FFXIV is not Dyslexia friendly, can we at least get off "One exchange per lifetime"

I've always thought it was dumb that there was spellspeed & skillspeed, which effectively do the same thing on face value - but they actually don't.
Classes like PLD or RDM that use both spells & weaponskills would effectively get a buff if the stats were merged. Not a big deal, just pointing it out.

As far as naming conventions go, I do agree.. The names of gear could be better, or at least the menus.
It might be unnecessarily convoluted but instead of dumping a bunch of DoW/DoM gear in the same menu, they could simply break the menus up by jobs..
By that I mean they could put all fending gear in one menu, striking in another etc..
It is a little strange that they have all of the gear just dumped into three windows, rather than splitting them up by equipable jobs.

To the OP - as a failsafe, just tell yourself to switch to the class you wish to buy gear for - that way if you make a mistake it will give you a warning (cannot equip on current class etc).

I guess I can do that but again, the mistake happened because casting gear and healing gear being in the same place, causing me to be confused between healing ring and healing brace. (basically i guess another way of saying it, it is easy be overloaded with too many names being so much alike, same with the teleportation menus) So the suggestion to split gear by job or have other means of labeling gear and listing them is to help with that issue so I am looking at one job at a time (like listing all the healing gear together, not doing it now, all heads > all bodies> etc.

Yes I did point out the RDM and PLD thing but I am fairly sure any job that uses both like that and would see a slight buff with combining them into 1 stat like that, tend to be in the low end of benefiting from speed anyways, so combining them and doing other balance adjustments can make haste more wanted. Right now having to meld DH>all for every job cept maybe brd and blm is rather boring.

Change Naming to a few items.
Change colours of items.

That'll help out a lot. Like I said, I can't
see a damn thing with the Darkblue.
All Role items need to have their own colour if they don't wanna
split through windows.

...seemingly severe dyslexia???

Anyway it would be nice to get a trade back system, and the people who'd develop that are most likely not the people who'd fix summoner, but it's still not very likely we'll get this soon. So, for now, try looking at the item type instead of name? Like, bracelet, ring. Trade back option would be easier tho.

It can match the job role (i/e green) not the color around the box to mean "blue gear" (though FFXIV's colors are meaningless, HQ white crafted= HQ green crafted= pink= HQ blue crafted= Green drops= blue drops= blue currency exchanges= green currency exchanges as far as stat weighs, and in some cases pink > all if they are all same ilevel)

So really, the colors have no point in this game, the only time you get a different stat weight for same ilevel is NQ crafted gear and RNG pink gear. Did they just copied that from other games without understanding the point of it? lamo

I'm guessing it had to do with items that don't categorize as easily. For instance, in cases where two jobs have mostly separate armour, but share the same belt, they didn't know where to put the belt if it was sorted by job. For this to work, they'd need to stop thinking of it as a categorization of where to place each item, but instead as a filter of which to show in the list and which to hide. "Just show me the items suitable for job X" doesn't have that issue. A belt used for numerous jobs could be included for each of them.

(It would, however, introduce a difference in the interface between purchasing gear that has job categories, and purchasing other items that don't. Sorting by item type is more universal, since all items have a type.)

Well, it probably wouldn't have helped in that particular instance, since both the healing bracelet and the healing ring would still have both been together in the same section anyway, so you could still have confused them. But there are plenty of similar cases where it would help.

It would, I got confused because of the caster ring and healing ring being together. I was looking for the "last item" but I knew I had t go "one above that " because the tomestone is there. Just now to check this (to make sure that was the case) I had trouble finding where the "magic stuff" was because of how the main menus list items.
https://i.gyazo.com/6eb018c5b6fe840f...1f168ef29a.png

But you are right, the chance of mistake is still there, just spiting them helps to keep track of them easier and lessons the risk. The biggest fix to this would just add the system to refund within 2 hrs like all other mnos in existance?

The text color match the gear's type of origin

White = crafted or from vendors (HQ will have the main stats on cap)
Pink = lv 17-49 dungeons or from Diadem (main stats on cap, second stats are random)
Green = dungeons and special crafting recipes (have a higher ilevel than white gear of the same level)
Blue = Raid gear, token gear (include tomes), primal gear
Purple = Relict

Except Pink (which was new in ARR), those colors were used in that way already in 1.x

Maybe the devs can alow us to change the background color of the windows, like in some older FF games?

