Dawntrail has really upped the vfx, and while it is a very beautiful game and I've always loved the visuals, it finally got to a point in the Windurst raid where I felt I could not continue playing to my best ability due to the screen effects and visuals. I first noticed motion sickness during the Sphene trial at the end of 7.0 where the floor tuns black with a green grid showing where the aoe will hit, but the alliance raid has taken it to a new level with the vfx throughout the raid and the clear floor + planet below during the second to last boss fight. I would also say the final boss was really tough on my eyes but they were already to the point of heavy strain that I didn't really know what was going on in the final fight.
