Will gamepad function the same in ARR?

[Skies]

The controller UI was in the blog pics. It looked like you had 3 sets of 4 buttons. I am guessing the 4 face buttons on a PS controller and L2 and R2 switch between your other button sets.

Probably will control different then 1.0 since its almost a total redesign.

In one of the many interviews Yoshida mentioned how the Cross Hotbar works. Essentially if you press one of the trigger buttons, it brings up the hotbar, when it's up if you press the corresponding button (arrows, triangle, square, circle, x) you execute that command. Each different trigger button also brings up a different hotbar so with two button presses you execute a command. There is also a button to cycle through bars if i'm not wrong.

This gives you access, at minimum, 16 different actions with the press of two buttons that are very comfortably placed.
