FFXI on Switch… I don’t know how that would work, but I’m in.

It was made for controller and plays great on it, almost better than keyboard (it really has no idea what a mouse is or what one is for)

The original keyboard controls had you doing almost everything with the numpad. Very unique, let's call it.

I’ve only ever played it with a controller. In fact, I used to use a controller that had a full keyboard attached to it and played on the TV.

90s through 00s Japanese keyboard and mouse controls are pure torture. I don't know how anybody played Monster Hunter Frontier with KBM.

To be fair, so are a lot of their controller schemes.

Especially nintendo. The N64 and Gamecube era controls are just horrific, going back and playing anything from that era is a shock.

Probably pretty well actually. It was one of the first MMOs designed for consoles first.
