Legacy movement + auto-face target when casting is so helpful

I have the target castbar as 200% in the middle of my screen because I am blind as fuck, changed it once and never looked back XD best setting by far!

I DO have an mmo mouse and I still use Q and E for abilities, it's just very comfy and easy to hit those keys. Lol

I used to have a MMO mouse but after a while I started feeling uncomfortable. I now have a Azeron Cyborg. I basically only use my keyboard to type

holding right click will allow a and d strafe btw

VERY informative. FINALLY being able to get rid of losing my target if I clock deadspace is a HUGE boon for me, thank you so much.

in PVP specifically i would recommend seeing all combat effects, too many times have i died to seemingly nothing, then i realized i had limited effects on in pvp

Those are some really nice tips! Thank you for it!

It would be great if you found a way to chapter the video, so individuals can quickly look for the setting they want advice on! No, you're not weird, you're based for doubleweaving on the same button @16:50 Even better is to hire assistance from your local internet technician so they can hook up your internet for high-speed, 0-latency connection, making double-weaving even easier!

Sweet guide!! Thanks!! You explain things super well :)

You can still turn with Standard if you just hold left mouse, and strafe with A and D whilst holding right :')

No one setting is better than another. It might be hard for some to understand, but there's a reason why these options exist. It's always good for people to show case what the pro and cons of the setting.

I'm a WoW player so for me i always press mouse right button. When i press A and D my character runs Left or Right without Legacy setting, and if i need to run back i turn my camera 180 degree and run, not sure if it is efficient way but so far nothing hit me if i'm not late to leave a mechanic. I'm more used to rotate my camera angle than using WASD

Omg I didn't know you could link glamours like that! Thank you!

Awesome! I just started PVPing, and this info will be a major help!

Great tips! Thank you.

Some good tips here, especially with the role colours and all. Been playing for years and had no idea, this makes it so much easier to find the healer for extreme trials lol

You can still backpedal on Legacy by holding ASD. Also, Legacy allows you to keep moving and use ranged attacks without turning around, which makes the kiting in solo deep dungeon easier.

Thank You! A lot of useful tips in this video, but I needed pet resizing the most right now. The fun of summoning Bahamut/Titan etc wears of quickly when I can't see what I'm doing because of them XD

what armor pieces are you wearing at the start?

I have followed your last guide and i am rewatching this one again just in case there's any new tips. BUT i will never give up my fancy looking job gauges xD I get the minimalist take and i love the neat looking UIs as well. But the gauges add some personality to the class so i really like having them. BLM gauge is infamous anyway. And whenever the TBN pop happens in the og DRK skull, it just makes me happy xD One thing i would look forward in these future vids is if you can give a timestamp in case you talk about any brand new qol that's added right before a similar video goes up. As much as I enjoy watching your vids, i cant sit down and watch the exact same guide for 30 mins just to confirm if there's anything new or not😢

Camera control is much better in standard. Running backwards is the only advantage that legacy offers.

The Unending Cutscenes in the Inn are limited as it doesn’t have every cutscene… I kind of wish it did, as I’d like to watch them. Thus I leave cutscenes on and if I want to skip them it’s just a button press for dungeons. But if I’m being honest I enjoy watching them.

will you be doing a level 100 of each of the jobs now that dawntrail is officially out?

Outstanding tips, thank you sir

Hmm regarding the movement, it's not very clear cut, the first type is closer to other MMOs and if someone is used to that you can perform perfectly with those settings, I was a high level raider in WoW and when I started playing XIV I used it for a long time, also sometimes backpedaling may be desired under some circumstances. The whole problem with strafing isn't really a problem because you should be playing with your RMB held with this mode, and if you are clicking stuff that's something more important to optimize than your settings. Recently I got used to Legacy and it makes movement easier if you are clumsy, but there are certain movements I miss sometimes.

I've always found the legacy vs standard option highly subjective. It really depends on how you use mouse and keyboard. I use right click camera movement at all times to rotate my character, which I find for me is faster than legacy, and it strafes by default anyway so you don't need to bind strafe to A or D. It also allows me to make fine adjustments to my position.

Great video as a refresher for old players, or new players who are just joining. Thanks a bunch Azurite!^^ Legacy movement has been here since the beginning of the game. They added "standard" because that's the tank-control players are used to from world of warcraft, and some other mmorpgs. A lot of players nowadays are just used to tank-controlling their character with the mouse. So it's to make the game more accessible to all players. Legacy is the movement style from final fantasy 11. Hence the name, Legacy. If FF14 didn't have Legacy, they'd lose a lot of FF11 players, which they really hoped would convert to FF14 and leave FF11 (this didn't work, we're still thriving in FF11 haha). FF11 doesn't have visible telegraphs. You have to memorize all the enemy Aoe/cone attacks, and you have to move away, or be able to turn away on a dime. Takes less than a second, and the in-game cursor is horrid for movement. FF11 was originally meant for console/controller (we almost got ff11 on the wii???), and the cursor in 11 is sort of.... useless. The game is fully playable with only keyboard, or with controller. Both movement styles are great, depending on what you're used to. I have a WoW buddy who uses mouse to turn quickly, using standard. Me, I dodge stuff using legacy as I come from FF11. ^^ We are both happy players who enjoy the game. Anyway, it's all a matter of taste and muscle memory. Neither style is wrong. FF14 is the love-child of WoW and FF11. Let's co-exist for the sake of our child.

