Cross Bar IS NOT good!!!!!!!!!!!!

stop whining like a lil baby and learn to adapt.. the cross bar is fluid, fast, easy to learn and perfectly viable for all situations

Access to 16 skills with 1 single index and thumb. A quick bump and I have 16 more in rotation.(half second later and I can access 8 pages to pre-load from).
Making this an amazing tool once mastered. I approached with caution. But I love this thing, I can see how people will fly through commands once muscle memory kicks in.
And its easy to learn with such a minimal amount of input.

^this, quoting for justice.

FFxi and FFxiv 1.0 way of using the controller was acceptable and viable because combat was slow and sluggish, you could afford to take 2 years to choose another skill ( exaggerating ). that control scheme wont wrk in ARR combat moves at a faster pace you'll be struggling to keep up.
