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

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

    7.1 Patch Notes: When adjusting roll angle settings, camera tilt and panning are now tied to roll angle settings by default.
    Hello, I am currently a player on Final Fantasy XIV playing on the Garuda DC and Korea server. A few weeks ago, the 7.1 patch was applied to the Korea server, and due to the modified Gpose camera settings, I experience severe 3D motion sickness every time I use Gpose.

    The new gpose camera changes now make taking vertical images feel VERY confusing, uncomfortable and unintuitive. Now, panning with WASD and tilting the camera with your mouse is anchored to your monitor's up/down/left/right even though the game's world/camera is rotated 90 degrees for vertical shots.

    TL;DR: It’s NOT intuitive to link gpose camera controls to the roll angle, because when we gpose vertically, our brains adjust to the character/world as being upright, and not the top of our monitors

    Please add a toggle setting so we can go back to how it was before!

    Here's a graphic I made to explain the frustration:

    Please revert this change or add a toggle setting so we can go back to how it was before!

    I really thought I'd get used to the changes in time, but months later, I still find myself constantly rotating the camera the wrong direction... Confusing, uncomfortable and unintuitive is right.

    I really appreciate that the devs thought this change would help, but for me and for many other people I've heard from, it just hasn't. A toggle would be a perfect solution.
