    XI controls

    XI controls please. No target filters or any other stuff. Tabbing through pc/npc alike. arrow keys for menus and inventory. No mouse or gamepad needed, just a keyboard. An option for simple, FFXI controls. Please.

    I haven't played with the settings yet but I thought there might be a way to play with the target settings to achieve this. I guess not. I would like to at least be able to target anything or anyone I want with the exception of damn carbuncle. Stupid carbuncle.

    Idk. I've modified all my keybindings to closely match how I played on FFXI, to the point where the only time I have to use a mouse is to refocus windows when I try to chat. I very rarely need to use a mouse.

    But what's odd is that I altered my targetting keybindings to Q and E and I cannot target other carbuncles with what I had setup. It's to the point where I want to target carby sometimes so I can actually heal it, but cant.

    Not in the game now, but I can follow up post on my settings if you like.

    I would actually, if you don't mind. I'm sure there's a reason they haven't implemented it yet. I know they're goin after casuals used to other MMOs' controls but there's a huge XI base that's used to things the way they were. And XI controls were absolutely perfect in my opinion.

    I 3rd this - that the only thing I really miss from XI is the controls. I've tried setting up my keyboard to feel more comfortable like it was in XI, but wasn't working out to well - which forces me to use the mouse more then I should be I'm sure.

    Is it just me or was tabbing through enemies in FFXI a lot more reliable than FFXIV? It frustrates me sometimes that if I'm tabbing through enemies around me that it'll often not target the stuff closest to me and sometimes go for something waaaay off to the side or in the distance before targeting something else which is much closer.

    I've also tried to set up my keybindings so that I only have to use the keyboard. I'm having moderate success at this.

    I still have to use the mouse to move crap between my retainer and my inventory, mainly because I can't figure out what setting is the one for moving to the next tab of the inventory.

    I also have some serious issues with targeting. It seems to want to target the farthest freaking thing from me, unless I rotate the camera a certain way.

    I'm probably missing something obvious, but the way they describe some functions in the keybinding settings, it's not always clear what they're referring to ><

    Everyone thought paid retainers and fantasia would be the end of it.
    You were warned.
