So in Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition, the combat controls are kinda awkward: you switch between Arts with Left D-Pad
and Right D-Pad
, but at the same time you also control your movement with the Left Joystick
. Both actions are controlled by your left thumb, so they are effectively mutually exclusive: when you are switching your Arts, you cannot move, and vice versa.
One fairly common solution to this is to remap Left D-Pad
to ZL
and Right D-Pad
to ZR
.
This allows you to switch Arts while moving, very nice!
However now the menu navigations are very weird; moving left and right is ZL
and ZR
, not the Left D-Pad
and Right D-Pad
anymore, especially when you can also move up and down in the menu as well — you just naturally hit Left D-Pad
and Right D-Pad
but that does the wrong thing.
Wouldn't it be nice if the remap can be done only for combat...
