I'm disabled, physically and mentally. I love this game, love the story, both msq and sidequests, love the dungeons, raids and trials, etc, but the one part of the game I have grown oh so sick and tired of is the solo duties.
I find it difficult to contrate on too many things at once, or to notice/respond to things quickly, or to remember complex instructions. It sucks, but it's the way my brain has always been. It's not gonna change. I can't just "get better at the game", it's called a disability for a reason.
I can handle all the trials and raids, etc. because I have other players who can do the things I can't and pick up the slack where I fail. I don't get this benefit in solo duties. Instead, I am consistently forced into situations where I get stressed out and frustrated because I cannot do what the game is expecting of me, and I am constantly bashing my head against a brick wall. I am close to the end of Endwalker, and now I have to control a character who is a class I am entirely unfamiliar with and plays completely differently to my Bard because fuck me, apparently. To make it worse, even if I levelled the same class, it wouldn't matter cos the solo duty gives the character I am controlling different abilities, so I can't learn that way, either.
This is an accessibility issue, not a "git gud" issue. All I want is to be able to invite another player to help me in these missions. It's not a massive ask, but it would help so much.
It's bad enough that they are this frustrating, but it's even worse when they are a part of the msq, so you are forced to keep struggling or never progress with the story.
