I'm not sure what you're talking about. The camera works fine for me...

To always stay at the character's back and not force you to manually pan. A chase cam option.

Chase cam was a useful option in FFXI. I would like this implemented in to FFXIV, too.

I noticed the camera will auto follow you if you scroll your mouse, at least until you try adjusting it manually again. Was that what you were looking for? o.o

Lemme correct it a little, either run straight forward or auto run and mouse adjust. Seems to do it that way.

Edit: Bah, it's not really a full option, only seems to work for auto running.

so..the OP wants to be bad? The whole point of being able to move your camera around is so that you can have a better view of what's going on around you. Why you would want it always at your back is beyond me...especially against mobs like Uraeus

/facepalm

What the OP is talking about was called a 'Chase Camera' option in FFXI. It keeps the camera directly behind you, follows you, even when you turn around. FFXIV does not have an option like this. It forces you to manually pan the camera, instead of the game automatically doing it for you. I've been complaining about this since the beta forums, but nothing's ever been done about it.

Idk about you, but I've always like having complete control over the camera. Even in FFXI, I never used the chase cam, I always used the arrow keys to move my cam. Any other way is just inefficient, lazy and will make you bad. Camera always behind you? Ok, what if a mob is hitting you from behind? You won't know what that mob is because you can't see them without stopping your auto-run and turning around. Chase cam = bad idea. No thanks.

If it was implemented, it would be an option. As it would be an option, the player would have the choice of turning it on or off. If you don't like it, you don't have to turn it on.

Options are a beautiful thing. Most gamers love options.
