XI's keyboard layout was so different from pretty much anything, lol. You could control your char single handed with a keyboard, but it wasn't exactly comfortable. The mouse was pretty much useless in that game. Well, I supposed mouse+keyboard could have been useful for claiming if you had like jedi reflexes or something, but other than that...

Sadly, not many people can understand it very well since they have played FFXI too much lately.

Haven't played it for over 3 years now and probably never will do it again. Still can't understand it nor do I like it.

Either way, it's not like I can't imagine any other MMO not playing like XI like some people seem to think regarding the "gamepad bunch". I have played others, and that's the only one that plays that way.

It is just a matter of preference really, which stems not from just that one game, but from having grown on consoles and not PC games. Well, at least in my case anyway.
