I've been using a PS2 controller for bout 2 months now for this game... I gotta recommend it to anyone else who ... err... ANYONE!
Its' friggin awesome, I got the adapter for PS2 controller off Ebay (pretty cheap... $15 for a 2-port and $20-$25 for a 4-port adapter), and it works beautifuly on any game or emulator i've tried.
Basicaly got the D-Pad to move my character, one analog to move the camera, and the other analog for menus...etc.
L1 & R1 for my Macro list =D
L2 for auto-run
R2 for heal
Anyone else using PS2 controller? Id' say 'everyone bloody get one'
