May I suggest an alternative targeting system, though? Although it would still involve using the mouse, but it'd be a start...

Allow players to hold down left-click and drag a marquee around multiple monsters. A list similar to the party member list would show up, and players could use their mouse, function keys, etc. to select individual targets from only that marquee selection. I see it being just like dragging to select multiple icons on your computer's desktop, and then using Shift+Click or Ctrl+Click to make your selection more specific. Players could then use AoE moves on specific enemies more easily.

Just a random thought. I'm not really sure how you could make it easier for keyboard-only or controller setups... maybe have some sort of numeric interface that pops up next to each monster on-screen (next to their levels or something) and players could press a button combination (say, Shift+3, or L2+Triangle, etc.) to target the monster that has #3 next to it.

Neat idea to lasso mobs into a selectable UI list. would be great to keep track of mob HP and buffs and debuffs.

Come PS3 launch they need to find a better/faster targeting system.
