PS4 - Needs a way to disable the Legacy Camera Auto Rotate - Please

[shumakiso]

Basically a full complete "character" and "camera" separation. This way you could essentially see a character running/moving naturally forward, from a side angle. Which is not possible with Standard, nor Legacy settings.

That's right Dani. Thanks btw for contacting me and walking through it to help understand. Sorry I had to bail but i had to bounce

Gods yes, the auto-correcting camera is a right pain. And I'm not even bothered by it for the same reasons you folks are. I just hate it while I've got auto-run going in the field. I'd like being able to pan around and take in the view, or have the camera hold while I try to click something while running, but it's not very cooperative for those purposes.

This too!!!! I'm a big "look arounder" too and the auto-Correcting camera kills it.

Its got to be a simple addition right? DEVs?

I use the standard. If I really want to look around I will use first person view, or zoom out

Definitely wish we had the option to toggle it off. Really annoying and hurts my eyes.

Wow has a good no-move camera option. When you use it, your camera maintains it's position relative to your character no matter what you do. You can set it to show your character from the side, or front while moving without having to hold a mouse button or key. I wish I had the same option here.

If you set it behind your character, it stays there, even when you turn with keyboard or mouse.

I'm doing my bit to keep this thread alive. Please address this issue Square Enix. It would mean so much to those of us who play on controller.

Most modern games have this option now. I even re-bought FFXII on the switch (after already owning the PS4 version) because they incuded this option on the switch version. Even Final Fantasy VII remake has the auto rotate camera disabled by default - and I think most of us would agree is so much better for it.

I feel like auto rotate camera is becoming one of those controller hang-ups of the past like tank controlled FPS's (N64 Golden Eye anyone?) - we have evolved past needing it. If people still want it let it be an option to disable. Because those of us who find auto-rotate diminishes fidelity of camera control find we are constantanly fighting with the camera and it really discourages us from wanting to look around when moving.

I've seen how Square Enix look take feedback from the commuity seriously and I know it's a long shot but I really hope someone from the team see this.

bumping to try and get devs attention as i truly feel this wouldnt be a hard addition to the game, they just need to know about it

However, I'm sure there are others who would appreciate being able to play in Legacy without the camera auto-adjust. And as I said, since it's right there in the settings, it's weird that it just mysteriously doesn't apply to Legacy for no discernible reason.

So maybe we can get this on the devs' radar? Would be a small change, but a welcome one.

I would love to use legacy, but I can't stand the camera. I have a problem with not being able to pan while moving without turning my character, so I use standard. I don't know if it's quite the problem being discussed in this thread, but I think if they fix what you're talking about, my issue would be resolved as well. I hope the devs listen.

Hm, maybe I misunderstood the problem but I use always legacy-mode and I never had the problem that the camera would auto-adjust?

I just tested out-of-fight and in-fight: if I press "s" may char turns around and moves "towards" my screen, no camera adjustment at all.

Edit: Sry, I use mainly keyboard + mouse. I will test it on my PS4 too.

Some people dont mind it but some do. With as easy as a fix as it is, i dont see any reasob not to have the option

[shumakiso]

Bumping because I care and love s(^_-)b
