Hey! I get a bunch of comments each stream about being a clicker and raiding or healing in FFXIV and it gets a little tiring to answer, so I thought it would be nice to have a video up that I can quickly refer them to (∩´∀｀)∩
It’s all in good fun. I understand people might disagree and argue that keybinding is objectively better. If you are comfortable clicking/keybinding/playing on a controller that’s all that matters.
Shout out to my viewers who taught me how to pronounce “simultaneously”.
My name is Nana and I’m a FFXIV relapsed addi- uh, returning player. Currently trying to catch up and clear all of Eden Savage on min ilvl. come join me!:

my friends all said clicking is inefficient as well but idc i find it comfortable to play that way as well. cause my fingers are short D:
I use the number keys 1-6 but beyond that I just click.
If the anime girl said so it must be true
i use a controller. does that count and clicking? <,<
I am also mostly a clicker. I use like the 1-4 keys if needed at most, usually for mouseover healing skills. I also raid in savage and ultimate, and never thought anything was wrong until keybind people were like "omg how do you not clip your gcds etc". I thought clicking was a normal way to play x.x
how do you pay attentinon to the fight when you constantly have to look at your hotbar and aim your mouse correctly? even tho i struggle to reach further than the 4 button (5 is a big hurtful spread and i physically can not reach 6 while holding a movment button) and using shift or control is really uncomfortable to the point it hurts, i still cant imagine managing clicking while fighting and all. im new fo ff14, i come from guild wars 2 where you only have 10-12 buttons on every class, so i never had a problem binding them comfortably. but now in ff14 im really struggeling with small hands and 30+ buttons on every class
maybe im not built for this game lol.
I thought this was normal…..
Clicking is fine if you know what your doing and can manage it. I don’t get the hate for it. To each their own when it comes to how you play.
Plus it’s a game, it’s not like every player makes the game their life and has the need to feel perfect at it. Most people just want to play to enjoy the game.
I do hybrid mouse clicks and keybinds but I have clicky keys on my keyboard am I allowed?
You people are playing with keyboards and a mouse?
Same
Ahahahaaha whole mood!
I don't click most of the time but for my opener I click every ability in order makes it come out fast n easy
I can recommend a controller + mouse. Really comfy. My wrist gets tired if on keyboard for long hours.
I am confused as a controller user.
What about controllers?
I'm a clicker too!
it totally just depends on what job you play, something like a white mage you have very little ogcds and therefore no need to constantly click fast, it just means you're not able to choose players in your party list to heal until you're doing clicking the abilities, can cause clipping on the gcd etc. If you play something like scholar or astro your damage overall will suffer a LOT without keybinds. If you focus solely on not clipping, you'll then probably start panicking about mechanics due to the fact you're going a hundred miles an hour on your mouse to try not to clip.
Lol, laughs at clickers and keybinders in controller.
Feel better now.
I honestly don't understand clickers at all, the mentality of clickers telling me it's efficient just boggles me, but that's my opinion and I'll still play with clickers regardless.
typical youtube. just in it for the "clicks"…….my work here is done
I used to be a clicker till I was 16 (26 now) but once I got a Razer Naga that changed. I can't even fathom how clickers do it anymore.
I mean, im a clicker since every job plays differently and i dont feel like remembering every job's key bind
As long as my hotbar is well set up I can double weave with no drop time while moving so I click.
I played SCH during Heavensward. Back then, I had a macro that, when pressed, would turn Cleric Stance on and replace my first hotbar (which is full of healing skills) with my 4th hotbar (which is full of dps skills). Then the 4th hotbar would have a button (at the same position as the CS macro) that would turn CS off and switch back to the first hotbar. With SB and ShB there was no need to do that anymore. What I'm trying to say is, healers are too easy and you can play a healer by clicking skills currently, although I would recommend having buttons for at least your dps skills. The rest you only use once in a blue moon anyway.
I play with a controller and I don’t know if people consider that to be bad or not
I'm a dude with small-ish hands, I can't reach 5 without stretching my index finger and lifting my hand a bit, and yet I have over 30 keybinds in such a way that I barely have to move it; and no, I don't have a gaming mouse. Not to mention, I never fell off the arena because I was walking the other direction :/
Back in the olden WoW days I used to click buffs and I can safely say, you will be way more efficient and pretty much remove any delay or mishaps (I should probably move Superbolide).
The full pro experience is to play ultimate raids by only clicking your hotbars
If I didn’t have my mmo mouse, I’d probably click.
a pleb clicker
never met someone with smaller hands than me and i also just use few keybinds on my keyboard because otherwise id have to stretch my hands way too much. so lucky my mouse got a lot buttons lol
handsize doesnt matter, proven by piano players for years,
that being said you play good for a clicker!
i have big hands but am still a clicker !
Thank you for representing us for being fellow clickerss
Go actually play ninja this way and see
i get this lol, i get weird responses when i tell people i play with controller on pc
Bought an mmo mouse. Hand is too small to use it. Thumb can only reach bottom row. So it's back to clicking for me.
Just use a controller. ^.-
yup i do 1 2 3 4 rest is clicks 2 button on mouse and it hurts my hand to use ctrl and alt, but it s ok i can play perfectly fine… if only my character could stop running toward the boss while i m trying to dps and move at the same time
I am right there with you, the only things I do not click are true north, sprint, and arms length because those are actions that I need to quickly activate. I click everything else and have cleared all 3 ultimate's as well as parsed all orange's for the previous tier. Just get good at whatever playstyle you enjoy.
Joke's on them, I set up my buttons to be most efficient for me to click rather than reach across my keyboard for.
My hands aren't even small and it's still a challenge to do some binds.
lol can’t relate
I got friend to clicks their skills too xD nothing wrong with it XD
Your voice range is incredible
I need to be able to stay in your streams longer but some times I work when you're live 
i see crazy panda lady i click O_O
