These controls...... (also how to do cheats?)

[gandhi_the_peacemaker]

God, these controls suck. You'd think it would be easy as pie to get this control scheme to work on PC, but noooooooooooope.

How do you pause on m/k? What's the Start equivalent, and why can't it be remapped?

Can you remap WASD? I'd normally use them, but since I'm playing all on keyboard, it would be nice to have my fingers all resting on home row. ESDF is just as comfortable to use.

Is there a program/script to start along with the game that remaps controls? I want Select to not be 1.

Alt+F4 or going through the Config menu to exit the game is the absolute worst.

Sorry for all the questions. This port is just incredibly frustrating. The lack of original UI doesn't help. How do you switch between ready characters, or is that no longer supported? "Cards" button only disappears the menu, and "Menu" button doesn't do anything.

Lastly, how do I access the booster options? The Config menu gives you the infinite gil/max AP/mastered all skills boosters, but I bought this game explicitly for the ability to fast forward... or is that only in-battle? (♥♥♥♥ this game if it is.)

What a shame, for such a good game to get such a half-assed port.

So answering some of my own questions:

Pause = Backspace
Can't remap Up/Down/Left/Right (WASD), Pause (Backspace), (Enter), (Esc).
F1 = Game speed up
F2 = Battle assist (always full ATB/Trance, full HP/MP)
F3 = Attacks do 9999 damage
F4 = Zero random encounters
F5/F6/F7 = Config menu boosters (abilities mastered, max level/stones, max gil)

Thanks, SE. Couldn't have just included that manual in the game, could you?

Ideally, I'd like this control scheme:

A = L1, rotate camera
Q = L2, fix camera
S = Left
D = Down
E = Up
F = Right

H = Square, Card/Hide battle UI/Moogle
J = X (American)/O (Japanese), Talk/Confirm
K = O (American)/X (Japanese), Cancel/Run
I = Triangle, Menu/Switch characters
L = R2, change camera
; = R1, rotate camera
P/Enter = Start, Pause
Tab = Select, Info

Space = Toggle speed

Still no insight on a program to remap keybindings for a specific game. New question: How to get back to main menu in-game (ie soft reset)? They couldn't have just added in an overlay menu with Esc that lets you toggle the booster options, reset to main menu, and quit game?

Come the frick on.

Hey..
How did you change keybindings ??

Well, it's a tricky thing, because some buttons can't be changed, but to change those that can be, go to the in-game menu (earliest possible opportunity is after the opening cinematic, when you start controlling Zidane).

Go to the Config menu.

Set Controls to "Custom," then press Enter.

Press Backspace once you're done configuring buttons, then the new Cancel button to exit the button mapping menu.

It's such terrible game design.

EDIT for some notes:

Pause (ie Start button on controller) is always mapped to Backspace.

Confirm is always alternatively mapped to Enter, regardless of what you change it to. On the title screen, the game reverts to default controls, so unless you remember the default control scheme, use Enter to start/continue/load games.

Help (ie Select button on controller) is always mapped to 1, as in the Number One.
