Thought this would be pretty useful for people considering the Dualshock 4, which is available for purchase from Amazon, etc. The buttons are mixed up, and they could be rebound in the system menu, but the crossbar skills won't match up. Here's the solution:

"To make the DualShock 4 work 100% on PC, you have to manually edit the FFXIV.cfg file located in My Documents\My Games\Final Fantasy - A Realm Reborn.
Make a copy first if you wish, then ctrl+f and replace every instance of "alias" with this code:

Alias {90,91,88,89,41,40,32,33,73,72,48,49,3,2,1,0,4,6,10,5,7,11,9,8}

Also, if you were using the 360 controller, you'll have to switch the buttons from ABXY to XOST. This can be done in settings.

I highly recommend using a DS4 over the 360 pad. It's an amazing experience. Just a really solid design"
