Back Paddling is horrible.

[PEANUT]

I think people are stressing out way too much on something that is not even OUT yet. This is only alpha, and still has a lot of work to be done, especially little details on everything. Yoshi and the whole FFXIV team aren't idiots, I am sure they know what needs to be fixed and re-done etc and I am sure their final product will come out beautifully. ^^

I take it you were not in 1.0 Beta?

For what it's worth..

I agree this is a serious issue, and a lot less inconsequential and liable to go un-addressed than some might claim. Like anything it's probably best just to keep the developers aware of the concern until they disclose a useful answer.

I apologize if its been mentioned, since I skipped halfway threw page 3 and all of 4, since it seems be derailing..

But I don't think movements are polished yet. Not to say its going to be changed or removed, but do you remember other video's from alpha where they turn the camera, and the character is turning with it? Sliding on their heels/ext. Suprised that wasn't complained about... (Or was it?)

It was.


Anyhow, since there seems to be a button or key that lets you run towards the camera it's no big deal as your muscle memory will kick in and have you moving about like a pro within a few weeks.

Also, backpaddling is used in conjunction with a board of education in order to teach newbies.

It doesn't even look that bad and atleast you can do it.

Hopefully there will be a toggle to limit the backpedaling controls to when you are locked onto a target (classic ff14/ff11). This is especially true because while the new controls may work great for KB & mouse, it would more than likely prove to give bad game feel to game pad or KB only players.

All I got to say is - Right click mouse turn, run forward. Problem Solved

Separates the good players from the bad keyboard turners.
