Arrow keys to control the camera

[CeeKay]

I have a pretty good fix for this, hear me out before you boo me. =D

I too was disappointed how the controls were so different than FFXI. I found my self using the mouse sooo much in FFXIV. Than I decided to mess with the controls a bit.

I changed my camera controls to.

Move Camera Up: W
Move Camera Down: S
Move Camera Left: D
Move Camera Right: A

Movement Controls

Forward: Num8
Back: Num2
Left: Num4
Right: Num6

This wont be exactly like FFXI. For example, like how when you hit Num5 in ff11 some of the controls would change for first person view.

Ever since I switched to these controls I almost stopped using my mouse completely.
I also found new keys I never knew about, keys that are in FFXI. :x
I only had the game for about four days now, but I found this to make it sooo much better.

Just thought I would let you all know maybe you can give it a try. I find my self still going for the arrow keys while I'm engaged//fighting some mobs. BUT I'm doing it less and less, soon I wont be doing it at all. ^_^

I played FFXI with keyboard only, no game-pad. At the moment it looks like I'm going to be doing the same with FFXIV ever since I changed to these controls that I mentioned up above.

Even if these controls aren't right for you, try tweaking to your likings.
I hoped I helped some!

Good luck~
