Controller compatibility on the PC

[SkyeWindbinder]

I'm sorry if these questions have been answered in one form or another; I can't really find too much info on the subject. But I was wondering how compatible ARR would be with the controller on the PC, if still compatable. I loves playing the later build of 1.0 with the controller, and sometimes with a mixture of the controller and the mouse (was a lifesaving combination in the Nael Van Darnus scuffle). I hope the mechanics of how it worked doesn't change too much. The controller was way better to play with than the keyboard, imo.

Yes, the controller will still be usable on the PC. It'll use the UI from the PS3.

Bad information here buddy...nowhere did it say anything about controllers only using the ps3 UI...wouldn't make sense seeing as how controllers were able to use 1.0 UI for the last 2yrs. If anything, it was stated that pc players can use either ps3 UI or the pc UI.

"The UI for using a PS3 controller or PC gamepad is completely different from the one for keyboard/mouse, right down to how the screen's set up," Yoshida explained.

I'm reading this as there'll be a "Controller UI" and "Mouse/Keyboard UI." Since the PS3 is primary with a controller, it'll use the "Controller UI." If you can find me a source that says the PC version won't be using this, by all means, correct me.

As for when we'll be getting the controller option: Beta, according to the interviews.

That's cool beans, I'm just hoping not too much changes and it runs just as well with a controller in ARR.

My dear sweet Skye, take this controller, and may your adventures in the new realm bring you happiness the way I know I do.
