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

[DracotheDragon]

i would grately love the ability for full camera and charecter seperate movement, though i love the legasy it makes it a pain when exploring or wanting to have a look at things, and the standerd my be nice for now and then situations the forced charecter lock on the direction i am looking is a pain.

the movement of legasy with a camera that isnt flying around would be a sweet releaf

I've taken to always using both of the controller's analog sticks whenever I move, controlling my movement with the left while holding the camera steady with the right, in order to prevent the auto-adjust. (When I actually want the camera to move around to behind my character, I'll move it there myself.)

That takes care of the problem, but at the cost of using both thumbs just to move. With instant skills, that should be able to be used while moving, I actually pause momentarily, just long enough to hit the button, and then resume my movement. Of course, that really brief pause is nothing like having to wait for a cast bar or anything, so it's rarely an issue, but it does make mobile jobs slightly less mobile.

Do devs ever acknowledge threads? Im going to keep this bumped because squeaky wheels get the oil and this is an easy wheel to fix

Isn't there a tech support or bug forum? It might get a response in a different place since this is general chat. The mods don't come in here often. We bite.

The standard in most MMO forums I've been around is for stuff to be noted and passed up the chain if it gets traction but only respond if the topic gets too heated or in exceptional circumstances. This is because otherwise every thread starts demanding a response, which is impractical as the people making these decisions aren't the ones monitoring the forums.

So your best bet is to encourage people to have their say and the more that do the more likely it is to get looked into by Devs.

For my part, as a PS4 player I don't have trouble with this to the degree you do but it definitely does bug me and I'd be all for more camera options, so yeah I'm with you on this.

EDIT: just realised I was replying to a 3 year old necro'd post, so only my last paragraph was really worth typing. Yay.

I'm confused. I need to check my settings but I'm on PS4 and my camera movement different then my character movement. Like I can run in a perfect circle and my camera will not move unless I move it with the right analog stick. So I'm confused. Isn't standard more stiff then the other default option? Standard makes it so you can't run full speed in a circle cause you do some odd tank moment thing where you're locked to a view unless you turn the head. The default option on PS4 I find better cause I have complete full speed movement. Am I missing something? Someone please explain.

BUMP! The issue hasn't been addressed yet, pls dont let this thread die, i also think that if everyone makes a post about it maaaaybe square enix will do something about it

Is there actually another way to contact se and tell them about the camera?

new player here! im having this issue as well, and would love a toggle to disable the auto-adjust on the legacy camera. I found a sorta solution online... but it's only for pc! at least it illustrates the issue well.

Honestly though... i don't mind the standard camera! its just i can never see my characters face. so maybe a toggle on the standard camera to let you move the camera freely when standing still? then snap back into place when the character moves. ill be fishing with the standard camera and bump the camera stick and cancel the whole action lol.
