| [dev1097] Newly Added Control Config
Greetings!
Below is some information from Producer Hiromichi Tanaka in regards to the newly added control config.
Hiromichi Tanaka said: I’d like to take a moment and talk about the below items regarding the newly added control config. (see below)
| ■ | | Overview of newly added control config
We’ve added new control config for keyboard and mouse. These new control methods will work with laptop PCs and other keyboards that don't include numpads as well as general 2 button mouses with a wheel.
Players will be able to select from the below three types of methods to control their character, camera movement, and menu.
Standard: Keyboard (normal) and mouse
Compact 1: Keyboard (compact) and mouse
Compact 2: New added configuration that supports mice with wheels, as well as expanded movement via keyboard keys and mouse.
*It will be possible to select the above three options in game by accessing the main menu and going to “Config” →”Misc. 2.” |
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It will be possible to control your character in the below two ways when selecting option three listed above.

Almost worth using the new control format even with a non-compact keyboard.
