You dont need keybinds to strafe on standard, you just hold right mouse button and then move left and right. The biggest advantage of standard is that you can move around and rotate your camera without having to rotate your character. When you press forward your character just moves forward, its not awkwardly tied to your camera's facing. That being said, legacy is way better in combat for obvious reasons. There is a plugin (Simple Tweaks) allows you to auto swap between the two movement settings depending on if you are in combat or not. I highly suggest that for people who like me enjoys the out of combat movement of standard but the advantages of legacy in combat. Square Enix should just add this as an option for people.

I prefer Standard, but you are not a bad player (for using legacy, at least, maybe you are bad, i don't know!). There's not really any advantages to Standard, and Legacy is probably superior for min-maxing, but since there is absolutely no content in the game that needs either one or the other, and you can still adapt very well with either movement type (even moving backwards with Standard) then it's best to just go for the one that feels better for you. I prefer someone play something that they like and can use well, than something that is optimal but they find awkward and uncomfortable.

I quit because the game looked very bad and the story was super boring (I reached almost the end of shadowbringers MSQ after going through the stormblood slop).

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.
@Rolaz3 күн бұрын
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
@BaghNakh1Күн бұрын
If you're already used to it and it reaches the same results then you're good to go. I also use standard movement cuz I'm a main melee player (both tank and melee dps) so if I want to run from enemies, instead of running straight in the opposite direction, I just turn my camera 90° either left or right and just strafe run and my hands and muscle memory are already used to it to the point I have no problem doing that at all. I got used to it due to WoW since you can't dodge/parry/block attacks when you're hit in the back so running away from enemies by strafing was the best thing to do since you could both run, attack, and dodge/parry/block at the same time.

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

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😢

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.
