I did a quick search but couldn’t find a topic on it: I find it really hard to use the legacy controls on FFXIV, with the mouse controlling the direction I generally find myself running about like an idiot (especially in F.A.T.Es), and constantly missing chances to attack, I much prefer the new kb/m controls with the character controlling the direction.

So it’s unfortunate that I can’t play my preferred job (Warrior) as I enter endgame. Why? Well, it’s simple. The kb/m locks onto the target with the new controls, and when tanking a mob that uses AOE moves, I press backward to move out of range my character…..moves….very….slowly. It’s a small thing, and has such a huge impact on how well I play my role (especially in the eyes of others, who, at endgame, can be – shall we say – a little bit unforgiving)? With legacy controls you can move out of the way no problem, but controlling the character seems beyond my dex, even with two HQ Spinel Rings.

I’d love a fix for this.
