Yes, I get the funny bright VFX are great. They're flashy. They're cinematic in some cases - but there's a point where when you've been getting those flashes at a constant rate that it essentially causes eye strain.
And, yet again, I'm going to point at Kefka for this very instance because it is the fight with the most visual flashbangs than any other fight in the game.
- Phase 1 has two(Light of Judgment).
- Phase 2 Forsaken has flashbang after flashbang after flashbang after flashbang after flashbang after flashbang after flashbang after flashbang after flashbang(the exact number of flashbangs is 9 in that phase, btw; spam was intentional).
- Phase 4 has five in a row.
And here I thought Zelenia was bad. I was starting to get eye strain from doing this fight for so long both in PF and with static tonight, that maybe they need to learn to pull back on VFX a bit so that we're not getting flashbanged so hard we might as well be blinded. That, or make a setting that actually *reduces* the flashbang effects that can be adjusted so that folks can actually not get that eye strain that's not caused by Dawntrail's story being an eye sore.
But honestly I just think it'd benefit the game as a whole if their accessibility settings were actually useful instead of folks having to flock elsewhere so they can play the game(I hear you, colorblind folks). So please, can we update accessibility settings to make this game better for both colorblind and folks with eye strain caused by very bright VFX?
