    Don't you love tab-targeting in this game?

    Of course I am being sarcastic with the title.

    Made a video: http://youtu.be/lZ5Flfq84NQ
    for bug report here: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...68#post1240868

    I would appreciate if you could contribute your experience to this bug report and increase it's chances to be looked into.

    Made another one: http://youtu.be/Rm0IAQV7HkM
    and a bug report: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...-small-objects.

    I am sure there are plenty of other aspects to tab targeting working well, but this would be a start at least.

    Yeah I find it crazy annoying that if it moves even a little out of LoS it prevents you from tabbing to it.... BUT you can tab target and target something off a cliff like in darkhold. *sigh*

    My favorite is when I am doing a speed run in AK after the second boss and instead of targeting mobs 5 feet infront of me it targets something on the first floor, 50+ feet behind me.

    The fun part is - it is not actually in LoS it is just obstructed from your screen, but the character has straight visibility of the target and can execute actions.

    I wish it take priority that it Target the closest monster first, instead of randomly everywhere, there is many time in Dungeon and Fate it would Target the mob all the way in the back. Then there is time, it take literally minutes to target the summon bells when I stand right next to it.

    As a workaround, instead of targeting the bell, target someone standing next to the bell, then select their target (which is probably the bell). Then activate the bell (numpad 0 for PC). Maybe you can create a macro to target and activate the bell, too.

    Targeting needs to be updated to select the nearest enemy in front of me, or the enemy closest to where I'm looking, instead of targeting whatever it feels like.

    When I go as a healer into fates, sometimes I end up watching people die because it takes too long to target them.
    Sometimes I use activate instead of targeting things first. That backfires occasionally when my miner attacks the nearest enemy with a pick instead of mining the nearest node. Probably the game could assume that I don't want to attack peaceful enemies with a pick when selecting a target.

    Press F12 to target nearest npc. Unless there are minions everywhere then good luck. Use the numpad 4 and 6.
    There are loads of targeting options in this game that I had no idea existed until I looked at keybindings.

    Yes. It is the worst tab-targetting AI I've seen.

    In complete agreement. I mean, I'm fighting this worm drake down in the deserts of South Thanalan right? I tab target to the next mob that's standing right next to me breathing fire and crap. Getting a bit crispy. Fun stuff. But do I target him? Nooooo.
    Instead, I've got the MOON highlighted. It's in ORBIT. WHY?! I'm pretty sure I can't reach it. Maybe if I level Dragoon to infinity and use Jump.
