PS4 targeting help

[monochromicorn]

If you hold down L2 and press R1 (or L1) it will cycle through mob targets.

Also when you have a mob targeted, using left or right on the d-pad with soft target, so if you select another target and fire off a spell it will then go back to your original target (if you don't press x).
This is useful for casting sleep on another mob, for example.

But using the L2 +R1 method it will hard target (the newly selected target will then be you main target).

i never thought about that, as the classes i mainly play as are WHM and BLM, im healing the party, or mainly doing AoEs
