A certain cutscene in Garlmald needs a trigger warning (MAJOR SPOILER WARNING)

[MoonMiracles]

100% agree there are depictions in Endwalker that need content warnings. Even just little, 'This quest contains graphic content, please be advised' if you want to avoid offending people who "don't want any spoilers". But, mental health > your fantasy immersion, y'all. Some of the content in this storyline is really trigger heavy and definitely a little cringe to not see disclosed by the same team that took a phobia into account. This goes beyond, "It's violent."

Also, using the content ratings isn't an excuse. Not only are those done by a third party, but I've seen games disclose this topic, and I've seen other games fold it into "Violence." The ambiguity isn't helpful to anyone. Not to mention, there's content that isn't even particularly violent but still nihilistic enough to people who are vulnerable. And the one particularly graphic scene probably had to be edited quite a bit because it definitely toes the line of "Mature" when this game is "Teen."

Some of these quests absolutely need better disclosure.

I’m going to paraphrase what I saw someone else post about in another thread that was actually about this very same scene: if you need trigger warnings for content, then I don’t believe you are in a proper state of mind to consume said content. From either an emotional maturity level or an unsound/unstable emotional state—likely from lasting emotional scars and trauma that desperately need to be addressed by a professional before they fester any further.

Avoidance of a topic is not going to help you overcome it. Obviously, trauma should be spoken about on the terms of the one who is suffering from it—but putting in layer after layer of “protection” I find to be more detrimental in the long run. It conditions you to constantly fear these “triggers” rather than face them head-on; and I don’t think that helps you overcome them.
