Oh...

yeah, of course smartphones/tablets CAN use controllers, and since maaaany many years ago, for sure. I don't know about iphones, but Androids? They are Linux systems, baby: Huge driver support there.

I could never managed to use a Switch "pro-controller" made by Hori (not a "normal" pro-controller by Nintendo or cheap one by thirds, but one with a gyroscope inside) in Windows 10. I can swear I searched deeply for PC drivers, official or unnofficial, or ANY other way to make it work: Windows always natively detected it, even using its name, BUT DID NOT WORKED AT ALL NEVER, wathever I did. The only case I can remember I found NO solution at all with one controller in Windows.

But it worked instantaneously in my Android phone via Bluetooth.

Problem with phone games are... I will NEVER play phone games or phone emulators, with controllers, outside home. Is not even easy to do just for physical inconvenience in many situations. Just that. But maybe I'm just me and many do now, so... Ok.

So you have a lot of experience in MMORPG. OK
MMORPG are a huge timesink? YES. but they can be much more fun to play than a 1 player time sinking game (they already exists). I mean, I'm not an expert in MMORPG, I "really" never played anything else than both FF, and I'm not active anymore, so... that's what I can tell. But when I played an MMORPG (FFXI, or FFXIV), I only played that game, for sure.

Not sure about the Hori controllers but I know the official controllers all work.

But ya, I'll be trying out FFXIV in the future, just want to catch up on a few other games (Persona 5, FFXVI, FFVII Remake duology, etc) before I jump into that lol.
