I created my chotbars to be comfortable, practical, and aesthetic.(to me anyway) Nearly all same/similar skills are in the same position across all jobs/roles while allowing for as little finger gymnastics as possible.
My XHB is split between chotbars 2(left) and 7(right)

the number macros are Aetherial Manipulation macros to part members but they prioritize anyone who's already targeted. The potion on bar 2 is Super-Ether. The potion on bar 5 is an int tincture. The bread is the food I'm using. The speech bubble is my greeting macro. the checkmark is my farewell macro. The ! is my "I have aggro" macro.

Hey everyone! This is my pvp hotbar for my bard! Since some these actions can only be cast under the effect of repertoire ill note what the normal buttons are (they dont seem to be available in the icon page
Blast Arrow -> Apex Arrow | Empyreal Arrow -> Harmonic Arrow | Pitch Perfect -> Powerful Shot | Final Fantasia -> Encore of Light |

Right side of LT/RT for instant cast actions, to make movement easier. Left side for things with cast timers and Scenic Muse, which has a long cooldown.
RT, RT for actions that are used less frequently (or that I haven't unlocked and don't have a home for yet). LT, LT is the standard layout for my ranged/caster DPS classes.

The Glamour Plate button is being used in place of the newly added skill as needed, and the dye represents potion. Sprint and LB are macroed to L3/R3 respectively.

SGE 7.0
General notes:
- "Main" hotbar is RT
- Frequently used abilities or important ones to use while moving go on the face buttons
- AoE versions of things go on expanded hotbar
- Only using one expanded hotbar so no LT>RT vs. RT>LT confusion during combat
- Infrequently used abilities go on WXHB
- Star button on WXHB is a focus target macro
Sage-specific notes:
- Sage has lots of single-target vs. AoE abilities, so placement on expanded hotbar mirrors this (Dosis/Dyskrasia, Diagonosis/Prognosis, Taurochole/Kerachole, Druochole/Ixochole, Haima/Panhaima)
- Philosophia placement mirrors that of Soteria (LT vs. LT-LT)
- Krasis on d-pad down to make it easy to cycle down to the tank and target them for it (down, down, RT+down)
- Remember to adjust your party list job priority!
- Zoe and Pneuma next to each other since they usually get used together
- Eukrasia on WXHB is a macro to turn it off
- Speech button on WXHB is a macro to indicate Swiftcast cooldown (i.e., when I will attempt to res again)

Hotbar 1: White mana on the left side, black mana on the right side. Single target above, AoEs below. Both/neutral down the middle. I used to put acceleration on Hotbar 3, but it's better this way for quick succession to the relevant actions.
Hotbar 2 (ctrl): The 1-2-3 melee combo on top. I usually have my gap close/make on those two middle positions. Sleep, lucid, cure, and the DPS buff are just rollovers from my old hotbar as Summoner, my first job, and that was before I put more thought into hotbar setups. AoE and run+gun spenders on the bottom row.

Althea's Picto Layout
A first run of a layout, influenced by my SMN and RDM layouts. ST on hotbar one, AoE on hotbar 2, other stuff on 3. I usually sit on either hotbar 1 or 2, depending on my needs, and switch between them with the R1 bumper.
Tweaked on 7/28/2024 - I added Rainbow Drip to the main two bars because it has a proc mechanism at times - you need to see that, not have it hidden on third bar!
Picto Controller Layout
Just tried my best have a good flow that made sense. I put the painting actions on dpad and regular attack actions on face buttons this helped me most to have a good muscle memory flow and have painting and attacks be separated and bounce between them. Also made sure to have all painting actions in the same spot for muscle memory so creature will always be left, weapon bottom center, and scenery is always on the right.

EZ Weaving and Positionals on Controllers
All important combo GCDs and oGCDs are on the face buttons for max mobility while weaving/doing positionals
I tend to put AOEs on the D-pad since they aren’t as important but Viper actually has more AOE GCDs than most jobs, so Pit of Dread (aoe Twinblade starter) was able to get a spot on the R2 + Square since there was real estate.
Easy Viper
Easily distinguish between your 'left' and 'right' dual blade combos and your twinblade combos, even making our reawaken phase as simple as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Keybinds: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, Q, E, R, T, F, M4, M5 (+ Shift / Ctrl for Hotbars 2/3)

Role actions are consistent among my layouts, and so are general actions. The macro icon is a placeholder for a Tincture/Gemdraught.

How To Use This Planner
Creating the perfect hotbar interface setup in Final Fantasy XIV Endwalker using a controller is clunky and time-consuming. This simulator allows you to plan out your hotbar layouts using a web-based drag-and-drop interface to simulate different configurations before commiting it to your controller HUD in-game.
Select a FFXIV Job/Class
Choose from and plan your hotbars for any of the FFXIV Jobs
Toggle between FFXIV Hotbar layouts
Simulate either a Cross Hotbar (XHB) or standard Hotbars layout.
Drag and Drop Actions to Slots
Slot any of the Combat and Role actions for your selected Job, as well as any Menu Command, Macros, and other Actions.
Export to a Macro and Share With Others
Once you’re done configuring your Final Fantasy XIV Endwalker hotbar layout, save or share your layout with the generated URL. You can also export your layout to a macro that you can use to import your layout into the game.
