Easier Crossbar & Targeting VIDEO Tutorial

I wonder if you could change the function of the button...What does the "lock on target" function do anyway?

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.

Lock on, locks the camera so that you are always looking at your target. I use it a lot with my archer class, but nothing else really

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

Glad it helped. Try to utilize the L1/R1 bumper buttons to switch to the nearest enemy during fates or battles... this also helps when left and right dpad seems iffy because of the filters.

Thanks i will try that out tonight. It gets annoying at times not being able to target

Forgot to mention you need to be holding down L2 or R2 when using the L1/2 bumpers to switch enemies... It becomes second nature because you are already holding down one of the trigger buttons to perform a skill anyway.

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.

just noticed that youtube and SE are having issues with something with some of my videos... can you guys still watch this video or is it currently unavailable?
