Here is a list of tips and tricks that I'm compiling. Feel free to post or submit your own!
Enable Legacy Movement Enabling legacy movement controls will keep your character from back pedaling and allow for more freedom of movement.
Character Configuration - Movement Settings
Enable Legacy Type (Camera Based)
Target Nearest Enemy This is extremely helpful. Tab targeting tends to cycle through all available targets and doesn't always prioritize the nearest target. You can bind the command "Target Nearest Enemy" to another key and use this to grab the nearest enemy. This is useful in FATE, party play, and many other instances.
System - Keybind - Targeting
Find the keybind for Target Nearest Enemy
Assign this to more accesible key. For example, you could replace the Face Target bind on the 'F' key with this command since Face Target is mostly useless.
Setting a Focus Target With the below mapped, you can use SHIFT+F to set or clear your target. With your target set, during battle you can target other party members for an action such as cure and then quickly use the F key to switch back to your focus target (usually the tank).
System - Keybind - Targeting
Find the keybinds for Set/Clear Focus Target and Target Focus Target
Assign these to more accesible keys. For example, you could replace the Face Target bind on the 'F' key with Target Focus Target and assign Set/Clear Focus Target to SHIFT + F.
*There are many more targeting options available. These options are better served mapped to more accessible keys. Explore them!
Disable Chocobo Music This will disable Chocobo music while mounted. With the music disabled, you will still be able to hear the zone music and ambient sounds.
System Configuration - Sound Settings
Disable Play Music While Mounted