Controller window resize is right-stick click (R3 for ps controller), by the way :D

I had no idea about that autotarget feature, that's nice for stuff like Bozja so I can actually get stuff done lmao

13:00 if i use this i still get the Error Sound and Message on screen. it only works for "target not in range" but not for "Invalid Target". Is there a Thing im missing? Pls help ^^

To answer the controller key-bind question, R3 is what alters menu size. It works in both hud layout and when in specific menus (crafting log for example).

I'm still not understanding the recast time thing on Salted Earth. I've rewatched that part a few times, and I can't see the difference.

What hair style is that?

Standard is absolutely my go to as usual for this game! Nothing beats being able to have full control over your character's movement while also having strong control over the camera too & it feels so versatile & convenient with the way my settings & keybinds are. You can also just hold RMB & it allows A and D to strafe, so my character movement is more precise and fluid. Tried Legacy years ago but it felt too clunky for me, personally.

Another small thing, because as a new (3 months) player, I really like looking at what other people are wearing and seeing how it looks on my character, the character window and the "Try On" window can be scaled up to give you a better look. Just right click the header and and select "Scale Window" from the drop down.

Why its better to not have legacy? because i controll my chatacter with pressing the 2 buttons on the mouse and moving around. thats why. then you are clear where you moving and i can let the other buttons do the actions.

Thanks for the helpful tips!

i want legacy movement with right click character turning like on standard because holding s and clicking both mouse buttons to keep uptime for gazes is really annoying

Not a bad player for liking legacy, but I use standard and play with my right mouse button held down haha. Avoids most of the legacy movement drawbacks and no strafe keybinds.

You're not doing anything wrong, these settings are all to tailor everything to your own style, but I find it amusing that we prefer almost entirely the totally opposite settings for so many things. XD

Standard movement is better for controller users imo

I used to pray for times like this (Azu upload)

you can turn with your mouse at will. it was like this in wow too, and that's why it's a setting, and that's how you effectively use standard. yes, you unbind turn. why would you ever need turn keys when you CAN TURN AT WILL?????

I use standard and the way I move backward out of an aoe is I turn my camera 90 degress by holding right click, and then pressing either a or d to move left or right (when you're holding right click, your turn keybinds automatically change to strafe keybinds).

Me holding right click in default movement so I can just move my camera to move

If you could back pedal at full speed i would say normal movement would 100% be better i personally really like that I'm i hold right click i 100% know which way character is facing. If there's a look away mechanic hole right click and turn away from the boss. I've only very recently switched to legacy because of the backpedal but im still not as big of a fan of my character not always facing the same way i am and do really miss that from standard movement

Who doesn't hold right click to move while using wasd? xD

@@zombiegodsire yeah biggest QOL for me would be cursor options. I lose my mouse soooo much

I use standart controls for several reasons. 1: 20+ years of playing games with the setup and most other games using it. And retraining my muscle memory for just on game is just too much. 2: I find legacy controlls disorientating, at least with mouse and keyboard. 3: I value movement and camera being independent from each other higher then faster backwards movement

I stick with the default Standard movement, but I have everything hotkeyed so that I have both hands on the keyboard during combat. It's just a comfort issue and one less device for me to worry about while I heal

I prefer standard, that does not make me think you are a bad player, but the reason I prefer it is primarily while tanking, say I need to move backwards out of an aoe that I am on the edge of getting out of but there is also the edge of the arena behind me with a small sliver of safe space to stand in, I prefer the slower "backpedal" to more precisely make sure I do not full speed run off the arena while also not overdoing it with the animation of my character turning around adding unnecessary movement to distract the eyes throwing off your perception of where you character's placement actually is. Also I did set A and D to strafe but that does not remove my ability to turn because you can just hold down right click while running like I feel most people do anyways when playing with M&K

I just hold down right mouse button and turn that way

standard is superior for hanging out with friends, since you can slowly turn towards them then give em' the stare

I’m dying laughing at the first thing Rebinding your keys to remove turn and put strafe on a/d is literally day 1 mmo stuff

Genuinely don't understand how people use Standard movement.

standard costed us hours of caloric prog, dont be that guy

I just turn my char with mouse on standart

I use standard and still strafe with a and d, just hold down the right mouse button. Of course this does lock where you're facing to your mouse at the time.

In regards to moving backwards to avoid AoEs, there's a neat thing people playing on standard-movement use: hold right-click, turn the camera, and strafe out of the AoE. ...i realize this sounds condescending- that isn't my intention, just wanna point out a way to avoid aoes without having to hold the move back key.

with standerd u can change charecter facing direction with camera movement, and if u change key binde for strafing to A,D than all u have to do to run back is to look to.ur left/right and press A/D to run back sideway.

I'm a filthy clicker so I stick with standard movement.

99/100 resolution scaling with FSR + Maxed anti aliasing or DLSS to replace these settings. Gamma 25/100. This imo looks the best. DLSS has less shimmer/blur when moving, while FSR has a lot of it, but looks sharper (preference).

in before the sheep saying put FSR on 99 because "it looks better" when it looks absolutely awful and costs performance.

pop-ups from the 90s. I am that old...and it sucked

I disagree about legacy camera

I just plain hate the legacy movement option. I'm glad it's there for people who prefer it, but for me it's only ever caused problems, so it can be a little obnoxious and eye-roll worthy for me when a video has a thumbnail like this one's that says legacy movement is 'better' carte blanche. Take my click and my engagement, but it does feel like clickbait to me.
