Battle Command Design -PLEASE FIX IT

[Lacavi]

Personally, I don't see how they could do a menu system in this game unless they fix the menu system to be much more fluid. That's the only reason it worked in FFXI, if you hit down, it was down, if you hit right, it scrolled the page. It was smooth, quick, and shiny.

The current menu system takes too long to respond to do this correctly, and what I end up doing is just macroing everything I can't fit on my first bar and go from there. Scrolling through even the action bar is clunky, even with the shift key.

Ehm...you DO realize many, many people play this game with...a mouse and a keyboard?
*pause to let you recover from the shock*
And guess what - the action bar is the best thing a keyboard & mouse player can have!
Sure, the UI can be adjusted depending on how you play, but making 2 so entirely different versions is just stupid.
Deal with it, it's not like it's hard to select commands with a controller.

Why? Just make a new battle menu with the existing system. So you can find your equiped spells, skills and abilities listed in Magic; Skills; Abilities; Items - as we know it from every other Final Fantasy title. They are making a different UI for gamepad users anyway.

Would make me VERY happy!

I still dont know how they want to do it when the cap rises. Make a fourth action bar line?
