What happend to optimized Keyboard and Mouse UI?

I'm using a controller.

If you haven't tried controller, TRY IT. It is so much easier and more intuitive to play with. I played mouse and keyboard for the first 4 months, after that I started using a PS2 controller I picked up and wow it is so much better. I will admit I still grab the mouse for a quick click now and then if I want to target something, but not often.

I am in favor of a system in which people must learn to suck it up instead of just plain sucking.

My response to that is:

I am in favor of better mouse controls

I am in favor of better keyboard controls

I am strongly against controller even being an option

I am strongly against sad pathetic people who still use the controller

I am strongly against any development time invested in improvements for controller controls

I am in favor of you trying a controller.

I am strongly against you posting about controllers until you have used one in FFXIV.

I use the controller exclusively except for typing messages. I do not think I could stand to play it with mouse and keyboard.

I use a wired 360 controller since at launch that was the only way the UI made any sort of sense. Since I have to sit at my computer all day anyways using the mouse I find the controller is also a nice way to help with the Repetition Stress Injury and soreness my wrist gets from moving the mouse around all the time.

I would still like to see the Keyboard / Mouse controls fixed.

Now if only I could get the 360 Chatpad to work in windows 7.

Done right, yes, a mouse and keyboard would be far better than a controller, as is the case with any MMO or FPS. I'm not sure why SE doesn't just create two optimized setups, instead of this awkward in between we have.

it seems to me that the entire game is made to accommodate the limitations of the gamepad. i really do believe that the lag between queuing up an ability and actually using it is there for just such things. yes this game will be on the PS3. but the fact that they made the game on PC first should warrant more attention to keyboard and mouse configurations. not trying to be hostile or anything thats just what i believe. since they had already announced this KB/M friendly UI i'm just wondering where it is exactly. as far is development and implementation. just an update to let us know they are still working on it or something. also it'd be nice if there more posts in this thread in support of KB/M friendly UI so they know we want it.

I'd also like to see further improvements to the usability of mouse and keyboard. My arthritis prevents me from using a game controller (my hands are about 50 years older than the rest of me), which is why I don't play on a console. Having UI options that are optimized for my PC setup would be nice.

Still on the to do list but I still don't see how it could be implemented in XIV.
