Begging for an arachnophobia filter

[Alicat]

Trust me I’ve tried that the camera method. As for the healers no they have actively healed me and I’m not talking medica 2. I’m talking single target regen and heals. And yeah I am a dancer main. It’s how I can get away with it in dungeons with spinner type ones but the ones like I think it’s something along Arche Eve model I can’t. If I see a bit of the leg for example it’s enough to trigger me

While I do understand it's super debilitating to deal with it, I don't think SE will ever do this. Your only hope is that somebody from the community properly addresses this, the same way they made vastly superior options for those who are color blind as well.

I don't think they'll change it, but I personally would love it if they did too because, I cannot staaaaaand those types of creatures.
That last mount we got from PvP series.. "Magitek Slasher Mount" ?? HORRIFIC!!!!!! I received it to get it out the way, but never used it. I'll likely end up just throwing it away, I cannot staaaaaaaaand to look at them. Heebie jeebies, like NO thank you forever. HORRIFIC!! Delete it

Sadly for the OP the second set of floors is absolutely infested with spider type enemies and cobwebs covering every room, the first and third sets don't have any notable spiders but they'd still need to be hard carried through ten floors considering how severe they are presenting their phobia as here.

Luckily for the OP however you can start at floor twenty one and other than a few scorpion type enemies the next sets up to seventy are spider free (from my memory), so if they can just get aid past the second set they should be able to enjoy the deep dungeon at least up til then. (I've yet to get past seventy so can't comment on the last three sets)

This is of course only for if they've managed to do POTD for the unlock requirement.

Are there? LOL, the group I was in blasted through that set so fast I barely remember what the enemy models look like. So, yeah, OK, if the OP can get hard carried through that set (which seems totally reasonable to me to do given how easy the first several floors are in groups), then start from 21 on...I don't think spiders start showing up again until the 90's. And from there they are only on a few floors, but yeah when you're in the 90's you're not getting carried, you have to fight them and pay attention so actually completing the whole dungeon isn't going to be possible without facing some spiders. Anyway, with some effort and the help of some friends getting past one set, hopefully the OP can get some enjoyment out of this content.

FYI, spiders are related to crabs and scorpions.

[Alicat]

Yes but the difference for me is they don’t make my home their home. At least where I live. That is at least part of the phobia trait for me if that makes sense

[Alicat]

Maybe I can eventually get some friends to help. It’s definitely not easy tho but it might be something I can eventually do. Fortunately for me scorpions don’t fully trigger that full fear. I don’t like them but for some reason I can cope with them better. Probably because they don’t frequently try and make my home their home where I live.

Then you need to add for snakes, birds, heights... people... dogs, cats, sharks, bees, wasps, trees and the list would keep on going for phobias.

Maybe just maybe despite my phobia it’s ff as a whole is my comfort franchise. I mean there’s something wrong with you if you can’t be nice at all. But that’s being too nice to you. Having a phobia is nothing new. There are other things I fear heights are one but I can avoid jumping puzzles unlike those that show up in dungeons. If people like you could accept that I may sit out if one fight in an alliance a mob or two in a dungeon then I wouldn’t be asking for this sort of thing.

It’s also my only social life since I’m disabled so it’s not gonna be something I can just drop especially since most of my friends live across the world. Not that I really had to defend myself here to you but maybe it might teach you some manners

Earlier games in the franchise I can’t recall a spider like monster at all. I haven’t played before 6 and I’m only part way through. But the point is if there was they didn’t resemble them or as I was a teen my phobia wasn’t quite as bad back then as it is now

At some level, this is like saying, "The Lord of the Rings movies are awesome, but... why does Shelob exist?"

Spiders are an archetypical RPG enemy. The very first installment in the FF franchise, before it was even a franchise, had spiders. Many, color-swapped spiders, in fact.

Like, yeah, I get it, I have my partner relocate or otherwise dispose of every spider I spot in our apartment. But in the context of the Final Fantasy and FFXIV, spiders and spider-like things are nothing new.
