have to scroll back and forth, and up and down, constantantly during battle (if you use a controller). There's 10 icons, and 3 lines to go through, **unless** you use the keyboard. Then there's the 3rd option:

Macro every single one of your 30 selections (or at least about 18 of them, so you don't have to scroll left or right more than a few times); and then you only have to scroll through the 18 macros with your d-pad...ya, that's super controller-friendly :P

i agree here. the only time i am every touching mouse or keyboard is when i first sign into the game or typing out a macro. the game is pretty well setup for console/gamepads. i started the game using a keyboard, but one of my keys went out. i ordered a new one and started using a controller while i waited on the new one to come in. by the time my new keyboard came in there was nothing you could have done to force me back to kb/m because the controller was much easier to use.