No it does not, colors are meaningless in this game. There is also blue crafted.

I do not see why the text has to match the background color since they are meaningless anyway.

How so? White HQ = Blue drop/blue bought by tokens / blue crafted HQ= green drop = green HQ crafted = pink (as far as Damage and main stats)
Other the pink pointing out random sub stats and white NQ/green NQ/blue NQ being under stat totals (btw white NQ= green NQ = Blue NQ) the colors are meaningless. The only thing that has meaning is HQ/NQ difference and they do not differ in color other then a little symbol and border outline. So if I have a crafted blue i250 weapon lets say, it needs be HQ to it have the same stats as blue drops, blue token and white HQ and green HQ will have same stats, etc and a blue NQ will have the same stats as white NQ or green NQ, how in the world do colors have meaning in this game?

But I will accept your idea :3

I have this problem too. I was buying incorrect items from early in the game though so I just got used to the realy awful naming of items and double-triple-quadruple check what I'm clicking on.
Would be excellent if SE just made skill speed and spell speed into one thing like OP suggests.

I tend to give the dev team more credit than that. These guys are pros. They can walk AND chew gum at the same time. If I can successfully balance multiple simultaneous projects in my line of work, even when I'm naturally bad at it, then these guys can implement this without missing a beat or a deadline.

I hope so, be nice for things to be easier to understand. I am still baffled by the material and materials thing for GCs though

I don't know if it helps or not, but "materiel" usually refers to military equipment, whereas materials, are the actual mats.

I agree the names are very similar, icons similar .etc. You don't need to be dyslexic to make that mistake however, I'ts very easy to do if not paying attention.

OP, I think the one mistake forever should be adjusted too. Something like 1 every major patch cycle (x.0, x.2, x.4) would be enough without significantly increasing the GMs workload.

I would suggest regrouping the items for purchase to reduce the frequency of this error type. Right now, they are grouped by character slot (Head, chest, gloves, etc...) . I would just regroup them by role/jobs/main stat (Tank, Healer, Caster, STR/MNK/SAM, DEX/BRD/MCH).

How hard is it - and I'm asking because I genuinely don't know, not because I'm trying to make a point - to implement the ability to sell back to NPCs for the currency you bought it for? It just seems weird to me that if you bought the wrong item from an npc, you can't immediately go right back to that same NPC and exchange it for what you want. If it's a server load issue or something, then sure, put a limit on it, but yeah this once per lifetime limit is absurd.

No idea, I am wondering that too. With this I figured it out within 5 minutes. I was trying to move it in my ring slot and it wasn't working =/. Should do 2 hrs like wow does, there shouldn't be any reason other then they do not want to for some reason.

+1

the recall I used was for 3.3? around there, we are in a new expansion and still follows me? That is BS

No, OP is making a terrible idea here.

Materia is sorted by color due to it's class of stats, and to make those sections of materia easier and quicker to find on MB. Also, trading of items for other items will screw up the games economy big time. Say, I got a Grasp VI materia when I was hoping for a Guile VI. It wouldn't be right to be able to exchange them. One sells for $100k while the other sometimes exceeds $1m.

Not to mention that a quarter of the servers population would have to be given GM access to make all those exchanges, because believe me, if one could trade in a grasp VI or a cunning VI materia for a guile VI or command VI, the whole server would be waiting in line each day to do it!

So extend it to non-tradeable items only. Tradeable items such as materia, keep it so if you buy the wrong one, you sell it on the MB. But let's say you buy the lost allagan coat of healing instead of casting, make it so you can trade that back, as it can't be sold on the marketboard or traded with other players.

Perhaps... But only if it's an unused item, however, it'd just be easier to equip whatever class you intend to buy for, because, then the game will prompt you with a " are you sure you want to make this purchase because you cannot currently use the item." I think, still, what's in place is good enough, because in the gears attributes, it shows what it's for, and if your current class can use it, the class identifier will be in green instead of red.

I also make these arguements being a person of low vision with roughly 10% sight in my good eye of someone with 20/20 vision. If I can get around this hurdle, I'm sure you all can.

