Too many clicks!

I have a controller attached to my PC for two purposes - retainers and fishing. The same retainer menus that are tedious and annoying on KBM simply fly through with the controller, to the point where the messages have to flash for 20 seconds on the screen afterward because I went so much faster than they would display. (I also tried using the controller for gathering, but when flying between nodes it feels more efficient to KBM after all....)

It's a reminder that this game was built to be accessible by console players, and a lot of UI decisions are made for them, not for the PC players.

I'll blame consoles for that partially.



I tried FF11 and managed to get it to download, get through the Playonline nonsense but the menu and control system is a terrible. You can tell it used to be a console game. Instead of new content they should be refing the menu and control for modern PCs. I'd wager they would get more players.

Probably my favourite feature of ShB is the light menu option.

Yea it was designed initially for the PS2 it was out for a year in Japan before they ported over to PC later. Just like FFXIV it is designed around the console.

ALthough to give credit to FFXI it was available on PS, XbOX 360, and PC so it did have that going for it.

I'm going to tag on a "Repair All" & "Tend all crops" plea to this "To many click" post.
