    AOE targetting issue since 6.0 on Gamepad

    Since 6.0 there has been an issue with targeting AOE with the gamepad. This happens off and on between certain patches and while some patches fixes this, other patches break it again. I'll post my specs and then discuss exactly what is happening.

    Windows 10
    Xbox Series S Gamepad (Extended controller support within Steam Overlay)
    FF14 Endwalker edition; Non-steam (but i use steam overlay to open it for controller support)
    Full Screen Mode / Windowed Full screen (Either has that issue)

    ISSUE:
    When an AOE target skill is used for instance when I'm in a magitek or using a spell that has an AOE, the target appears at the top of the screen and cannot be moved down. Holding was it, RT + thumbstick doesn't move the target either. (Or whatever the combo it says on-screen)

    FREQUENCY:
    It happens on some patches but not every patch has this issue. Since 6.0, this issue has come back.

    WORKAROUND:
    The only way to "workaround" this issue is to move the camera angle view to top-down and to move away from the area so the target is perfectly placed. This isn't great for high-end trials since you need precision without moving or being able to place those AOE in key locations while moving. It's a bad experience.

    Hello, I'd like to say that this works now and I'm not entirely sure why. RB + left thumbstick decided to work now and it remembers its position instead of being at the top of the screen. This worked yesterday, prior to the 6.05 patch so it's something that happened on my end. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
