Yup it is lol. Wow might not work the same, but FFXI was originally on console and has console like controls. It's actually easier to play it with a pad than m&k.

ohh interesting. that makes more sense than WoW where even a keyboard doesn't have enough buttons.

Yeah XI also had a neat system where the game would auto translate between Japanese and English since the servers were merged between JP and USA so you could use a soft keyboard and type in keywords like "combat" or "magic" and it would auto complete and translate, to make up for the lack of a keyboard a lot of ps2 users faced.

that seems... exploitable... hahaha. how long did it take before people were using it to send banned words around?

Curses are censored iirc but yeah there was ways around it.
