They need to change back the emote wheel and consumable bar (controller)

[Sono]

One of the biggest things I noticed in Remnant II is how the emote wheel and the hotbar for consumables work. For emotes, you need to hold down on the d pad, hold a direction with right stick, press RB on a sub menu, and then do it again. This is very slow and makes me rather not use emotes. Remnant 1? Just hold the right stick and pick a direction. you can assign emotes to different directions. You don't need to pull a button combo just to wave.

The consumable hotbuttons are the worst, you need to hold LB and then one of the face buttons for your consumable. This is already more inputs required then what they had in Remnant 1, which was simply press a cardinal direction on the dpad, intuitive, fast, and you're never touching the d pad unless you're using a consumable. LB and the face buttons have multiple functions, so its EXTREMELY easy to accidentally use a consumable when evading attacks and activating skills, making you whiff and possibly killing you right there. Or vice versa, the game does have a habit of eating inputs and making you do something else.

Grenades are to be used in a pinch so having to do two inputs is awkward rather then just pressing a dpad direction. So much so most people don't bother using consumables at all, that being grenades or the short duration buffs.

The right stick press isn't even used for anything other than scope(which like, 3 or 4 total weapons have), which is redundant, as scope can still be activating by double pressing LT. At least give us the option of different layouts, and the option to just do consumables via a press of the dpad.
