Can someone explain to me how the controls are and what will be so bad about them?
Comments
omfg u should see them..
w moves left
a moves forward
s makes you do a pirouette
d is right and backwards at the same time
when you click something with the mouse, your character dies and you have to make a new one, it's unavoidable
and that's how it's gonna stay up until the release too.
WASD moves your character, and the arrow keys moves the camera currently. It's a little choppy, but still beta.
What irks me is the mouse is still horribly ported to the point that it's almost not useful to use, just like FFXI.
As someone who will be using a controller... i thoroughly approve.
Well that seals the deal for me i will not be getting it. No mouse = no play.
Yep, and to top if off the whole game is only one area and the level cap is only 30!
This is the most horrible retail version I've ever played.
I hate to ask, but umad?
No im not mad at all, i simply prefer to play mmo's with my keyboard ans mouse. Im dissapointed because this game really looked interesting to me but ill just have to wait for something else. No harm no foul.
Doesn't anyone have anything like "omg you are not gonna believe how cool this is or how fun that is" anymore for an MMO?
Sad sad days of launch anticipation.
Just a little bit of sarcasm to end the day my friend.
How about maybe posting something helpful, Hyanmen, geez.
Anyway...
I just looked at a image of the key layouts and based off what I heard from beta testers, The keyboard+mouse is playable but sucks compared to using a controller.
I can see me using a controller for this... only using the keyborad to chat with.
You all know you will see Hyanmen trolling after typing ffxiv .
Oh wait i just did the same thing, hello there
Im not even gonna comment on Hyanmen, seems pointless.
Im pretty sure you can play with "keyboard only" after release if they follow the FFXI system, beta controls are just " unfinished" atm.All they have to do is move camera to the arrows keys like on FFXI and bingo, no need to use mouse at all.Im pretty sure you can enjoy it once its actually finished , and thank you for not trolling like everyone else, im pretty sure SE wont disapoint at release since the game is quickly fixing this small isues with every patch before every new beta day.
Basing that on info you hear about a beta from a game still 2 months from release? Kinda why they do NOT want info leaked, because people start making all kind of (usually bad) assumptions.
Why not wait till like a week before release, hell, even till after release, and make a decent judgement on the state of the game then. Sure there might be control issues now with keyboard/mouse, but there's no telling how/if it will change at this point.
For sure i agree with that im gonna wait and see what happens.
It's not quite that bad......but pretty damn close.

I was playing Immortals Online the F2P game and they did a beta and had no wasd and a bunch of other stuff if they can fix the problem quick like they did I am sure SE will not have an issue fixing it. The problem I see is that PS3 does not have a mouse that they use, so they will have 2 different games and I guess they do not want to worry about that hence why they went with what they had. Was it smart of the? Probably not since there is a large PC group that will be playing the game and have been complaining about this since FFXI was doing the same thing with there bad k+m support. I don't know I just hope they implement it better so that it will be fun for those of us who like K+M, while I try to do very little with the mouse, when I navigate menu's and inventory and stuff I want to be able to just point an click.
Use a controller, easy.
Its only easy if you like to use a controller, which i for one do not, hence why i have a pc and not an xbox or playstation.
About 58 days to go – sure hope something magical occurs during beta.
As a left handed mouse user I am going to be kind of screwed if they only get as far as FF11 controls on Kb+M. Wrapping my brain around using WASD navigation with my left hand and numpad for camera is uncomfortable, if possible at all.
I had to stop playing 11 because of controls. Didn’t want to, but it wasn’t fun or comfortable to move or look. Damn the ~10% of us lefthanders. Suppose I can try to figure out a controller on a MMO, doubtful though. Ugh the agony of compromise!
Maybe I can petition Obama to engage Square (NA) and issue a presidential command that they must properly support lefties in FF14 so he can play? Hmm…
I am a very uncoordinated person. FFXI became second nature after awhile. I never used a controler and probably never will. Hell we even had to make our own macro commands for hotkeys. All you people who do nothing but complain may want to take a break from gaming for a bit... you are starting to act entitled. Play what they have to offer or don't. This endless bitching about games is a good waste of interweb. The only good it does for these threads to keep going is MMORPG gets the traffic and the money from adverts.
Actually it sounds a bit better than FFXI was, any that wasn't that bad. If anything it was just a shock to the system to break away from the usualy control configuration. Once I got use to it the key strokes I use in other games. I can't speak on "controllers" I never use them. But from what I know of what they had and are going to it's not the chicken little that some folks might make it out to be.

Hats off to you good sir.
If a company is going to make a PC version of their game people who want to play their game on the PC have every right to provide feedback on how they would improve controls for PC without people trolling them (and please no "posting on the boards isn't feedback to S-E," it's a forum for communication which can indirectly lead to someone relaying that information to S-E).
From what I've seen in the last few months, FFXIV has probably the meanest community ever. Literally it's as bad as the Aion pvp community.
So some people want to see improved controls for mouse and keyboard? So what? Big deal, if you play on a controller and don't plan on using mouse or keyboard then you have no reason to weigh in on the PC-users feedback, especially in a mean-hearted way.
Better for you might be worse for me. Who is right? Nobody is right. There is no right it. You can always remap your keyboard or use a contoller. I know people are put off by the way you open menues and select some actions or options but thats how FF series have been. I was not saying to not post feedback but how can most of these senseless threads be taken seriously? I come to forums of all types(not just game forums) for info and mostly get very little of it after having to sift through the mess of epeen clashes and sensless comments.
