Dissapointing keyboard controls
The default keybindings are just stupid. WASD to move and navigate the menues, cannot use or rebind the ARROW KEYS. Some menues confirm with SPACE BAR, other with ENTER. Some menues are quit with ESC, other with BACKSPACE. It feels like nobody beta tested this game with keyboard to tell them how ♥♥♥♥♥♥ it felt to play with keyboard.

This game is a 2D RPG with basic controls and should be fully playable with keyboard yet they decided to make the most complicated and ugly keyboard configuration possible and thought everyone was supposed to play with a controller

just use wasd and confirm with left click and back with right click.

^ Yeah use the mouse. Left and right click becomes very intuitive and it's actually one of the better M+K JRPG control schemes I've seen to be honest.

There's always Autohotkey if you really want arrow keys.

Why do I have to use 3rd party software to enjoy basic keyboard controls?
Why do I need to use mouse for a game that doesn't really needs it?
Can't you realize that the keyboard support for this $60 game is just horrendous?

Because it would take you less time than it took to ♥♥♥♥♥ about it?

Real Octochad got a gamepad.
Playing like a dream over here, with vibration!

I started the demo with my Dualsense but the last few hours I was playing K+M just fine.
I'm not realizing what isn't an issue on my end.
You've been given solutions, I use autohotkey for many things.
I dunno what more you want us to say?

We've been over this, real Chads use Rock Band instruments. UltraGigaChads use the Nintendo run pad.

I've been playing videogames for decades and never experienced such horrendous keyboard controls as these. The funny thing is that some of you really believe that using Autohotkey (which is 3rd party software) is the correct solution. People are completely nuts and lost any sense of quality.

The fact that the Arrow Keys cannot be rebind for a $60 game on 2023 should be concerning at minimum, I don't think there's place for discussion here.

You play video games for decades yet you never touch a controller?
Sounds nuts to me.

Can't you see I bought this game for PC or are you just stupid?

A PC game doesn't mean it should be played with just KB+M.
Now that's stupid.

Right, this game has such a complicated control scheme it should only be enjoyable with controller, correct?

Indeed, now play it with a controller, like it's meant to be.
Stop being stupid!

You look like a fanboy who cannot understand that Square Enix support for their PC ports has been just horrendous and this is just another proof. PC games should be playable with keyboard and mouse. This game has no special needs for controller. Can't you see even indie RPGs have better keyboard support? Not being able to use Arrow Keys is just unnaceptable.

Again, K+M over here, you know, the native PC controls.
You seem to be glossing over these responses for some reason though.
