Man, these games are getting to the point where I wonder whether it's a third person shooter/Hack 'n' slash or, you know, an MMORPG.

But anyway, that's kinda pretty and all, but... how is it any more efficient? Or heck, how in hell is it any more comfortable?

Your camera angle is incorrect. The way you have it drawn is as if it's in first person. When you flip camera it just flips 180 degrees it doesn't go into first person view.

As I noted the camera angles are for mouse turning, not flipping the screen. I covered both.

I actually can't stand to play FFXIV 1.0 with keyboard and mouse. I actually play with a controller because of this. For me backpedaling and strafing is a must to play with keyboard and mouse. You sort of get this in 1.0 when you lock onto target, however it's still weird because your movements become restricted and can't strafe in one direction. You end up rotating around the target and have to toggle off the lockon target to get out of it.

It's still not right. You have drawn the camera in first person.

This thread is just... wow.

Yeah, we all haven't tried a controller in alpha...

Well yeah, I guess I can see why backpedaling and strafing would be more comfortable with keyboard and mouse, but not at all with a gamepad (I still consider keyboard/mouse uncomfortable as hell regardless of controls, though). More of a reason to include both as an option, right? I really, really hope that's what they'll do.

[sarcasm]My, there are people expressing their opinions and concerns regarding an aspect of the game in a space created for discussing aspects of the game. Wow...[/sarcasm]

Yes, I expect we will see both options in Beta or there will be an uproar with the controller users . Alpha was just keyboard/mouse only.

* The Alpha Test will focus on keyboard and mouse UI tests. Gamepads are not supported

youll have to learn to use the flip camera button

I like being able to backpedal/run backwards and would love having a flip camera button more than the removal of backward movement without targeting.

Yep, that's why they are working on the UI controller for controller lovers.

Haha, well that's very true. ^____^;

At no point in your video do I see you turn around and run backwards in a straight line. I don't think we're on the same page.
