I do not like the Cross-Hotbar at all!
I am often hesitating or activating the wrong actions. Playing more than 1-2 jobs is... @_@ such a struggle!
I really try to make my lay-out similar through-out my jobs (like my cure spells/abilities are always hold L2+O/X/triangle/square) but I often end up holding R2 by mistake and someone or myself ends up dying \(@ ;;;;; @)/ Grrrr!

I just want to be able to hold either L2 or R2 to bring up a straight hotbar, tab through the abilities by pressing/holding a button on the D-pad and press X to activate the action.

Please SE, give us the option!

Also, this is the thread I made on the subject a while back: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...No-Thanks.-%28
