I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for this and your other videos. I am in the future on PS5 and you are making things so much easier for me even all these years after this video was posted.
Great guide for beginners and return players that need a little reminder of different elements to the game. Awesome!
Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed and hopefully this helps new and returning players. :)
Now this is what I have been looking for.
Your guides are awesome. Its why I subbed. Best tutorials on YT honestly imo
Wow dude, wow, high praise... thank you so much. :)
Oh lord I literally just got the game this weekend. Man your videos are a real lifesaver.
Just got into ff14 and all of your videos have been super helpful thank you
Much much appreciated for this guide. I been a mess in FFXIV since I been gone so long. Thank you!
Ah you’ve been amazing sir. I’ve been struggling with my cross hot bar and sharing - you explained clearly how to sort that. Finally I won’t have a xhb with BLM/SAM/PLD skills on it 😄
Thanks Ian, glad this was helpful :)
Great video, it made me go back to the damn controller lol Always hated it in here, but it was because of no knowledge of how good it could be, so thanks.
Really happy to be of any help :)
Thank you SO much for making this video. I spent a full hour applying everything you mentioned and it has helped me so much!
Extremely helpful. My UI is an unmitigated disaster! Since I use controller with a mouse on my laptop I've always had a problem with too many things on my screen. I plan to refer to this video often in order to remove some of the clutter I have. I guess it comes down to muscle memory as to where all my actions are. I'm just not using my cross hotbar to its optimum and this video is going to help me out a lot. Thank you.
I originally posted this on the wrong video. Stupid auto play. But anyway, I just wanted to say how much I appreciate these guides. I've been playing mouse and Keyboard for years and finally decided to try controller. It was so intimidating, but your guides helped me figure it all out. Thanks so much!!!
Thanks, Felicia, I'm glad I've been able to help out and that it sounds like you're enjoying it so far. :)
@@Work2Game I am. Still getting used to it though. I keep fiddling with my cross hotbars so that they make sense. Targeting is still a bit wonky. It's a work in progress.
Well if you need any help or get stuck, let me know if I can help :)
omg thank you for this! hopefully will enjoy playing after i do some customization! (playing on ps4 and it's really overwhelming for a beginner)
You're very welcome Dane, and welcome to the game as well. Let us know if you need any help :)
Great video man. Thanks for great guide!
Glad we could help Crept :)
Great guide. Just what I was looking for
Thanks im a late starter to FFXIV - thank you soo much for this guide it seriously helped me a ton to get started. No to decide if i stay warrior till DK or play ninja till DK.
Tom Richardson I haven’t played in so long Grreat MMO bade FFXIV ARR was pretty short but now they released expansions I thought I’d get back into it plus I missed it great game and this guide I wish I knew about this how to when I started
Finding out that the cross action bar is basically the controller action bar made me feel slightly silly. Finding out there's an extended bar is something I'm very excited about and will be implementing as soon as I log in next. After getting to around 35-40 the hot bar started feeling pretty crowded and having to scroll through bars to access cooldowns for instance feels clunky. I think this should remedy that nicely.
Great guide! Thank you so much for the time and detail you put into your videos.
I'm looking forward to incorporating W crossbars into my play. It should really help with cool down management. Thanks for this guide!
Oh ffs that mouse click trick at 4:50. 3 years in. I shake my head
Awesome guide man. I am still relatively new to the game and trying to figure out to easily make use of all the powers and such was becoming difficult the more of them I gained.
Great video! Helped a tonne.
Thanks man this helped a lot
Awesome Jim! Glad I could help :)
Let me start by saying your vids are great -AND- I haven’t checked extensively...but, I like how you have your UI setup, therefore I wish you had a video that simply guided me, step by step, soup to nuts, to mimic your setup. I started to do that with this video, but Left W and Right W weren’t options in the drop down which means there are settings elsewhere.
Great idea David, I’ll get something like that uploaded for you :)
Thank you thank you thank you!!
I am still feeling the loss and mourning the passing of Destiny 1. I’ve been on the cusp of completion in warframe and elite Dangerous for years and I’ve been searching for a new game to sweep me off my feet.
I’m hoping with great anticipation ffxiv is “the one” :)
Finally completed Realm Reborn last night. Still struggling a bit with controls and associated behaviors but I’m grinding it out :)
Still lookin forward to the paint by numbers vid of ur controller setup. Thank you again for that.
thanks man i really appreciate your help info
Thanks @Nykko73 :) glad I can help in some way :)
fantastic guide thank you very much
Tysm! It helped a bunch!
Glad to help :)
The only reason i didn’t start ffxiv years earlier was because I heard the GCD was 2.5 seconds instead of 1 sec. Which I still don’t like. But if I’d known it’s the only MMO that can truly be played properly with a controller I’d have taken the plunge ages ago
You're GCD will drop too as you get higher Skill Speed, and some jobs feel very fast, while others, you'll feel the GCD.
gotta say great guide im returning to ffxiv since the release of storm blood and mainly playing on ps4 im sure when everyone starts on controller its huge pain, and aggravating. Thanks so much just quick question. I know you brought up other features like i was saying its been over year since i played but if you have any guides for macro's and possibly help guide for returning players that are used to having chivalry bar or other bars that they recently put in since storm blood i would be grateful also you said something about twitch streaming if you could message that would like to check out your channel some time thanks a lot.
Yeah we've got some guides for macros and more by job. What job are you maining? You can also reach out on our discord and ping me for real time communication if needed :)
My main was pld but running Sam to get to heaven wards content would like to relearn pld loved tanking with it
you might of put your discord on your channel if not could you message me your server thank you
How do you remove hot bars? I can't figure it out. Thanks
So in the character config > hotbar settings you can turn hotbars on and off, or under HUD > hotbar # > settings > display element
How does one change the setting so when you highlight a particular side of the crossbar the un selected side disappears. I've noticed yours stays there. Been looking for a while now but cannot figure out how. Dont even know what it's called to search for it.. just to be clear if I hold a bumper button so for RB. LB vanishes and RB abilities move to the middle until you release the button.. HELP =(
It's under System > Character Config > hotbar settings. You have some hiding and showing options, I can't recall which one specifically.
@@Work2Game been through all 4 tabs inside character > Hotbar cant find it =( nothing works driving me mad! xD
QUESTION: I haven't played in over a year, but I remember being able to make the hotbar skills customized by placing individual skill buttons wherever you wanted instead of being limited to grid types. Did they remove this option at some point? I'm curious because I'm using a controller as I did before, but I can't seem to find the option to customize skill nodes outside of predefined grids in the HUD layout menu?
So I see the main cross hot bar but on each side you have two smaller cross hotbars with less used skills. How do you access these quickly on the controller. I know how to get them on there via the HUD but I don't get why or how you use them on the controller.
Those are referred to as the WXHB or Double Cross Hotbar. I have a video guide on those specifically, but you just need to enable it via your character settings > cross hot bar options window :)
How's it going guys!.. Are U guys gonna make a controller setup for Dancer?.. pls? 😁
Yes we are Mokka, but it's a slow process, Chris is in Scottland right now, and I'm at work. :S
@@Work2Game.. 👍.. always take care guys!
You too! :)
THANK YOU!!!!!
My whole Main Menu when i press Start is too big, is there any way to change that?
How can you drop moves into the left/right w hot bars or the one where you press both triggers at the same time?
The expanded cross hotbar (holding both triggers) can be accessed by adding skills to the linked hotbar. You can't add skills to it when you're holding them both down, but just look under character config > hotbar settings > ... you'll find it where you can set which hotbar that pulls from and that's where you add it too.
@@Work2Game thank you very much, I've been switching back and forth from this video and your samurai control guide
Ive kinda got the hud layout where i want it ( im a new player by the way ) but how do i remove the ability names? Im on ps4 and when i hold the back buttons L2 R2, the names of my ability’s comes up and gets in the way. Some help would be appreciated. Thanks.
@work to game
Hey mate i know its an old video but im a new player to ff14 but it helps me with understanding the UI and set it up for controller support....
but how do you make it switch from hotbar 1 to 7 and to 8 cause i can only make it to do from hotbar 1 to 8 even thought i have set all the settings as you have done it
Hold down r1 and the relevant button for the bar you want.
So I created a HUD layout for my scholar, but when I switch to Summoner, the setup for Scholar is still there, how do I change it to be for each job?
How do you drag skills into the the wxhb mine don't go in is it locked or something
Your WXHB is linked to a hotbar, you can't drag skills onto the WXHB, so you'll need to add them to the linked hotbar, and they will show up on the WXHB.
Think of the WXHB as a shortcut :)
When I use hot bar how do I make the names of skills n traits go away. Can't find it anywhere. Please help
Is there a way to choose what "select" cycles through, I usually dont want to target my chat log with my controller
Yes, you can have four different filters... so pressing LB + (A/B/X/Y) you can change your filter :)
Hi I have a question, I'm on ps4 and I can only move icon from "hotbar 1" but that hotbar has a permanent lock on it. If it's another hotbar the icon can't be moved. Is there a way to move icons from other hotbars or is there a way to get rid of the lock icon next to hotbar 1?
