Final Fantasy XIVfan and content creator SuperLouis64 is splashing paint on paper with a custom controller to attack enemies in Square Enix’s beloved MMO. The color of paint with thisFinal Fantasy XIVpaintbrush controller determines which skill is used for the Pictomancer Job; it’s absolutely genius.
When SuperLouis64 brushes blue onto the surface of paper on an easel,Final Fantasy XIVqueues up the “Holy in White” attack. It makes thematic sense as the Pictomancer is a new class fromDawntrailthat uses a paintbrush as a weapon.
“I spent the weekend prototyping a Paintbrush controller for Pictomancer and I finally cracked the code!!” wroteSuperLouis64 on X. “I ended up going with the plan of having the player scan colors of paint and then literally PAINT to use the ability.”
The content creator says there’s a lot left to build, but the “prototype is amazing.” It’s likely thisFinal Fantasy XIVpaintbrush controller will see its way to completion, as this isn’t the first time SuperLouis64 has built a strange input for the game. He has previously made agunblade controller made from NERF, where you shoot darts to fire at enemies and then use motion controls to swing the sword. Additionally, he’s been able to punch foes usingboxing gloves with the Monk class.
Those aren’t the craziest things that SuperLouis64 has done in the realm of gaming. We previously covered this content creator beatingElden Ringboss Godrick with a controller made from bananas.
Another amazing feat from the gaming community includes a feat from CarcinogenSDA, who rapidly beatResident Evil 2 Remakewithout taking any damageduring Games Done Quick 2024.
