/target npc should target the nearest mob, not the mob nearest to the center of your screen.

I don't want to use macros to heal specific members. Macros are not reliable, perhaps because of server-side authentication. I want to cue my Cure spell then select them from the party list using UP/DOWN on the D-pad.

The squeekiest wheel gets the grease, right? So I can't just stop repeating myself.

The problem I see is that the players who won't play FFXIV because the targeting sucks have just moved on. They don't care if FFXIV lives or dies. The only players left playing are just determined to have fun playing FFXIV. They have accepted the crap targeting system long ago.

For those that have already given up on having a real targeting system and are willing to just play a sub-par game, I'm sure that content is more important.

I clearly don't speak for the majority of players or there would be "targeting is crap" threads all time (Oh, wait). But I do speak for 100% of PS3 players who will be forced to use a controller.

We need a functional /assist command.

I won't be playing FFXIV until this is fixed. It's not fun.
Did you know you CAN use the Up/Down to target party members? For heals, buffs and ect.. The targeting is so easy and simple to use. When was the last time you played the game? To use the Up/Down taget anything with your spell and use the up/down to go through the party list. Simple and easy, Well i guess not easy for everyone.
