You can with FFXIV so i would assume they will let you here? I guess we will see.
Yup that's why I asked.
I heard the controller is clumsy due to menus within menus, which is a terrible design. Ffxiv's controller set up isn't too bad, but it certainly takes a while to get used to it.
Best would be context driven mapping, but that's difficult to create. Next best would be AI driven mapping, such that it learns over time in what contexts you use which commands the most, so they are easier to just use. Another option could use voice recognition to control menu navigation but you don't want to talk to the game all the time, that would suck.
The base version is set menus, via particular buttons or button combos. This is far inferior to keyboard and mouse, and everyone knows this. One way to compensate for that would be to slow the game down a bit, but that's again terrible design.
When you play, you just want to do things, not break immersion every second second to do particular actions. You just want to be able to do it. It's the reason why you can't get world of warcraft on a ps5- there's no way to painlessly recreate the speed and joy of playing with a keyboard and mouse.
Here's hoping Larian studios does a better job than radial menus that lead to more radial menus.
