What happend to optimized Keyboard and Mouse UI?

[Jinko]

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

Yup the only way I can see it working is if they have a completely seperate UI for mouse/keyboard set up, can't see that happening though.

LOL, they think they're done

I actually think this is a very valid question, I've been using a controller as well since it's just simply more efficient than the terrible keyboard setup they have. If they were to make a good KB/M UI I would definitely make the switch.

Once, I tried FFXI without a controller and I couldn't even figure out how to move my character. It was unplayable for me.
FFXIV's a bit easier.. I could at least move and attack better than most MMOs. Still able to do things faster with a controller though. Always been a console gamer.

Also, an old injury in my hand makes it too hard to play with mouse and keyboard for more than about 2 hours without severe pain. :\

I'm not really against controllers... I'm just against optimizing controls for controllers, especially when most of the MMO market is ON THE PC.

Also, I wonder how hard it would be to code in to have PS3 and PC versions have different UI/control setups... is it even possible? Just a thought.

I've wondered that myself. I'd really like to see an option to choose, and let players pick whichever they want, regardless of what system they're on (the PS3 can rock a mouse and keyboard too, after all!).
