Hello
I know that this won't get any recognition as a post, as is the usual for most games regarding accessibility. I had contacted already to a GM but asked to post to the forums so apologies if this is not in the correct place.
I'm having some really quite upsetting issues regarding the game and some achievements I have worked hard on but can now no longer complete due to my physical limitations. I find the game on the most part to be calm and easy due to reasonable gcd and no crazy button pressing. I have pain issues and when I make lots of movements with my hands for a prolonged time consistently they seize and are painful. An example of some negative feedback i have received by players is using a macro to say "hello, im new" at the start of a duty and told im not authentic for doing so regardless of using them because they help with my disabilities, so please understand my hesitancy in posting this.
Overall I can play for hours and be fine as again its easy casual button presses, except ps4 chat typing limits, that is until I have tried doing the kugane tower jump puzzle. I have gained sightseeing logs and completed all Heavensward and stormblood except the 2 associated with the tower. I have tried almost daily but everyday my hands are in pain trying to consistently motion around the tower with this problem. I know many might read this and think its pathetic which is a shame, as I wouldn't wish chronic pain on anyone, especially when it causes you to be home bound and gaming is my only means of escape.
Overall, I am now stuck where my very real disabilities are quite seriously preventing me from completing these that I have worked so hard on. I understand challenges in game and many I cant complete and that is OK, but sightseeing? It may be a unique situation but I am entirely unsure where to go from here. I ask please be kind on this and try to walk a day in my shoes so to speak. I hope that a dev or someone can maybe offer insight or how I can resolve this, or am I to stop trying to earn achievements entirely if they are not accessible?
Thanks for listening.
