Binomial Nomenclature and /tell /target commands

I hope not everything is point and click, I havent used kb mouse in 7 years on an MMO i dont intend to use one now. In other words I hope the ps3 version has a way to maybe hit square to open the log and select a name with the dpad.

You'd be one of the few. One of the reasons most UI functionalities in most PC software today utilize the mouse is ebcause it is an easy and intuitive to use input device. Virtually all MMOs outside of FFXI were primarily played with keyboard and mouse.

That being said, i'm sure there will be a hotkey for it or something that you can bind to a button. I'm rather curious how you typed in people's names for tells in FFXI without a keyboard.

Gamepad users may be more common in Japan*, so SE probably has that extra challenge when developing any new game systems. But of course keyboards are used when chatting.

* Not scientific by any means, but one night while talking with the LS about alpha being keyboard-only we realized that all 12-or-so of us online at the time were using gamepads.
