Controller & Keyboard

[Daniolaut]

I cannot give you keyboard/mouse suggestions, but i can direct you to a gamepad guide.

Personally I have no clue how people play on keyboard with so many actions needed.

This guide shows you how to easily control your actions with gamepad.

In the guide, I say, that I am not sure if this is possible with PS4 or PS3, I have personally set this up with PS4, and PS3 is getting canceled so it doesnt even matter if you can set it up that way on PS3 or not.

To go further, I place all combos as "Square, Triangle Circle" and other attacks as "Cross" or (X) and then the Right directional button.
Then I have buffs as Up Down Left and if no attack is needed, and i want a buff there, sometimes Right.

This makes playing all jobs very easy, and simple to remember where actions are. Then of course the "hidden hot bar" with the "fake cross hot bar" as R1+Square. I feel this will become even much more useful when they adjust the actions for battle classes moving forward. It frees up a significant amount of space, and keeps the UI clean since the Cross hot bar uses a system that constantly hides actions you dont need in any given 1-2 second time frame.
