Option to switch off War aura effect for photosensitive players

Ngl, the more effects they remove (from DRK aura to DRG aura), the more I realize how every job loses a bit of what made them aesthetically unique to me. I hope WAR doesn't go that route, and prefer a toggle for players who don't like that effect. Playing Dragoon ever since we lost the blue aura effect felt so off since the aura was like a mini transformation for me aesthetically and felt nice to activate. Level 50 Dragoon just felt like a lancer to me, and Level 52 onwards actually felt like a job that was infused with the power of the dragon with that aura buff rather than a lancer that used techniques like a dragon. Ever since the aura was removed, the job just felt so different to me that I couldn't particularly go back to it even though the gameplay remained perfectly the same.

Does changing your character's graphics from Full to Limited remove it?

Hilariously, not even setting 'own battle effects' settings to OFF, let alone Limited, removes it, or even reduces it. As you can see here, the Apply button is greyed out, so the settings seen here are the ones currently active. It's not even a good looking aura, it's probably the worst looking one in the game, a true relic of 2.0/3.0 VFX design

It was a nice concept, but the effect is dated (10 years old in a few months) and Inner Release's animation already illustrates the 'maximum rage' effect. It should either get a graphics update and a toggle, or just be left out entirely.

I would love to be able to toggle this off even in combat. I am photosensitive and this effect isn't the worst offender but I'd be more comfortable without it. And in general I would love to be able to turn down some of the flashiness in this game so that I don't have to avoid certain fights. As an option ofc, not arguing to limit others' ability to watch all the pulsating fireworks they like.

At least make it activate at 50 gauge or above, as a visual 'I'm angry enough to Fell Cleave' indicator, having it activate off of a combo'd Maim is kinda weird. But if it were to flare up after hitting 50 gauge, it'd also be like a lingering effect after Infuriate which would look cool(er). Though they'll probably just remove it entirely like they did for BOTD, Greased Lightning, Darkside, etc. Maybe they'll do something with that extra VFX RAM budget it'd free up
