Final Fantasy XIV Major Patches Detailed

My coworkers and friends made fun of me for picking up the CE of this game, without knowing anything about it. I admit, it might have been foolish. But I wanted to enjoy this game so much. After playing for several hours and trying to get used to the flow of things, I got REALLY frustrated. There are things that are missing that should be standard in ANY PC game (i.e. keybinding). Yes, this game has it, but only for certain things. Any menu you want to use, you have to go through the Main Menu to get to. This is dumb. I should be able to keybind my inventory menu, among other things. Also, you can only interact with world objects by bringing up the Main Menu. Again, dumb. I should be able to click it and do what I want (I see these things are in the patch notes and I'm happy). There were other things that made me stop playing this game after 2-3 weeks. But, as they are now going to be fixed, I will more than likely give the game another go.

Also, one thing that frustrated me was people saying "this game was built for the console". I tried to use a controller, and you know, combat isn't really very intuitive for this. It's way too slow. You have to move up and down you're action bar to select an ability, and then depending on that ability, you have to "re-target" your target. That's just silly. 3-5 seconds on the controller to do said action (and that's being generous), versus 2 clicks of the mouse which take maybe 1-2 seconds (if you're slow). I just don't see how this is "built for consoles" when it's so horribly slow to use controllers.
