I played FFXI religiously on the PS2 ages ago (my god I was just a baby) and was very fluid with the targeting/battle system on the controller.

I've found that when I enter a fate in FFXIV, though, it's REALLY hard for me to target the main enemy. Particularly with the bobombs (sp?). I can target all the smaller ones but I will sit there, patiently cycling through enemies constantly getting, "the target is not close enough" and I end up hardly even participating in the fate. Are there any solutions to just quick targeting the closest enemy or maybe even just finding a way to point and click with the controller?

I'll be getting a usb keyboard (tomorrow hopefully) so this may change it, but is there something I'm missing?
