I played FFXI for years with a controller, I used that same controller for FFXIV 1.0.

Now with 2.0 Controller use is faster, the UI is easier and it means I can lean back all nice and comfy while tearing apart the mob of choice ^^

The only thing was I needed to get used to the Xbox style controller since 2.0 didn't support my trusty old logitech. But I'm ok with that.
