I'm not Smashington, but I just tried both Targeting Mode A, and Targeting Mode B, and neither allow Up/Down targeting during the "Select a target." window.


To replicate:
- Place Cure on your action bar.
- Hit the key corresponding to Cure.
- You are asked to select a target.
- Try your Up/Down arrow keys.
- Nothing happens.




In Target Mode A, up/down targets PT members, but not when selecting a target for a spell.

In Target Mode B, up/down changes targeting parameter instead, and does nothing when selecting a target for a spell.


At the very least, this will have to be improved before the PS3 launch, but the sooner it can be addressed, the better.
Left/Right targeting is ineffective with moving targets- up/down using the party list order allows players to quickly and accurately react.


See FFXI's controller/gamepad targeting for reference ._.
