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 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.

lol, I'm glad I'm not the only one who's rather confused at this moment.

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

Now see, you must understand, I understand your opinion and I respect your ability to stand by it.

However, as we speak now, the Development Team is working keeping the controller in mind, and not the keyboard. Ergo, they are on my side and not yours. There's nothing you can do about it.

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!).
