I would like to thank the dev team for making Savage raid colourblind friendly

Thank you, the dev team have an awareness for colour blindness ,by making colour mechanics have shapes in addition to colours ,Like for p2s kampeos or p1s intemperance ,it easier for colour blind people.


Thank you,

Yeah but it's not

There are different types of colour blindness. So maybe the game is just fine for some but much less so for others.

I only see red in this raid tier...

I mean, they try. They just don't always hit the mark, and sometimes it feels like for every P1[N|S] Intemperance (with the spinny fire/ice markers that make things a little more clear), we seem to get a P3[N|S], where the mechanics are like "red on orange, with bonus yellow sometimes" and make even non-colorblind people squint and/or curse.

(That said, they usually are pretty good about changing things after the fact when people point out the issue; witness a number of changes to Bozjan critical engagements to make mechanics less invisible.)

Please look forward to it.

Unfortunately, the dev team has a bad habit of putting similar color shades on top of each other. A friend of mine struggled a lot with E10S due to her poor eyesight. She simply couldn't see the black triangle marker, on top of the black tether which was attached to the black boss. A shade of purple or red to break up that color stream would have helped immensely. Likewise, P3S suffers from red on top of orange with yellow tethers.

It's lovely that the developers take notice and add shapes in addition a color difference to ease identification for many people with colourblindness, or otherwise impaired vision.

Just to further increase awareness of a useable feature, even though you likely know of it, is the accessibility settings.
Under system configuration > accessibility settings there are color adjustments for colourblindness. Fiddling with those settings might produce an image that on your monitor makes it easier to differentiate the mechanics. (I am not colourblind myself, but I have found them useful in certain content to more easily identify things. Particularly when playing on a screen with poor colour reproduction)

It's worth noting that apparently the Playstation version does not support the colorblindness functionality, presumably because the game is doing something like using Windows monitor profiles (which wouldn't exist under the Playstation's OS) to skew the color in a calculated manner. So unfortunately, that only applies to the PC version of the game, so far as I know. Admittedly, that might have changed; I haven't checked the menus on the PS version in a while.

Looking at the game manual and switching between windows/PS/mac you appear to be correct. https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/game_manual/config/

It's unfortunate that that feature is seemingly not available on PlayStation consoles. That might be something to take into consideration if you have vision that might be impacted by this.

PlayStation here , I was surprised it wasn’t there and seems there is no plan to add it anytime soon,so at least they are trying to mitigate it with shape and colours.

Don't try to do P3S as a Summoner even if you aren't colorblind

This is a troll post right

To be quite honest, I struggle with every post-Heavensward raid simply because my eyesight is terrible. Now that I'm getting older, my eyes can either be corrected to nearsightedness or farsightedness with no good setting in between. For that reason, I miss all kinds of tells. The only way I ever raid successfully these days is with my 22 year old daughter watching over my shoulder and pointing out all the crap that I'm missing. I still can't see half the mechanics she calls out. Watching guides helps a little because they point out exactly what I should be looking out for, and then I can correlate the blurs in the background to the expected mechanic. Sometimes the mechanics are downright counterintuitive. The giant robot rearing his left arm back for a punch is blatantly obvious, but what do I do when his eyes go red and all his guns start flashing in a seemingly random fashion? Usually I just follow the crowd in those scenarios, but often that just means I'm left at the top of a pile of dead players who also had no idea what to do.

I'm not colorblind and my eyes hurt on P3S during tornadoes especially when the 1-2-3 line slices go off. It's even more of a mess when the targeted line AoEs go off but at least that's something you don't have to look at unless something went wrong and you wish to figure out what that was.

Haven't touched raids, barring that of Eden's Verse, and even then I'm pretty much standing by the stance that I will not touch them again. Personally, I don't feel the colour-blindness accessibility component is entirely there for me in terms of encounter design.

This raid tier is absolutely not colourblind friendly.

Sincerely, a colourblind SGE progging P3S.

Seconded. I actually had to tweak my monitor in order to see a thing in the fire tornadoes phase, it's quite disconcerting.

If you play on your TV, jadeblade, I would strongly suggest you to do the same. It's rough.