There's a small colour change that could easily be missed. And the pop-up warning says the same thing for both whether it's for your class but you lack the level, or for if it's the wrong class. Personally, I wouldn't say that's enough.

You clearly are not understanding. Why would you trade in a cluster to get a "Grasp VI materia" when you want a a "Guile VI" ????

It is NOT EASY! to find on the MB that is the thing! because the names are too alike, the recycled icons, they should be a different color, different name, or simply make it "haste" because skill speed and spell speed do the same thing.

Yeah your clearly not understanding what this thread i talking about.

Last part you are being very insulting, why do people do this? Having vision problems in one eye =/= Dyslexia. It is like injuring your leg really badly and after months of therapy able walk again, only to walk to someone fully paralyzed from waist down saying "you can walk if you try hard enough" majorly insulting.

Of course it isn't. He is commenting without understanding the point of the thread or the issue.

I'm definitely not against the idea of needing/wanting a temporary buyback system on bound goods. To that extent, I do feel it would be nothing but a positive move.

That said however, anything else regarding a shortcoming of being dyslexic is unnecessary. Accountability is a thing. If you mess up, be it due to a disability, natural mistake, or a combination of things, then own up to it. The world will not bend over for you because of your problems. I live with a quadriplegic relative, of whom we all (including him) speak bluntly about the situation. I feel no remorse doing the same here. If he messes up something due to his shortcomings, he's not going to blame someone else for it or expect them to change something that associates with his mistake, assuming it wasn't a wrongful fault of theirs. People without dyslexia are not flawless, and even if you didn't have that, neither would you be. Your own carelessness was at play, but amplified by your shortcoming. Extra precaution should be an expectation for someone in your situation. It's not a matter that you CAN'T get it right, it's that you were understandably careless... no different than your peers, who conversely don't have much of an excuse.

Again, this is not pertaining to the bound buyback system request, of which I do support. This is pertaining to the catering demand being done. That's right, OP was a passive aggressive demand. You don't start off a topic by saying "<insert name> is not friendly to <insert group>" and think some form of attack is not being made. It's a simple breakdown of arguments. Your haste suggestion, for example, has more to it than simple name change and removal of an item. Even in WoW, that haste change required a system/mechanic change to function, as there were things like Spell Haste before. I do think this game would benefit from a combining of the stats to one unified form, akin to WoW, but for gameplay function reasons, rather than simply because the names/image looks the same or similar. It is unfortunate for anyone to have to deal with dyslexia, but unless the game is marketed as such, I wouldn't expect much catering to be done on the matter since it's not an obligation. If you can play this game, then your situation is not as bad as some others would be.

Naming most gear for Disciple of Magic the same thing except for "of Healing" or "of Casting" is honestly a terrible idea. WHY are we forced to double and triple check what the hell we're buying because the names don't differentiate items enough? Like, objectively speaking, this is terrible, terrible user experience design. I don't have any learning disability or disorder and I've messed up in buying the right gear more than once.

And talking about user experience, don't even get me started on all the dumb and unnecessarily complicated steps you have to take in order to get a tome weapon, or in order to upgrade tome gear.

Seriously, there's a LOT of things horribly designed in these menus, it's in the entire playerbase's best interest to be critical about it.


Finally, speaking of things that are horribly punishing for people with some kind of visual disability, some mechanics are awful, and I really do mean awful for colorblind people. One of my close friends ends up awfully frustrated with a bunch of mechanics that differentiate each other through colors because she's colorblind, and it's also usually a mechanic that will outright kill you if you mess it up.

I think we can all agree that there's some things the game could change to provide a better UE. Sticking to what we've had for four years just because is just conforming to mediocre UI design.

To be fair if they didn't have to name 100s of new pieces of gear every 3 months they could be more creative with names.

But unless you want the gear treadmill the slow to a grind, try coming up with lists of names for all this gear consistently. And I think the attributes are actually lacking. I loved XIs system where there were tons of attributes that you had to take into consideration, they have it super simplified already.

Also I don't see any changes in sight for anything like this. They cannot cater to everyone's disability or our characters would stand idly in a vacant field. It would be like me saying, I have clinical depression, please do not add anything sad or dramatic because it makes the game unplayable for me.

