Toggle mouselook in Final Fantasy XIV

Toggle mouselook in Final Fantasy XIV - Woman in White Long Sleeve Dress Sitting Beside Man in White Dress Shirt

Final Fantasy XIV doesn't support mouselook, i.e. where you can turn the camera and the character without holding the right mouse button. What are the possible solutions?



Best Answer

  1. Install AutoHotkey.
  2. Create a file named ff14.ahk with this content:
SetTitleMatchMode, 3

#IfWinActive FINAL FANTASY XIV

; Left Control switch

RmbHold := false
LCtrl::
  RmbHold := !RmbHold
  if RmbHold {
      send {RButton down}
  } else {
      send {RButton up}
  }
return

; Mapping RMB to the controller A/X for easier interaction without a mouse cursor on screen

RButton::
  if RmbHold {
      send {G}
  } else {
      send {RButton down}
  }
return

RButton Up::
  if !RmbHold {
      send {RButton up}
  }
return

; Automatically turn off the RMB-holding on Alt-Tab to avoid messing up other applications

!Tab::
  if RmbHold {
      RmbHold := false
      send {RButton up}    
  }
  send {Alt down}{Tab}
return

!Tab Up::
  send {Alt up}
return
  1. In FF, go to 'System - Keybinds - Gamepad - X Button' (or 'A Button' for Xbox gamepad) and bind it to PgDn (page down key).
  2. Keep ff14.ahk running while you're playing FF.

Now, when in-game:

  1. Pressing Ctrl ingame will toggle between mouselook and having the cursor on the screen, and
  2. Pressing RMB will act like the gamepad's 'X', that is:
    • If you don't have a target selected it will select what's in front of you - both an enemy, a neutral NPC, an interactable world object, etc.
    • If you got a target selected and it's an enemy, it will start autoattacking.
    • If it's an interactable object/NPC it will interact with it.
    • If you're in a dialogue it will skip the current dialogue line.
