From what I've "deduced" about the controls, they are the same-ish so I could pick it up easily, but it would certainly be unfriendly to non-vets.
Oh nevermind then, I won't be getting FFXIV if the absolutely atrocious control scheme of FFXI has been brought back. It isn't difficult or unfriendly, it's simply badly designed. I know Rye didn't stick with FFXI and switched to WoW, even though she likes FFXI much more in literally every other respect, simply because the controls were that bad.
