If having an on-screen cursor and moving it around with the analog stick is called "free cursor" navigation, what do you call the old way of doing stuff? e.g. pressing up/down/left/right moves you between different navigable screen elements

@_benui "reliable"

Sevenstark,

@_benui The comedy option would be 'precursor navigation', I'm sorry I don't have anything constructive to add.

@_benui I used to call it "tab navigation" on PC because tabs...

But "element navigation" seems good.

FFXVI does "free cursor" and it's probably the worst part of that game.

nicmagnier,

@_benui focus navigation

deliciousbees,

@_benui direction selection. alternate names for free cursor controller navigation across buttons are “Destiny navigation”, “a little crime as a lazy treat”, and “the Paul Fitts grave rolling over simulator”
