Ignore it. As it pertains to this game, PS4 = PC. Anyone thinking otherwise is only deluding themselves. Let them live in their fantasy world.

I'm on PC and always thought controller play would reduce reaction time. Theeeeen I started using a controller on PC and my reaction time went up with my abilities being all in easy reach.
So this guy probably didn't know what he was talking about.
anything u can do with a controller, u can do with a keyboard. (when it comes to abilities)
L and R buttons act as modifiers.
You have L, R, L>R, R>L
4 modifiers, for 8 buttons.
Then double tap is LL and RR, another 8 each.
For PC you have CNTRL, ALT, and SHIFT (C,A,S for short)
So you have C, A, S, C+A, C+S, A+S. most people use 1-4 easily. (I dont) you also have ~ for PC users, which is easy to hit next to 1.
replacements for L3, R3, and touch pad can be just about anything. tab, q, e, r, f, z, x, c, etc.
I dont remember if it allows triple modifiers like some MMOs, such as C+A+S.
I personally use the ASDW side as the left side of a controller, and the num pad as the right side of a controller.
It has all the same amount of buttons, plus more.
the only exception is that the Dpad replacement is harder to get used to, and arrows on the right side as a less comfy version of a thumb stick.
(but i prefer the amount of buttons over the controller)


I know, I was KB/M for years and am strictly such in other games but this game has so many abilities and I have tiny hands so reaching is an issue for FFXIV when it isn't for other games. Comfortably reaching, anyway.anything u can do with a controller, u can do with a keyboard. (when it comes to abilities)

Targetting takes the most getting used to, otherwise I am finding controller better for my hands.
It also helps that FFXIV was actually made with controllers in mind so they're not just an after thought.
