So which is better, Mouse/KB or PC Controller/KB? I played on the 360 and I didnt really like the controller set up, want to see what you guys perfer to play it with, and if it hinders or helps your in-game performance.

I play with a controller. I have it setup how I want so it's fine with me. Some like the keyboard, some like the controller, and I don't even know if anyone likes using the mouse.
To be the best, you must help each other become the best.

yea keyboard for me even though I dont play anymore,its so much better imo, you rarely use the mouse, most targeting is done with tab , enter, and F keys, when you get used to it. its much better then -wasd- for that type of game.
controller is ok but keyboard is better.
I've always said it really depends on what the user is most comfortable with. FFXI has built in controller support so being a console baby, by which I mean I played consoles as a kid and only PC games as an adult, using a controller is just a lot easier.
FFXI was my first 'real' MMO, I actually started with GW but I don't really count it because I only played for so long and it wasn't that hard for me. FFXI had such a hard learning curve, I started using a keyboard and mouse combo and was always late with skillchains and generally anything. When I bought my PC controller and set it up I saw an immediate improvement.
But some people just don't like the controller and vow that the keyboard is superior.. Whatever works for you.

Alright, I got it for xbox, so Ima try it on that again :P and have it installed on my pc if I feel like that. Was wondering for my friend, incase he needed/would be better off with a PC controller.

Keyboard imo ... I even use a keyboard on my 360. Drop the mouse though ... it is worthless and is aweful to try and use.
The mouse+KB is the best and most efficient way to play,anything else may be comfortable but is not the best way.Controllers make you scroll to your destination,where as a mouse and keyboard allows instant access to any macro at any time.The difference can be minimal on most situations,but playing a job that needs fast access such as a healer,you need to be fast.I guess there could be a way to set your controller to instantly access STUN witch is another spell/ability/ws that could be needed quickly.In most cases ,anything that may be needed fast can be waited/sat on but for healing cases,you may need to be faster than taking your time to scroll to the one you want.
