(Haven't gotten any sleep yet so this is unfinished.)
* The entry listed as STEP will change to Dive Roll if you are a ranger, and Mirage Escape if you are a Force
* The button layout may change based on your controller brand.
An alternate control layout is available (TPS Style Layout) where the attack and photon arts button moves to the L2 / R2 position like in shooter games. Additionally based on each of the three battle styles (Striking, Range, and Force) you can set the default control layout and any additional settings you want in the options page.
Oh my gosh what does this all mean? Well there's two modes, Mouse Mode which lets your mouse do all the attacking, and Camera Mode which lets your mouse just control the camera when there's no menu or windows open. I recommend using Mouse Mode for TPS style for precise control.
If you want to change modes press the [T] Key
