PC players: do you use your mouse to walk?

[SerMicha]

Yeah, I could see why some peeps would prefer it, but through 3 of the 4 ults and the past couple savage tiers I just never thought any movement was so hard to make me swap over. My friends give me crap for staying on standard though lmao

Iirc, FFXI was played without a mouse? Maybe holdover from that.

Yeah, hardly had to touch the mouse at all with FFXI. TBH I feel like they need to make another FF MMO as the spiritual successor to FFXI. This game doesn't really fit as a successor due to all the RPG elements trimmed out of it. FFXI was actually designed with a higher difficulty in mind to attempt encouraging players to interact with each other to work together and complete content. IMO the main thing hurting it these days is probably how dated it is since it was a PS2 era game.

FFXI is a different style from a different era. An MMO being a successor to XI would fail on the spot. Also, XI was never difficult, it was just insanely grindy.

I never touch the mouse if I can avoid it. I still use a modified FFXI keyboard layout and I walk using the number pad on a full size keyboard.

Weirdly enough FFXIV has spoiled me in which I think any new MMOs should have Gamepad functionality. I'm on PC but I don't use Keyboard/mouse but a controller instead.

However in games in which that isn't an option...I have used the mouse for running/walking if I'm feeling lazy and don't want to use my other hand.

[IkaraGreydancer]

Yeah same. I just can't use m&k. I grew up on controller so that's what I stick to.

Sounds like salt from someone that was repeatedly owned by a rabbit...

I'm a weirdo and use a PS5 controller for everything despite being on PC, I grew up on the PS3 version so it's a hard habit to kick, but just like motion controls on Switch shooters, I will eventually force myself to adjust.

I knew Vieras couldn't be trusted >:U
They look cute and gorgeous, but beneath that stone-cold face of untoucheable beauty lies a mind for murder!

I actually use both, using mouse is often nice when you have to dodge but still want to get that attack out that needs you to press 6 or 7 on the keyboard which can be really challenging even for fellas with big hands. Other than that nope who would ever torment themselves with just walking with mouse?
