 Worldy, sorry I'm not going to be any help on this one, but I am also wanting to know if the control scheme can be altered.  I tried to play FFXI, and just absolutely could not get beyond the control scheme.  It's sad, because I love the idea of Final Fantasy Online.

Yes, there is.  I actually prefer the laptop keyboard controls to the normal ones anyways.  Here's how to change it:

In the game open the menu, hit -> to change to the second menu.  Go to Config and then I think Gameplay.  There should be different categories include Misc 1 and Misc 2.  Go to Misc 2.  In this window there is a controls option for Normal or Compact.  Set it to Compact.  You will now move with ASDW and the camera with the arrow keys.

I hated the controls when I first played FFXI too.  eventually I picked up a controller, set it to the default settings, and instantly loved the menu-based UI

a simple ps2 controller really does make the game better IMO

Seconded. A xbox controler also can be used to play.

Indeed, a controller works perfect for this game ;)
