I was worried about this. The game has so many hotkeys, I have no idea how a controller would handle them. Lots of contextual button mappings.
After I played FFXIV on controller, I no longer have this worry in general. (It has 64 or so hotbar spots) Toggled by holding down with L1/L2 or both, or in reverse and some other fun stuff.
It works flawlessly
Honestly even in Kingdom Hearts 1, there was an L1 menu for spells behind the other menus.
As a FFXIV controller player as well, it's really not that bad.
As someone who played World of Warcraft for many years using only mouse and keyboard, before moving on to FFXIV...I have never played FFXIV on mouse and keyboard and don't even know how I could at this point >!except for the few times I do the Air Force One GATE at the Gold Saucer because the aim speed on a controller is just way too slow!<
It's not a spaceship, it's a videogame.
