Level 89 Event - Light Sensitivity

I am not sure where to bring this up, I did open a ticket for it too in the general sense. However, the level 89 trial almost put me in the hospital.

It is the worst sort of light sensitivity episode I've ever seen in a videogame, let alone FF14 itself. Considering the nature of the fight I have no idea how this could be resolved. I was only able to clear it by turning my monitor down to almost 0 brightness and in game gamma to 0 as well and even then, it left me scrambling for my migraine medication.

The level 81 dungeon was also particularly bad. I've never run into this much content with these issues in 14 before and it's frustrating to have no way to provide accessibility feedback.

If this is the wrong place to post this sort of issue, please let me know where to do so. I have a pretty good feeling I'm not the only one with issues.

I think it could be helpfull so i'll push you, though i'm not even sure this is the correct place in the forum for this but that shall be up for the mods to decide.

maybe square could add some setting like "reduce max brightness" where people could slightly "dim" effects considered especially bright and blinding ? don't know how feasible that is and would probably take some work, but considering they allready do offer accessability options for other things it's at least worth a suggestion considering some people, even if a clear minority do actually physically suffer from situations like that.

I don't really have light sensitivity issues often, but a max brightness option would be so good. Some nights where I'm hardcoring the game and up late in the a.m. have given me some unpleasant eyeprises ever so often.
