Use Mouse in game

[Hannahnas]

Hey there!
This might be a dumb question, I can't seem to get the computer mouse into game... There still is the white arrow on the screen and I can't work with the mouse in game. In FF13 and FF13-2 I had to exit the game via the windows button or Tab+Alt and then reenter and the mouse arrow was gone and I could use it ingame.
Sorry, it is so complicated to explain! :/
I hope someone gets my point :D

Thank you so much in advance! :)

I don't think you can use the mouse ingame, there's a new menu at the top of the screen where you can change options using the mouse. Pretty annoying, because the previous two games worked very well with kb+m.

[Hannahnas]

So there is no way of using the mouse to play ingame? :(

[Dartlak]

At least no obvious one. You'll have to restort to a controller or the ♥♥♥♥♥♥ ijkl keyboard camera controls.

I was quite shocked when I booted it up and saw you couldn't use the mouse, unlike the last two titles. Using the keyboard to control the camera is pure crap. I do hope they patch this.

[Dartlak]

Yeah, it's a serious step back.

[Ness199X]

I was willing to overlook the online requirement for launching, but this is unacceptable. I'm sending a refund request and will consider re-purchasing if they patch in mouse support.

Really really hope they patch it in, like they did with Type-0 HD..

i did what i did with Type0 HD i binded everythign on my naga buttons and its play 10 times better now in combination with a few keyboard buttons

Completely unplayable

It's really my only gripe with this port. Everything else is a big step up from the previous two titles in the series.

I am so glad someone agrees! I loved the controls for XIII and XIII-2 and maybe it's just me but for me Lightning Returns is merely unplayable that way :(

Me too, i just can't understand the move from devs, they could at least say it on the store page.

Step up? The previous ports support 4K resolution and look way better on PC.

This, we are stuck in 1080p in 2015.

I still prefer to play this on PC but come on. This one might run better with less expensive systems but we with high end machines end up getting shafted by not having ability to crank it up like with hte previous titles.

Mouselook support + extra mouse buttons would be so sweet. FFXIII and XIII-2 have pretty good mouse support, and they're also a joy to play with the Steam Controller :D

I am sure they will implement the mouse usability because without its sadly not worth wasting time at all.
I was really looking forward to this title release for PC, but after the first few minutes I got greatly disappointed by such a basic option.
No mouse, no play, refund requested.
