Movement in FFXIV is standard for most MMORPGs. Use WASD for movement, Q and E for strafing, and the mouse for camera control. You can also click to move. Abilities are typically bound to number keys (1-0) and modifier keys (Shift, Ctrl, Alt). Familiarize yourself with these controls in a safe area before engaging in combat. Controller support is excellent, and many players prefer it.

Essential Controls:

  • Movement: W (Forward), S (Backward), A (Strafe Left), D (Strafe Right)
  • Camera: Right-click and drag (mouse), Right stick (controller)
  • Targeting: Tab (Cycle through enemies), F (Target nearest enemy), Left-click (mouse)
  • Interaction: Right-click (mouse), X (controller)
  • Jump: Spacebar (keyboard), B/Circle (controller)
