My feelings on controller usage: First redesign the ui, a layout for keyboard users, a layout for controller users. Second, when in battle instead of having to scroll through your actions to select them map them to keys. Ie triangle=action one, etc... more or less somewhat similar to dragon age system. You would get 4 action keys, press the right and left shoulder buttons for a second and third selection of 4 more each, this would be better imo( I often skip over the wrong action when fighting). Have two controller layouts, like you did in xi sorta, one for combat one for world map. A gathering/synth keybind would be nice as well. Yes an item use key also needs on that list. Over all... I hate using mouse and keyboard, especially for casters. But there needs to be more functionality for controller users.
