dungeons and motion sickness

Maybe you just do not need to play this game. I tried to play EVE and got headaches after about 30minutes playing it. So I just stopped. You dont like the elevator, how shall we accomodate blind people or amputees that have a hard time dodging plumes?

You have peripherals that convert text to braille and text to speech systems set up for the blind. For amputees, I would imagine using a computer in the standard way would be difficult, but not impossible, you could play this MMO with one arm just using a special mouse with keybinds around it. BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE. Double amputees you say, who have no arms. Well presumably they would understand their limitations restrict some of the things they could do. Would they be able to play the game? Probably. Would they be able to play titan extreme? Maybe not. I think disabling graphics settings is a much easier request than accommodating a multiple amputee or a blind person when they should be recieving support through their entire computing experience to begin with.

That's not a very nice thing to say... Just wondering, how would you feel if you were that guy that had those circumstances? Or maybe your child or another loved one had what you just listed?

See above. You are basically complaining about something trivial as a video game affecting your health. So quit playing it if it affects your health. Its not like this is a life-essential activity.
If you cannot quit playing despite it affecting your health negatively, you are basically addicted to a video game and have a whole different set of problems.

Your really insensitive, I never could have imagined such evil people to be amungst the final fantasy community. I'm glad people like you do not make up the majority of the population of people I have met or adventured with in my travels in eorzia.

I guess I have been blessed up until now with the people that I have met in eorzia, and I pray I never meet someone like you.

Wow that's pretty rude, it's not like developing an option for motion sick people would affect your game. I understand your point (I think) that a small handicapped minority shouldn't halt the progress (in this case the time developers put to the game) of non-handicapped people, but giving an optional static background wouldn't really be that much work and would improve the playing experience for some people.

EDIT: I did a small search and learned that motion sickness in video games is surprisingly more common than I thought, so I would actually see SE implementing something like this.

I agree it is totally rude. And if it would be my family member or loved one I would tell them to not play the game.
Edit: sorry for the double post.

I think you misunderstood my post, it is you who is being rude.
