I've been here since launch too and always used gamepad for this game, using the gamepad only is a bit difficult because all the lag the system has, but i dont have much trouble im ussually holding the gamepad in my left hand for moving and clicking on actions via keyboard and to toggle the other bars i use the gamepad, i feel like im using some kind of mouse lol, in FF XI i only used gamepad but that game was designed like that, if they improve the lag in the action bar and put the 3 bars visible would be better so u can see all the time what u have rdy without scrolling
