Thank you so much, I recently had to pick it up on console again after my computer died and I was really saddened that I struggled so hard with controller, but this has really helped me get back into it in no time!

Thank you so much for those controller guides, I rebought the game on PS5 and this was really useful to get me started. I realize that you quit the game a year ago but know that all the work you put in making those is really appreciated.

i just gotta say.... you're controller guides have been such a big help over the last X amount of years. Looking back my controller setup has really grown in to my own and it's extremely comfortable.

Rule of thumb for all classes on controller:

Long cooldowns I set to double taps, always. Buttons I’ll use consistently (main combos or rotations) I set to Right triggers much as possible. Lesser used buttons I’ll set to L Trigger.

I’ll never set abilities to R1 toggle as I think it feels VERY clunky switching back and forth during fights.

TLDR: Get used to the W Cross Hotbar ASAP. Set long timers to doubles tabs. PROFIT

Love these guides, very helpful when setting up a controller. The supporting docs (list of macros and bindings) are amazing as well. One suggestion for those of us not in the level 90 club: would it be possible to provide an additional list of traits/actions in ascending order by level? Right now, as I gain additional spells, I have to search through the entire macro list to find it. This would be easier if there was a list by level. Thanks for all your hard work!

This is perfect! As someone who doesn't play on controller but gets asked a lot of questions, anything related to controllers I can send them to this video! :D

I knew you had done controllers guide before at W2G but I did not know you had a controller guide video so fresh. Feeling silly I asked you live about it, but thankful you did.

[jakeblaylock]

This is exactly the video I needed, thank you!

Been waiting for the updated controller guide. Been kb/m forever. Tried it before and was able to make it work for gathering professions. Had difficulty with combat jobs, not sure why and gave up. Plan to give it a try now. It's a good time. Ty for making these video's I know u put a lot of work on them and take your time before releasing the controller guides.

[TheOmmadawn]

This guide is excellent as I was struggling to adapt to using a controller. Thank you :)

Iv been playing on controller since the beginning of my FF14 journey because of your video. I ended up getting a new PC and tried playing on M&K. Cant do it. I legit cant play this game unless its controller now. Deeply greatfull for your videos and other class guides.

Watched your recent controller video and now this, quite helpful, the only thing I am missing that would make it much better is a controller overlay that shows what you are pressing, I mean you tell it sure, but a visual controller overlay makes it much better.

Thank you for the videos, played a few hours and liking the game so far. I didn't think that controller would work this great in FF 14, would've started sooner if I knew it.

As a 7 years controller user who can hit insert and play GNB without any interface, I approve this guide.

[Elesthor]

Legacy movement with controller is amazing for avoiding things while casting actions. My biggest gripe is that legacy movement has the camera auto move behind you and there is no option to disable that. Funnily enough, standtard movement does have that option... why SE!?!?! WHY!?!?

[eriktred]

Thank you for both this video and your steamdeck video. Very clear and helpful.

I have this for my pc but wanted to play on my bf’s PS4 and go back to it. I was struggling so hope this helps a bit.
