Let me put it this way XI has probably the worst menu navigation I've seen in a game but XIV took the no.1 prize in that competition in few minutes.

Why I can't even access all the menus on a controller in XIV!

Other fun things:

-Skillbar is to the XI spell menu what Tabasco is for a cake. Once you end up in a wrong row you're probably taking 3 punches to the face before you find the skill you're looking for.

-...Which is insane since XIV skill bar let's you use about 1/4th of the skills that were available to me in XI lol

-Why the hell is the equipment screen such a mess? Honestly did the devs even TRY to navigate from head to pouches using a D-pad?! Honestly as punishment they should do 20 000 equipment swaps on a controller.

-Fishing ('nuff said)

-Just let me eat this useless Culinarian item real quick...wait...I CAN'T!

-It's understandable that chatlog gets 99 999 lines of spam even on the most minimum log settings but it would be nice to access the text in full-screen while auto running over the copypasteville to see what that NPC said

Reducing the menu lag was a massive improvement but after that I haven't seen any of the real issues being adressed in any way.
