Simple QuestionFollow

Hey guys, I'm anxiously awaiting the release of this game (Although at Gamestop the other day they had the release date pushed back to 12/9/04 :( ) Anyways, I got a simple question...

I'm jumping ship from FFXI and I really like the control setup (I do realize all games are different).

Is a mouse required to play this game?

What I mean by is a mouse required, is is it point-and-click style, or is it keyboard controlled?

While the controls can be setup for either or, I personally think the game was meant to be played with a mouse. With that said, the mouse control setup is very easy to learn. There is a hotkey bar at the bottom of the screen that holds spells/skills and its as simple as clicking on a ability to activate it. As for movement, if you played a FPS on the pc, then you can handle this game with ease. As for combat, just left click then right click the monster and you'll enter combat mode. To exit combat, just simply click outside of the monster. Believe me when I say this setup makes everything so much easier as opposed to FFXI and the multiple menus you have to go through just to do one simple action.

The BEST combination is Keyboard and Mouse. Other than talking though you can do most things with just a mouse though.

DO keep in mind that often you'll want to target, cast, use an item or other things and just hitting a key is usually a LOT faster than moving the mouse around. It may not seem that way, but especially having played already, I found using the keyboard for a lot of things easier.
