What happend to optimized Keyboard and Mouse UI?

[AshelyRiot]

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

Too bad many people play with controller and I am one of them

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.

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.

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.

This one ;P It's so much more intuitive.
And remember, FFXIV is done like a console game, not like western point and click MMOs. So yeah, it does make more sense to use a controller and type with the keyboard.

I'm using a cheap 12-button piece of crap.

And there's nothing you can do about it.

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

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.

My response to that is:
