The OG still holds up, and I actively don’t want them to try and remake it into some 3D version. I feel like that’d kill its soul.

Healing is definitely its own little animal. My main job is Scholar, so I’ve had to create a couple of mostly healer specific things to help out. (You may already do some of this, so forgive me)
I don’t really use any macros for casting spells or anything like that, but what I have found helpful are three really simple ones that help with targeting.
The first being simply a focusTarget one that lets you set up, well, a focus target:
/focustarget
Since as a healer you are most oftes worried about the tank, I generally set them as the focus target. By itself that doesn’t do a whole lot, but then…
…I have two others that help. One that when you use it it selects whatever your focus target is:
/target <f>
So no matter where you are, you can get to the tank (or other focus) super quick for heals.
And the last one is one that jumps to whatever your current target is targeting. Kind of a mouthful, that, but pretty helpful:
/target <tt>
So in practice if you are doing damage to the boss and just need to quickly swap to whatever the boss is targeting, you can hit this, swap to a party member, heal them, and then press it again to go back to the boss.
Along with these are some settings that you might look into if you haven’t already. Control Settings -> Filters -> Filter Customization. In this section you can filter target groups by hitting LB + [one of the face buttons]. I basically 100% of the time use one that targets only enemies because you can always hit up and down to select party members. That lets me always use right and left for bad guys and there’s no confusion.
Lastly for targeting, pressing LB + up/down will select just enemies on your enemies list (this is obviously super handy for tanks). And LB + right/left will target Alliance members on other parties. So if you see that some healers are down on another team, that’s the shortcut to cycle through those members to help.
And then lastly lastly: there are some extra crossbars you can put up on the screen at all times under the Custom tab of Hotbar Settings. You may already know about these at this point, though.
So anyway, again, if you already know these things, then obviously feel free to ignore. But I hope at least some part of that helps a little.
There’s a community at !finalfantasyxiv@lemmy.world if you guys have any questions.
I’ll also say that if you are using KB/M to try a controller for a little bit, too. You’ll be surprised at how well it works. I can’t even play this game with a KB/M setup it’s so foreign to me.
My friends and I started with the 2.0 beta, and it’s wild to me that I’ve now played one game in three decades of my life (started when I was 29 and we are now into year 11).
Gonna be in a retirement home grinding to level 250 or whatever.
I was able to get this for half off via some weird QVC deal (I don’t know if it still exists), so it’s sounding like $35 or whatever is currently a good price for an average game.
I’m sure I can get some fun out of it.
I’m not a kid anymore and I’m the opposite: give me a single player Half Life 3 so I can relax without getting stressed online after work.
Nah man, I want the same tired design as we’ve had for the better part of twenty years!
I need to preorder this this weekend.
I like the games but hate Amazon so I’ll skip it.
But hopefully the show itself is good.
Someone, for the love of god, just announce when Silksong will come out, already.
I was telling a bunch of friends to not be surprised when Animal Well ended up on a bunch of GOTY lists.
And they were like, “Nahh” until they played it when they were like, “Ahhhh.”
From top to bottom it’s one of the most interesting and well put together games I’ve played in so long.
Oh, lame.
I like The Division 2 a lot and have spent almost zero time in the PVP zones in my couple hundred hours.
I hope the pivot is just over to The Division 3.
That’s true, but at least then you didn’t have to listen to Chadley before each one, ha.
These new games actually make me like the OG FF7 more, if that’s possible. Or, at the very least, make me like the world and characters more since they aren’t just cuboid freaks. 7 was never my favorite of the bunch even though it’s the most popular, but I sure as heck spent 100 hours in Rebirth doing most of the side content.
It’s a very good game hindered only by the fact they there’s not a minigame Square said “No” to.
Yikes
Sorry, Mark, so long as Meta is attached to the headset I’m not going to buy it.
I don’t even let Meta websites into my house. I have all that blocked at the DNS level.
I’m just hoping “tap X to run” is not the default any more.
I’d say Helldivers does punish you if you try to push too hard too fast. It’s really easy to get overwhelmed with enemies.
How it’s been four years and Sony hasn’t released a dongle to solve this problem is beyond me. Especially now that they are releasing more and more games on pc.
I have my pc in my living room, and while I’d like to just go wireless, I’ve currently decided to compromise with a super long cable just so I can get all the dualsense features.
