in final fantasy 14 arr you can use keyboard and mouse to move around and everything except for battle. You can not bind keys to any actions or to any hot bars. instead you can bind keys to buttons of the controller. The beta did not suffer from this issue and you could play anyway you wanted, anytime you wanted.

I thought I could just deal with it the only problem I was having was hitting the wrong buttons every now and then and targeting issues. One issue popped up I could do nothing about. When I was in a teleport heavy fate group every once in awhile i get a msg that says would you like to be teleported to wherever. This msg pops up takes priority over everything your doing and has two options yes or no. It starts on yes. since playing on pad you press x to target and do all types of stuff. One might just hit yes, when they would really want to finish a fate quest.

Ps3 pad works for some people but it should be optional. I feel at a disadvantage having to use one.
