Will gamepad function the same in ARR?

[Coyohma]

In one of the many interviews Yoshida mentioned how the Cross Hotbar works. Essentially if you press one of the trigger buttons, it brings up the hotbar, when it's up if you press the corresponding button (arrows, triangle, square, circle, x) you execute that command. Each different trigger button also brings up a different hotbar so with two button presses you execute a command. There is also a button to cycle through bars if i'm not wrong.

This gives you access, at minimum, 16 different actions with the press of two buttons that are very comfortably placed.

I suspect some gamepad users are going to get annoyed having to constantly hold down either L2 or R2. I'm hoping to use the keyboard UI, but still be able to move and pan the camera via controller as I did in 1.0.. But so far they've made it sound like the two aren't compatible this time around.
