This is pretty much how I do it.I play with a 360 controller on PC (Mouse and Keyboard felt weirdly sluggish in this game for me...). As a Dragoon, I use about 24 buttons, though only 16 regularly. The abilities that are situational go into the second bar and I simply press R1, use the ability, then R1 to go back to my main bar. This can be done while on the run in a split second. I also changed it in the settings so only these two bars will show up when my weapon is drawn. This way, I don't switch to bars that are useless for combat.
It does, but it really isn't. I prefer using a controller to mouse&keyboard--especially on fights like Titan, where being able to quickly and precisely move around is of utmost importance.
I use a PS4 controller on the PC. Other than some initial frustration until I saw how to edit the ffxiv.cfg file, it's great. One downside is the battery seems to drain pretty quick when using it on the PC compared to the battery life you get using a PS4 controller with a PS4. It's probably just lack of decent driver support, which will hopefully get taken care of at some point.
You have obviously never played Tera, thus do not know how the controller setup works just fine with the map, inv, jump, and the like.slight problem with this, the controller already does things without pressing any triggers, d-pad(crosspad to some of you) selects things on your screen. and the buttons also do things like auto attack, jump, bring up map, back
your idea is nice but it wouldnt work unless another button was used to allow those functions
I'll have to look into that. as of last time I went to try it I didnt have the room to install it. but I'll be getting another hard drive soon so I'll check it out after that
