Targeting System not quite there...

[Arcell]

All they need to do is add a layer on top of the current system that prioritizes engaged/attacking targets. Initially my first thought was to limit it to engaged/attacking targets but that could cause some issues with trying to get started on monsters that aren't yet attacking you but aren't engaged.

What if you could control the mouse "finger" with the controller? that would help a lot. Like Auto-run + Camera Control axis. Also..... change the finger to a dot so its more inconspicuous,(or allow us in config to change the curse to a smaller finger even) but i guess I could find the dat file for that and change it on my own.

They did that with Lost Planet and it didn't work out so well. I use a gamepad currently and it's fine, they just need to add the priority.

I think one of the quirks with the targeting system that gives so many people problems is that it bases the next target to select on where the character model is looking.

I find this to be problematic when trying to cycle through enemy's. My natural instinct is to move my camera to face the enemy I want to attack.

I would like to be able to target based on what the camera is looking at, not the player model. An option in the targeting sub menu to toggle this would be great!

I mentioned this way back in the old days. I think this change would make things much easier.

I still find it odd that XIV has such wonky targeting compared to XI.

And in regards to your signature, I've done that before as well. T_T
