macros are great and everything. but we shouldn't have to rely on them. i have literally almost no free slots on the XHB. it would be wonderful put something more useful in those slots. and sure disable direct text input and just use the keyboard to set a focus-target. but that defeats the purpose of playing with a gamepad to start with. i've had to remove the 8 or so gearsets from a XHB to fit macros and other important stuff. which means now i have to browse a list of like 20 or so gearsets every time i want to change. either way, a macro is a workaround.

right, that idea would be the same key presses. sometimes it would actually be one less button pressed. but like previously said L1 + Square would interfere with an already existing button combo. though still more convenient.


anyhow, i didn't come here to complain. i just thought it would be nice to have control functionality that we should already have. if Square Enix doesn't want to make focus-target more user-friendly for gamepad users... then so be it.
