    Fixed. I see your point that in some crazy ddr style fight it may happen once in a while. Will it ever happen in msq or daily roulettes? Probably no. Will it ever affect me? Probably not. Like i said I've been playing around testing both modes so much the last 2 days that im already used...

    Yes but you do realize my character doesn't turn around to shoot, right? That is what I was saying. Do you understand why it seems everyone in this thread has comprehension issues? You all keep saying my character is turning around, he's not. standard behaves identically to legacy except for...

    Nah I get it. Legacy system you auto-face shit all the time but it never hampers your movement direction so you just don't care about it when it happens, I got it. That's not what anyone was arguing or typing in their responses, but that's what they meant, I figured it out through actually...

    I'm the one with comprehension issues? You all keep saying that standard movement makes you autoface and turn your character around and hijacks your movement. It doesn't. It never has. Autoface is completely unrelated to movement scheme. Have you not been reading this thread? You think...

    No the thing is everyone is saying it works one way, when it clearly does not. Legacy or standard has zero impact on auto-facing in combat. All they do is control your movement. Legacy turns wasd into the left stick from a controller. That's it. That is all it does. Your mouse is then...

    They pruned down the hotbar insanity years ago. They also rebalance classes every expac so shit always changing. I haven't played this expac yet but you only have 2 and a half hotbars worth of abilities and that's including mounts and sprint and quick travel and shit. All my dudes have combat...

    I am facing away from the dummy the entire time I am hitting it. My camera doesn't spin towards the dummy, neither does my character. My movement keys still move me in the direction that indicates on my screen. So what are you saying is happening? it happens so fast that my screen just...

    No. I doesn't. I just spent over an hour testing this as I detailed in my post. Standard does not function any differently than legacy in this regard unless you do not use mouse look. If you do use mouselook like every human being on earth, the only difference between the two movement...

    Ok thank you for the list bro I appreciate it, seems most of these options unlock later on. You say Fashion Accessories unlocked by a blue quest, but I can't find this quest anywhere. I searched for any quest with the word fashion in it or that unlocks fashion and nada. I'm not too worried...

    Ok help me out because i'm not seeing anything different between Standard Type and Legacy Type movement settings as far as autofacing or being able to ignore facing. Literally the only difference I am seeing is it changes what the S key does, from backing up slowly to turning your character...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Ok ill try it but if the only advantage is ignoring facing and there is an option you can check that ignores facing then why would i disassociate my camera and player movement when i could just click that option?

    No? Ive never noticed this issue using overpower. I am tab targeting a lot to grab fresh spawns and keep them all clumped together so the group can aoe them, i rarely have my actual target in front of me and overpower works just fine. Actually all of my skills work even if targets arent...

    I honestly don't think ive ever pressed the s key in any game. Do you guys not use mouse look or something? This is clearly a setting for controllers to let them approximate kb/mouse.

    If you are the type of person who cant move out of an aoe without enabling an option to completely disassociate your camera controls from your movement controls then i wouldn't want to play with you either. Ignoring how dumbed down this games combat is so its playable by 90 year olds on a...

    Fuck no. I played around with that for 2 seconds and then noped out right away. And before anyone tries to convince me otherwise no, i will not used their legacy movement. Im not 8 years old and this isnt the first video game ive ever played. There is no scenario where im going to override...

    Ok some of these are obvious, I assume I'd unlock the various crafter logs by unlocking those crafting classes, etc but is there anything else of these greyed out options that are unlocked by blue+ quests, ones that i'm missing?

    180 degrees? To be fair I just got in the zone of unlocking content with blue quests, this was one of them. I had to unlock hard mode dungeons and trials to continue msq/earn the token things to buy gear, and i had to level up my gc so i can sell my unused gear so i had to do fates anyway. So...

    Everyone saying "just wait til ____" question, no spoilers, but does the writing improve? I get the impression that in the expansions theres less "collect 10 bear asses" filler quests so you get more story nuggets and maybe start to give a shit about any of the characters or their problems...

    So I pretty much regret having skipped all the blue quests, Whoever suggested only doing MSQ + Class quests did me dirty. I spent most of the afternoon going around and doing all of them to unlock various dungeons and hard modes (many of these are required for the msq) and game features. I...

    dude for the first month when this game actually had players, none of the invasion portals beyond the newbie ones worked, and OPR wasn't even in. You got all of your azoth from running quests, and that's exactly what the casual experience was, running quests. Yes general travel was hugely...

    Everything I mentioned affected the casual player. Azoth costs being slightly different depending on faction control had zero impact on casuals. The vast majority of casual players joined green because it was cool, and to a lesser extent purple, probably 65/35 split. zero casuals joined...

    No this game failed because whoever was in charge kept changing what kind of game it was going to be, from an private server survival game to persistent online survival to battle royale and then finally to an MMO.
