    Just got my key, and this was also one of the first thoughts I had as well. While I will play with m+kb if it's the only option, I have definitely enjoyed my experience playing with a controller in FF, even successfully into some savage content.

    While I will admit that playing on a gamepad is probably less optimal in something like group PVP due to target selecting, the idea that controllers aren't good for "reactive" gameplay is silly. It's all practice/repetition and muscle memory whether keyboard or controller buttons. For me, personally, I'm not planning on jumping into a ton of complex combat initially and a gamepad would likely be more than adequate, especially for the non-combat activities, but I would bet it's pretty feasible for a lot of combat as well.

    Looking forward to seeing the game progress

    Albion Online has a great gamepad/controller set-up and use. Targetting is so nice with a controller in that game, so it can be done. It is not as optimal as a kb and mouse, but dang I can play a lot longer and log in more days during the week than if I had to only use a kb and mouse only option.
    I hope Ashes adds some support, even if it sucks its going to be much better than not having it.
    The kb/mouse option will always be there.
