[Comparison] IMO Camera Distance or FoV Should Be Increased
Made redit post about this. Thought I would mirror it here:

Ever since I started playing this game I felt like the camera was a little claustrophobic, and now that I'm doing a lot more endgame content for the first time, its really starting to bother me. The effects in this game already hurt my eyes after playing for a while and being zoomed in on them doesn't help. Especially for melee.
For comparison (Pretend the Atheryte and the Tree are bosses):

Obviously I don't play this far back all the time

With tilt that I would usually play at if the boss is huge
Tilting the camera helps be also makes see what is underneath your feet harder.
I also want to add, that WoW, on top of being able to zoom out for miles, has a fish-eye like lens effect which gives you a more comfortable view imo.

Tree is a lot wider just by turning the camera
In FF this effect seems to be a lot weaker. Although it is hard to make a 1 to 1 comparison here.
I'm just curious if anyone else felt this way, or am I the only one bothered by it. I did see a few other posts on reddit and the forums about this but not many.
The gpose camera already has a FoV slider, so it seems like a option they could add in pretty easily
