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~

I would really like to see this happen and at the same time allow for the left and right arrow keys to scroll up and down by pages when looking through menus such as inventory or market searches.
