FFXI on the Xbox 360

Re: FFXI on the Xbox 360

lol yeah that LED shows that you are "player 1" I am not sure...but if you pluged in another one to your PC on the second controler, the second LED should light up.... not sure if it will do that on PC though..it does on 360.

and yeah sorry those drivers can be tricky, just make sure you completly remove the offical driver, then install the new one

It didn't cross my mind about the 1,2,3,4 being player indicators because I figured Microsoft would of had more players like PS3 (PS3 has seven, I figured all consoles were stepping it up).

Just to point out with those drivers, the ones I used you are supposed to install the Microsoft ones first. Maybe I ended up at a different site, but I got to this guide and just read what it says:

And one last thing-- The 360 controller rumbles HARD. Wow. The fact they took the PS3's rumble out because of the motion stuff (cough cough lawsuit cough cough) is more than enough reason for me to sadly not want a PS3 now.

mmmm odd I never installed the offical driver and mine installed fine, anyway....

yeah I found it funny that Sony wussed out and reverted back to the controler desigh that almost got a lawsuite to begin with, one of the reasons rumble was not placed back and then they snatched the Wii gyro funtion at the last minute...that was really dumb lol, because it is BS that rumble will screw with the Gyro censer, the Wii remote has rumble and both parts of the controler have 2 seperate gyro censers, so Sony only copied half of the controler hahaha

Well it doesn't matter if you have the official drivers installed or not, I guess. Ah well, as long as it works. :D

And the real sucky thing about PS3 taking the Wii's motion stuff is the Wii's "remote" is designed to have you swinging it around, with one hand; as where the PS3 will have you bending your wrists every which way because of how you need two hands to use it. Therefore, carpel tunnel for all. Just pick up any controller now and try moving it six different ways... it's just not worth it. :/

Double Post Edited:
And just to mention, has anyone ever switched between the PS2 and Xbox 360 controllers and found it confusing how they switched the d-pad and joysticks?

I think Sony got it right with keeping both sticks level with each other, the 360 kind of feels cockeyed having your thumbs more diagonal than level. Still is a pretty nice controller though... WITH RUMBLE.

Personally I'm not a fan of the 360 controller at all, mostly cause I have large thumbs and always end up hitting the pause button when I'm trying to press.. uh, I think it's X? The blue one..

yeah its X :p

yeah and I saw a new pic of the PS3... they reverted back to Black for the controler and system, and they are like "all new contrler" but it looks the same as it always has..... sad
