point-and-click

[Sweetheart]

I would really like to see point-and-click movement system being implemented.
Not as a default one ofc, but as an option for pc&mac users.

Some of u might think this is old school, but even new mmos still include this option.
I think it might be really handful in many situations like NM's or Dungeon Boss battles.

Also by adding click to move, it means we will be one more step closer
to customize our movement and ui to whatever we're used to.

this game is designed as a Console MMO, just like FFXI was, point&click does not fit into that style

I think this is more akin to TES or The Witcher in term of KB+Mouse, not DA:O. They designed it to be more action-based rather than click, wait, click, wait.

Well yes and no. FFXIV isn't really action mmo like Tera etc. And with strategic nature of battle in FFXIV I think it would be good to have that option. Even upcoming big mmo ArchAge does have click to move as secondary to the wasd controls. Even wow has a click to move option

click to move style movement is really helpful for players with the use of only one arm, though that is somewhat of a rare case (I'm being totally serious in case anyone thought I was joking for some reason). Of course, as the OP stated, there are other uses for it.

you know that is true, I honestly never thought about that.

The one reason I've seen brought up in this thread that hits the nail on the head. Accessibility. Not everyone who plays games has all limbs accounted for; whats more this feature would be beneficial for people with impaired motor control (Cerebral Paulsy for example)

Adding options like click to move can only help those who love to play games but need alternate controls.

Ideally this would work the way it does in other MMOs which offer this feature. Left click for targeting, selecting and interacting with NPCs, right click for click to move and click-drag to move camera.

Clicking to run away from NM AoE sucks more than using WASD and no-locking camera. That is why action/shooter games don't have point-and-click aspect...

Hmm... I'm pointing and clicking targets too when I don't use my keyboard.
What do you mean by point-and-click?

EDIT
uh... leave that sentence alone.
Anyway, you can hope to have one of that system when they'll revision the maps. It's a cool addition, so you can wait a Devs' response about it!

I'm all for adding functionality but point and click is pretty archaic these days and not needed IMO.
