Hit me with that knowledge!
Thank you for making this! Been playing the beta on xbox and loving it so far,, been looking for a good guide for crossbar ui 🙂
given i have an xbox now, this will come in handy.
Thanks for the video.
As for d-pad skills, I would buy the vader 3 pro, it's like 30-50$ on aliexpress, it has 4 back buttons and 2 extra face buttons. I like it far more than my xbox elite 2.
On PC you can use steam input (only for elite 2 wired or with dongle) or reWASD (vader 3 pro) to set really nice controller profiles,
e.g. you can map a short press to a back button for it to trigger a d-pad keystroke AND you can also add a hold function to the same button, so if you hold that button it gets a different action without triggering the d-pad keystroke.
It opens a lot of possibilities. e.g. holding that one back button changes my whole controller, Y, A, B, X etc get completely new functions without triggering their normal ones.
Consoles are more limited but still, mapping d-pad to back buttons is possible, not sure if you can use the vader 3 pro on consoles.
In general, get a controller with extra buttons, huge QoL.
Something that I learnt through various guides is that you can put macros 98 and 99 on your right and left joysticks. So I have created a macro which has sprint, peloton and mount roulette (not PvP sprint coz I prefer to use it manually) and put it on my right joystick. It was a massive upgrade coz I could remove 3 buttons from my shared Hotbars and put something more needed like chocobo commands and aether currents compass (need it as a new player) on their slots. Definitely a must have setting for controller players.
As for the mount error that pops on the screen due to the macro, if you put the commands in the order I mentioned, then the errors are drastically reduced. The downside is that you might need to hit the joystick button 3x times at worst as a class with Peloton. Been considering moving mount roulette to my left joystick as I rarely have need for sheathe/unsheathe action.
if i main astro on controller today 🎮 is cuz of you, ur the best
Hey BunBoss, found your channel through the controller guides and have stayed for various videos since. So glad to see a refresh is coming.
I’d like to see a part of the video focus on the actual location of each skill, and eg. How the rotation would flow in button presses, eg. LX, LY, LLY, LA, would make more sense than LL, RX, LLU… where the first L is trigger, and XYAB and UDLR are the buttons.
People will play with all effects turned on UNTIL they get to a Stormblood alliance raid and they cant see what's happening because of skills and spells. XD
It's MANDATORY to have a keyboard and mouse even if you play with controller. At least keyboard. You don't want to type every time with your controller. It is the most annoying thing.
Only issue I’ve had for the year I’ve played now is selecting target. I tank and it’s a little cumbersome to single target an enemy to get enmity after you ran thru and grabbed a group and there’s a straggler you need to grab
Thank you, like the new gamepad viewer.
I've been a keyboard girlie since launch, even now as I play on ps5. I want to figure controller out so bad so I can relax on my couch while I play 😂
The video we DID know we needed!
great job i do most of the things you do with the hot bars all players on controller should use the extra cross hotbars its a game changer 🙂
I just use one cross hotbar and swap between the 2-3 sets via the right bumper. Does anyone else play like this or do most controller players use the double-trigger tap style?
Is this guide different from your original guide?
I might be a bit thick, but I can not for the life of me understand the placing abilities on the 2 top hot bars, lol
New Xbox player here. This video changed everything for me. Thank you for making it. Much ❤!!
Tip for d-pad usage while moving with a larger controller like the Steam Deck where the d-pad is not close to your right thumb at all: While on the FFXIV game screen, or even in-game, open Steam's controller configuration editor and set the right touchpad as a d-pad, and each cardinal direction top, left, right, bottom, as the d-pad up, left, right, down, respectively. Make sure it's a 4-way with no overlap, to avoid accidental diagonal inputs that might trigger a different direction than the one you intend.
My personal configuration on Steam Deck, I have the right touchpad normally set as a mouse, and clicking the pad is a left-click. This way I can quickly do commendations, roll on loot while running, access my collapsible hotbars on the side of the screen where I keep things like commonly used emotes, mounts, minions, job changes, etc. But when I hold either trigger, the right touchpad changes into a d-pad. Let go of the trigger and the right touchpad goes back to being a mouse again.
This can work for other handheld PCs that don't have touchpads, but it requires some more complex configuration. I would probably recommend something like when you are holding a trigger, the right stick turns into a d-pad, and when you release the trigger the right stick goes back to being a right stick. You could also do something like making the face buttons either face buttons or a d-pad depending on if you just press them quickly, or if you hold them for ~1 second or so, or quickly double-press them, etc. This one might be ok in normal content but the harder content with tighter windows for timing of abilities, it might be a hindrance.
I literally started playing again and immediately used all your guides for my jobs and MAN you're a lifesaver dude. It makes all my jobs so much easier to play and understand with the setups of the gcd's for easy rotations.
good stuff
I started playing on xbox a couple days ago and my God the ui is confusing to navigate, this is extremely helpful though thank you
