I'm aware that this is a shot in the dark, but I'd like to issue a formal plea for an option to disable weather effects.
By all rights, I shouldn't even be able to play this game. If it weren't for the option to disable battle effects, I wouldn't be able to look at the screen without puking. As it is, I'm able to play the game pretty comfortably, aside from nauseating weather effects (and passage of arms, which I have to pray no one ever uses because for some reason it's entirely necessary for me to witness its splendor). If I enter a zone where it's raining or snowing, I have to leave the zone until the weather subsides. This has impacted my ability to progress in MSQ and on most days I choose to stay in my comfort zone, crafting quietly by a marketboard with my character screen up to shield me from the flashing lights.
Last night I went to visit one of my favorite market boards in Ul'dah, when suddenly I was blindsided by Christmas. Let me tell you, it's bad enough that it happens in real life - and like most people, I play games to escape real life. Suddenly it's snowing in every one of my safe zones, and I can't wait it out, because it won't go away.
So here I am to issue a formal plea to the devs. I might be one of the few brain-damaged people who plays this game, but I can't be the only person who suffers from vertigo. I would love to see an accessibility feature allowing weather effects to be disabled.