If you click the "lock" by hotbar 1, it should be locked on all... for me, I use hotbar 3 as it doesn't have the lock or the up down arrows to cycle hotbars. But no, you can't remove that lock from HB1.
At least not what I've seen, I'll test next time I'm online and if I find a way I'll update you. :)
I seem to be having trouble moving the chat frame and the server notice to the edges of the screen on PS4 :(
The chat frame has to be done outside the HUD layout area, but it can be quite a challenge doing that on a controller, it's possible, but takes a lot of effort.
Turns out it was my basic display settings there was literally an invisible wall preventing me from moving any further rectified by sound to settings>sound and display then use the left stick to adjust. Thanks for your reply!
Awesome content and sick hud, bro! Sub+1. I have a question tho: what engages be the ideal and easiest way to set up an equal (or close to it) for different resolutions? On the PC I have 21:9, and couch/tv it's 1920x1080. I wonder if it'd be with the hud layout saving spots... Can you confirm that for me? Thx in advance.
How did you put those powers on hotbar 3? Wanna set mine to check cooldowns on skills
If just using a controller, put the controller into "virtual mouse mode" by pressing down on the left stick and pressing R1 (or it might be L1 and R3 - right stick) to enter and exit. Then use the left trigger to grab and drag the skills onto the bar. :)
If you need a visual check out my deep dive into the UI guide. :)
@@Work2Game got it thank you very much :)
Im having alot of trouble. Even when i turn sharing off on all of my hotbars for some reason my xhb never changes when i switch jobs. So I have to keep switching abilites around everytime i change jobs and i don't know what to do
Can you use the top hot bar or is for cool down knowledge?
You can do what you want with it but for me I use it for cooldown knowledge :)
What's your sweet spot for the wxhb timer?
How did you make it so you could make the hot bar number invisible? (In your case #3) and the invisible hot bar spaces between the abilities?
Great video I’ve been able to improve the quality of all my settings with this video.
So I've been playing for bout 2 weeks, but I've maimed SMN but if I go to another job it will still have some hotbars from summoner on, is there a way without going through menu's swapping the xbar Nd other crossbar evertime?
How's it going work to game?!.. question.. when the enemies are channeling attack, is there a way to make it bigger like in your face kinda thing or is it automatically just pop up?
You can make the target bigger as well as the enemy list bigger :)
@@Work2Game nice! Thanks guys! Have a good 1!
i all of a sudden starting having a issue where my controller inputs now also press keyboard inputs at the same time making it unplayable you know any fix?
whats the difference between the hotbars ?
I can't figure out how to keybind my mouse how I like it!
Playing Wow, I would bind auto run to mouse wheel up and walk backwards to mouse wheel down. clicking the scroll wheel in strafes and shift clicking strafes the other way. I like this so I can keep my hand on my mouse, all movement on my mouse, and use the wasd area for all my action keys.
Anyone know if this is possible in FF14?
Oh, I don't know (as I play on a controller), but I'm sending this comment over to Chris to see if he has any thoughts.
how do u get to hotbar 9 and 10?
What is the point of the WXHB??
You can set it up so you dont have to hold and cycle your hotbars gives ypu 8 extra slots amd you just double tap L1 and R1 its super useful
That way you dont have to use the hold L1 press R1 to access other bars also lets you see your cds
It can give you up to 16 slots if you have it include directional buttons, it's good for combos or ogcd
I notice he’s only using 8 WXHB slots in this video instead of the full 16. Not sure why, this seems unusual. Many players, including myself, put the entire two WXHBs smaller but just above the normal XHB. You can sort of wedge each side above the ++’s of the main XHB.
Thanks
Thanks so much :)
Is it possible to look behind fast like you can on pc?
Use mouse and keyboard
@@DVo-fe8ew literally a video about controller UI, why would I be here if I played mouse/kb? use a brain?
He-he-he, you said inc-LUDE, He-he-he
Cab you add me ff14 to help me with controller set up
Yeah Ben, jump on our discord, and if I can't someone should be able to assist.
...why do I have way more crap on my screen than you do?
I like your guides, but, you nervous laugh is very distracting.
It’s not a nervous laugh but I get that feedback all the time. Hope you can get past it but if you can’t no worries
Work To Game Of course, lol! Your content is top notch. Keep up the great work 👍🏻
How did you macro gear sets with soul stones?
