dev1035 - Targeting Mode Discussion

[Betelgeuzah]

As a reminder:

[dev1035] Improvement of Targeting Modes

* Targeting Mode A (Targeting mode before the patch 1.16)

Target/Menu Navigation Keys and Corresponding Actions

o Up/Down
Target party members in order
o Left/Right
Cycle through all selectable targets

* Selecting Targeting Mode A set the Targeting Mode to "ALL."

* Targeting Mode B (Targeting mode after the patch 1.16)

Target/Menu Navigation Keys and Corresponding Actions

o Up/Down
Cycle through targeting modes
o Left/Right
Cycle through valid targets, according to the targeting mode currently selected, in order

* Selecting Targeting Mode B will disable Targeting Mode "ALL."

So, as for Targeting Mode A I would suggest what was said before, that when cycling Left/Right you would only cycle through enemies, not all selectable targets.

As for Targeting Mode B, I would suggest that the cycling through targeting modes happens by pressing a combination of two buttons (for example square + up or down). Further, pressing only Up/Down would for example target other PC's when the targeting mode is set to [Player], while Left/Right would target friendly NPC's.

But I just threw these out here, so more discussion regarding the new devtag can be discussed here.

Would it be feasible to reverse the order of targeting/ability selection?
If you select the ability first, then the target for it, it would be rather easy to have the game automatically switch to the appropriate targeting mode, making this whole switching mechanic unneccessary.
