Easier Crossbar & Targeting VIDEO Tutorial

[johnbeck1000]

Jonathan12uiz thanks for the great videos...i've watched all of them and I've learned quite a bit from you. I made all my classes into the changing the hot bar with a drawn weapon style. I had started playing FF14 the default way and when I switched it took a lot to change. I do have a question though...sometimes when I'm attacked by an enemy it automatically selects them so when I pull my weapon out it doesn't pull my weapon out but it zooms in the selected target and I have to remember to deselect the target and then pull my weapon out. Do you have a fix for this?

I know that the L3 button draws the weapon IF you do not have a target selected, if you have a target selected... it WILL apply LOCK-ON for the camera. I know sometimes this can be an issue, I've been looking for a workaround, but haven't found any except IF you know you will be switching to attack something... just quickly double tap "O" to cancel any selected targets...

Well, there is a solution. At the cost of one button. Just use the sheath/unsheath main action. That's what I did because I was getting crazy.

Still you didn't mention that this setting messes up with the weaver configuration! Not a big deal, one just needs to add the crafing log in the DoH action hotbar.

I haven't tried the weaver class yet... although i have it setup... but i have logs pertaining to each class always on my hotbars. ie... hunting log on battle class.. fishing log on fisher... etc.

I haven't thought about using the main action for stance... i think i will actually implement this to my R2+O crossbar because I noticed that if I am already locked onto a target, i sometimes accidentally activate that skill... which is "mark to ignore 1" lol.... my party is always like... "huh!?!?" haha

Yesterday it was a mess. I switched to CNK to do some dungeons fast (you get selected immediately as a healer) for the loot, and the new setting drove me crazy. That stupid Lock is ridiculous! Why didn't SE put a single button for sheathe/unsheathe?! I am going to write a bug report for that. And I want it on L1. Such a great job the did with the game on PS3 ruined by the most stupid things.

Yeah unfortunately lockon is attached to draw/unsheathe... I don't have too many issues with it, but I guess i trained myself to do a combination of buttons subconsciously.

Another hint: if you are in unarmed mode and get attacked just use auto-attack on the enemy and it switches to armed mode with all the most needed hotbars. My problem is that since I use mages I removed it. That's why I was doomed.

And yes, L2/R2+L1/R1 cycles through all enemies selecting them!! Another life saviour that I discovered only after 25 levels. It was simply a nightmare to switch using arrows and then X. I also tried using the arrows as in the hotbar in your video, that didn't do much. Now instead I do FATEs switching between enemies in a breeze.

It is mentioned that with 2.1 we can config the button for sheathe/unsheathe only without target-lock if we wish.
