    As I'll keep saying, this is a PC-related problem because default controller drivers, DirectInput specifically, treat Triggers as a Single Axis. I am fully aware that when using XInput, or the PlayStation 3 equivalent of such drivers, triggers are able to be used independently. A fix to one platform does not fix the other.

    What the hell are you talking about? Seriously. You make no sense at all. The point here is to make the game more comfortable for pad users. It is entirely possible on the PS3... and from what you're saying, it is possible on the PC with the use of a 3rd party program. Which is mostly irrelevant because the majority of PC users are playing with mouse and keyboard. So why are you even arguing? What is your point? That PC players would have to download a 3rd party program to make use of this? Because of that, this feature shouldn't be added?

    All I'm saying, is that I believe it to be highly unlikely that Square Enix would implement a feature in the game that is not natively available to all users. I play on the PC using a gamepad occasionally and am in full support of this feature. I'm simply noting my speculation on this feature being implemented in the near future.

    It is perfectly available natively on pc. Every single multi-platform game released on pc can use both triggers at the same time. If you actually care to look at the actual DirectX API, it has no restriction on shoulder buttons. That kind of restriction would be silly, and violates the very design standard Microsoft has dictated for 360/Windows.

    The only time the triggers don't work at the same time, is if you have really bad drivers for your gamepad, or a terribly designed gamepad by a sub-par manufacturer. Even the 3rd party drivers for my PS3 controller can use both triggers at the same time without problems.

    Direct input? People still use that? I dont think any new games out officially support direct input anymore. Most just support xinput directly if they allow controllers at all. Besides, Direct input triggers arent even sliders. They're buttons too. Only xinput is sliders for triggers (and ps3 controllers obviously).
