After reading that section I think they should make control a bit different. There are 4 pallets (crosses), I'll number from 1 to 4 from left to right. I think crosses 2 and 3 should be controlled by the directional button and by the shape button respectfully without holding L2 or R2. We should press buttons in pallet 1 by holding L2 and using directional buttons. And should press buttons in pallet 4 by pressing holding R2 and pressing the shape buttons. To me that seems the more smooth, than holding R2 or L2 two switch from controlling 1 and 2 to 3 and 4...

Xbox 360 Controller for windows is way better in my opinion. If you want a PS3 styled Controller try the official FFXIV one.

they're usually made poort, and the wiring sometimes gets shot. I have owned 3 and won't buy it again.
The D-pad might get stuck under the plastic, sticks might be off center (in addition they have to padding to avoid slipping from sweaty hands.)

They are cheap i had two both the rubber pads got mess up in 1-2months of use The X and the d-pad rubbers. Thank god i don't toss anything out and had broken 2year old PC controller that i just use there rubber pads and it worked. But my gf controller man that one was the worth where the cable go in it starting bending and broke and the soldering where all the cable go was falling apart. it's so cheap even the drivers to make the vibration and the F-function made your computer BSOD and i think the company never fix it. Even tho you get the drivers it work fine for a few hours but then you get a BSOD and even with the drivers the F-function on the controller did not even work -.-

So just be warn you may get lucky and have it working great for a while if you don't use it as much as i me and my gf we play 8+hours everyday. But i just end up getting a xbox wire controller new in amazon for 20$ and if the rubber pads every fail there shit load of company that sell them for 1-3$

Yea the Xbox Controller is without a doubt the best out there

Take care when buying one though. Most of the ones on ebay are Chinese knockoffs, so best to buy one in person if you can or make sure it's an original if buying on-line.

Got a chinese one here as well, so far there isn't anything wrong with the controller but the RB Button doesn't feel right lol. It's about 2 months old now. So.. yea you gotta be careful!

I'm sure I won' be the first to point this out, but, could it be neither a PS3 controller nor a PC with the dev kit with a controller... but a PS4 version, and that's why they cannot disclose anything yet? If the PS4 will launch in 2013 and they announce it in the 20th, it's entirely possible that SE and Sony release the game on both PS3 and PS4 and well, on PC, but we knew that all along.

If it is the PS4 they won't be able to talk about it until Sony shows the PS4 which everyone thinks will happen on Feb 20. So let's say they had a PS4 version, they wouldn't be allowed to talk about it until after Feb 20.

That's why they aren't talking about it.
