The game will register the controller as a XBOX 360 controller, but it will work perfectly and you can just put the button prompts to Playstation buttons in the settings.

EDIT: If you do not own the Steam version you can still add the game as a non-steam game and use the full functionality of steams DS5 support.

>I have also tried to use Non-Steam games overlay and it just causes the PS5 Controller to not work at all rather than just bugged.

Already done this actually and it doesn't work. Just tried the DS4 tool as well, same result, doesn't work-- doesn't even register even wired in for the tool.

I thought the FFXIVteam said they would be supporting PS5 products for the game? Game runs on the PS5 from what I heard but I guess that is just backwards compatibility mode. Hopefully the FFXIVteam and look at officially supporting the controller for PC-- its flat out baffling how different the compatibility for the Duel Sense controller is VS the Duel Shock 4-- PS4 controller has more support on PC than the PS5 one out of the box.

Hopefully a proper solution can be found soon, I'd love to hear something from the FFXIVteam itself in this regard as I know I am not the only one wanting to use the PS5 controller on PC, especially for FFXIV