A variety makes the game a lil more interesting and like I said, I think they have it very simplified already. Just take care when you are buying, I don't have dyslexia and I triple check before I buy. Especially when the warning box pops up.

... No, that's exactly how one should start a topic, because it lends support to the idea of improving something. "Hey, this feature really harms the user experience for this group of users" is valuable input.

Your first paragraph is a bit mind-blowing. Would you tell your quadriplegic relative to just suck it up and they should try harder next time when they try to walk but can't? That's essentially what you're saying to someone with severe dyslexia when you say to just be less "careless" (incredibly rude).

Guys. forget all the disability aspect of this thread and focus on this:

Does the game need a buyback feature? Cuz it sounds like if the game had one, threads similar to this (as in "I bought this by mistake" and not "this is unfriendly to "insert disability here) would not show up often.

I know I'd welcome it. I play SWTOR and I can say having nearly 2 days to get a refund from a vendor for almost all different currencies used to buy an item is a godsend.

Taking another page from WoW, it could work the same. When you purchase an item, you have a certain amount of time before you can turn it back in for the amount of currency you spent. But it could become void once materia is slotted or something.

Many things are not Dyslexia friendly you know.....like MANY video games! It's basically not needed to be said, but when you state it like how the OP did, it kind of comes off as 'how dare it not be better suited for me, for shame!'

There's also the fact that when you hover over an item, you can see what stats are on it. Mind and Intelligence are two hugely different words in meaning and how many letters are in them, even so I've bought the wrong item for my Scholar a few times in the past with weekly currency due to not paying attention.


But there's some things that can be improved, yes..... one thing that might be able to work for class gear, is giving us a setting to unshrink the size of class names on items, so it'd be like Red Mage instead of RDM, since every class is shortened to 3 letters.


And about the materia....

Did anyone here see the bad materia system they had back in 1.X? You could have different stacks of the same rank materia, but each one had different values.

'Most materia has four possible stat values for each tier, meaning a total of 16 possible stats per materia; However, some materia have fewer stat variations.' - Aka 4 versions of the same rank materia because of differing values

http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/M...sy_XIV)/Legacy - Scroll down to the materia stuff. It was terrible in 1.X. Not to mention if you failed to overmeld an item, it broke forever. Item would go poof~

I still like the fact that stats are colour coded for materia. The Main 5 Stats are light blue, gathering is green, crafting is blue and so on.... though what the OP is suggesting and making Skill/Spell speed the same thing, I don't agree with.

I DO agree that it could be possibly annoying for someone who is dyslexic to see the difference when they have the same amount of lettters in the words. So why not just take the colour of the unused PvP materia and re-purpose it?

Make the PHYSICAL Speed be the orange materia. Make the MAGIC Speed be the purple materia.

There's honestly no reason not to have a regulated refund option on token purchases, or a once every 30 days item restoration.
These features would not impact balance between classes, progression in the game or imbalance in the markets... the only reason not to have the features would be an unwillingness/inability to put it into the game.

Agreed 110%.

I've had a few occasions where I purchased the wrong item (sometimes they looked similar or had nearly identical names) and I would kick myself for not paying attention. But at the end of the day it was my own fault for goofing. We already have windows that pop up for confirmation on gear if we can't currently equip, maybe add another "Are you sure?" window for things considered high-end. Personally I'd find that annoying but at least it would take the main excuse people throw around for situations like this

In SE defense. I don't think I ever seen a game that is Dyslexia friendly. Every game has its name conventions. WOW. FFXIV. RIFT and so one. Even single player games do, so honestly its not discrimination. Its just the way games are made.

"It's not my fault I selected the wrong item, it's their fault I selected the wrong item."
"I made a mistake, but it isn't my fault!"


Huh! Alright!

Hey guys, those times I caused a wipe weren't my fault alright? I know I made a mistake, but it wasn't my fault.

They're a big company. I'm PRETTY sure they have different teams with different specialist areas.

I can get behind that. People make mistakes at times and having a feature where you can sell an item back, say for a couple hours, as long aa its not equipped would be welcome. Most other MMOs have it, so It's not a huge deal.

As fun as FFXIV is, they are definitely behind the times on certain features that have become standard in most of today's MMOs (glamour window, for example).
