7.1 Gpose Camera Changes - Please revert/add a toggle!

[Iscah]

it's a bit like if they'd locked in inverted controls for some people with it being forced to always being like this.

Inverted controls is a great comparison – if a game forces the "wrong" way around for my usual preference, I can fumble my way through but it doesn't feel natural and may cause some gameplay fails along the way.

I was trying to use the new Gpose controls earlier tonight and it has the same sort of feeling. A simple task (move the camera X amount to the right within the portrait framing) has been turned from a simple instinctive movement to several frustrated back-and-forths, wrong angle, wrong axis of movement, to arrive at somewhere close to what I was after.

I have to admit this was the weirdest change.

This isn't even an "Oh, it's just different now" type of complaint. It's just contrary to how camera controls should work in general. FFXIV isn't the only game with a posing tool and I can't think of any others that decided to implement unintuitive controls like this.

Decided to pop into gpose for the first time since the update, and then basically ran to the forums to see if anyone else despised the new camera changes. I've been using the camera in this game for years with no issue, and I do not like or appreciate this, at all. Why even change it, at least without a toggle? I hope they fix it, it really killed my desire to take pictures in game.

This change is not only frustrating but might also rank among the most irritating updates I've encountered.
Altering the control scheme for a substantial user base without providing an option to revert to the original settings is problematic. Many users, including myself, have grown accustomed to the previous controls, which have now been rendered obsolete by this update.

Let's take a flight simulator as example where players have spent years mastering the intuitive controls that allowed for precise maneuvers. If the developers suddenly decided to invert the pitch control (where pulling back on the stick now makes the plane dive, and pushing forward makes it climb), without offering a way to revert to the familiar setup, this would be akin to what's happening here.

What happened to the Quality control in this game?

This change is really bad, makes it almost impossible to take a good shot without 3rd party tools

I never write on the forums but I had to for this change.
It is bad, just a few seconds and I'm feeling ill with the camera movements. Please reverse this SE, this is NOT the way.

Also chiming in for the first time.
If it can't be reversed, at the very least a toggle for a Legacy Gpose camera would be acceptable.
This new camera control is not intuitive, at least not for me. Figured out holding my controller vertical helps a bit but that's a silly solution lol.

Lending my voice to the chorus - I'm an avid gposer; looking at my folder right now on my server, I've got over 200 gigabytes of shots and clips and portraits dating all the way back to 2017. I understand some people might find this input method better, but the fact that there ISN'T a toggle for this is mindmeltingly boggling. You've forced inverted controls on us for a reason most of us weren't even asking for - and while it may be a pain on M/K, it's a nightmare on controller.

Please, PLEASE give us a toggle.

I guess I wouldn't be against a toggle but this is definitely just a "change bad" scenario, the new controls feel way more intuitive than WASD being entirely fucked up if you change the angle
