I don't see any other comments about it so I'll answer the question about the Use Pet Hotbar for cross hotbar settings. If you have this enabled, it will bring up the pet hotbar when you tap right bumper, not hold it. Normally you hold right bumper to select the hotbar set, but you can also tap quickly to swap to the next, like if you're on set 1 you can tap to jump to set 2 by default. But with pet hotbar enabled, when you're on set 1 it will jump to the pet set instead when you tap. You might have to have another setting enabled for this to work, I can't fully remember.

I'm a firm MMO mouse player - it works better with ergonomics and not moving my hands around too much as an artist with already bad wrists, but still excited to watch this! As a tip to other MMO mouse users: I ended up discovering a small little quirk that really works for me, putting sprint on a small little static hotbar I use for a collapsing macro setup, and mapping it to a middle mouse button/scroll wheel click. It frees up a spot on your job hotbars, and if you have your hand on your mouse all the time like me, it's always easily accessible!

For anyone with small hands, i found what really helped me was moving buttons 7 through = down a row on my keyboard, so q through y. Then I moved wasd down a row to szxc for movement. For reference, my hands are the size of a child despite being a grown adult, so hitting = was always a physical strain and got me killed on a few occasions. However, about a few months ago I swapped to a mmo mouse and wouldnt go back for the world.

I remember when I started raiding in E5S I knew absolutely nothing about UI or system settings or basically anything 😂 had been playing the game since 2016, but only did the MSQs. The PLD of a static my FC knew took me under her wing a little, explained my class to me, but I wasn't getting much better DMG wise. Until one night I talked to a friend of mine about E5S and was like:"Bro, idk man, it's so difficult to dodge the thunderpuddles! I move back so slowly and I can't turn my camera when I have to take my hands off the mouse." I learned 2 things that day: I learned that Legacy exists and I learned that I do not have to play organ to do my DMG rotation. I shot up like 2k in DMG in a day. Have to say though, getting a mouse with 12 side buttons has been the best purchase, it's so comfy for small hands

MMO mouse user. I can't imagine myself ever using the right half of the keyboard like that. JKL are dedicated to text chat, M to map, N to draw/sheathe (not really important), and punctuation to system or other purposes (i.e. comma is screenshot, period is hide UI). That only leaves me with HYUIOP currently unused (I unmapped all default menu keybinds and only put a few important ones on F5-F8). I also came from first-person shooters, so 1. the ability to fine-adjust direction with the camera is mandatory at all times, and 2. absolute control of the camera with my mouse is mandatory, which is why I like "disable camera pivot" and "maintain camera distance" settings, making the game's automatic movements of my camera a bare minimum (only when the camera hits terrain do I lose any control of it).

My bars Physically LOOK like my keyboard. As such, any finger movement is a 1 to 1 movement in my bars on screen. Also I tend to put AEOs on the left (AZQSWX) and single target on the right (RTFGYH) for ease of memorisation. My bindings are as follows, on an AZERTY keyboard: ESDF + Q to move and jump (one right of the standard ZQSD to move, so I get more keys availlable!) RTG ZA, other keys accessible without moving my hand -> combos and actions I use most of the time 123456YH = off GCD mitigation, sorted from shorted to longest cooldown Alt Q and Shift Q -> dashes/ othe movement abilities WXCVB -> Utility stuff, like ranged attack, interupts, tank stance, dance partner, etc. Shift + ESDF Q -> Additional space for Action, bonus points if it has a long cooldown I must keep an eye on for good DPS. Alt + 123456 -> rare mitigation / macros Alt + ZERSDF -> other attacks and stuff that I don't have space for elsewhere Ctrl + any of the keys above : job change. Yes, I can change to any of my most used jobs with a keybind. I NEVER have to lift my hand to hit my keys except maybe 123456 because the only ones I use are my movement keys, around those and/or in a combo with shift/alt. Also I have Shift and Ctrl bound on my mouse wheel (right and left) for easier access!

This is kind of related, but two of the most useful macros I have are: 1. Toggle mute everything except system sounds and BGM 2. Toggle mute on BGM Way more useful than the sound settings and built-in sound controls. That way I can toggle BGM on and off if I'm listening to a podcast or watching TV or playing my own music, while still keeping all the in-game sounds. And I can also toggle off all the in-game sounds if I don't care to hear them, but because it doesn't turn off system sounds, I don't lost things like duty finder chimes. Perfect for alt-tabbing.

No mouse? Damn thats crazy i think you'd be better off with a controller. This is just not reliable at all. I've played MMOs for 14 years and trust me, WoW's MOP expansion had more abilities to keybind than you will ever have in this game and you did NOT need 2 hands operating the keyboard for that. playing like that would have been impossible to do while also being able to move around effectively soooo you wouldnt get invited to anything because you would be a liability, always dead due to being unable to move from mechanics quick enough. I've played FF14 for 2 years now, my first job to max in SB and EW was dragoon and its not that intense... everything you are doing with 2 hands most people can do with 1 hand while moving with the mouse and strafing side to side in-between globals. Do not encourage new people to play the way you do because it will not translate to any other game unless the goal is to type as many words per minute as you can, even then it wouldn't be as effective as normal typing posture.
