(I don't know how to answer that question.)

Obviously, you are japanese I guess? however could you tell me, how you switch so quickly using the gamepad when healing? Is there a specific filter setting I missed for that?

If you only have 2 bars that have skills on them, tapping R1 will toggle between them

Yes I knew that, considering I am playing on a ps3. I guess I was not completely clear, I meant between friendly players. I noticed he was switching in the party between players while skipping several names. When I try to select others in the party with a gamepad, I have to manually move over each party member till ir each the one I wanted.

The target isn't jumping past party members. Just watch the light beside the job icon, he is still going through targets he doesn't want using up and down. It's just being done fast (from watching the first video anyway)

Not necessarily.

Character Settings -> Hotbar Settings -> Cross -> Set Selection. Check enable customization (including when weapon is drawn) and check only hotbars 1 and 2, then you can put skills on more bars without it toggling past the second.

I use the third hotbar for things like Summons, buffs and stances. It'll only enable if I press R1 + X.

Guys, Evangela screwed up, we know that. Posting witty replies gets redundant after one or two posts.

There is, you can also switch to virtual mouse mode (l1+r3) and place the circle with the right stick. This leaves you immobile and unable to quickly switch back to gamepad mode should you suddenly have to move though. All I can say is give it some time, it will become your second nature. I usually have my camera pre-positioned so that I can quickly place a Sacred Soil around a tank, this becomes important around titan HM.

edit: I think I read somewhere they considered allowing to place the circle with a mouse, however that would be PC only, so they don't want that. They are currently unhappy with the way the placement is done on gamepad and are looking for a way to improve it

I like how you only have to highlight something to cast a skill on it.

Up/down for party members, left/right for monsters. If a person in the last party slot needs healing, you can just press up two times, heal, and you never lose your current target.
On the keyboard you'd have to press F8, cast, then F2 again (back to tank) just to heal a person. The physical distance between F8 and F1 is huge.
Also, between the CTRL/ALT keys and the numbers, there's a lot of space. Using Alt + 7 for example is quite a chore. While on controller there's no physical distance to travel. You have 16 skills under your thumbs. 16 more in a mere R1 press.

Personally, I've never got used to playing on a Keyboard. Even with one and half years of WoW, I adapted to FFXIV's controller scheme and I think it's almost perfect.
