[ffxiv-future] A request for "Player-Selectable Difficulty Scaling"

[Blarp]

Comments like these are not welcome in this thread. I specifically asked for you people to be more considerate, and you're failing quite horribly at that.

I'd try to justify everything, but the point of this is to give people flexibility and choice. This isn't about just my friends' health, but a fundamental aspect of the game that needs to be addressed.

I don't like it when games force a tough battle on me without the option to adjust the difficulty - I don't always have time to spend one whole hour on a single boss.

I think it's pretty ridiculous to ask the developers to implement a system to reduce stress in a video game when it's not a problem for the vast majority of the playerbase. Most people find the challenge and "stress" of a difficult boss fight appealing. I'm sorry your "friends" have issues, but maybe they should just go find a different hobby that doesn't cause anxiety attacks. SE already started adding tiered difficulties. Ifrit easy mode and Ifrit hard mode. If hard mode is too much, then go do easy mode.

Video games don't have to cater to every type of gamer. That's why there's such a huge selection of them. If one doesn't satisfy you, then you can simply go and find another one. Why should the developers attempt to cater to every demographic?

This would be like me telling SE, "I only have one arm. Please make content easier so I can play with one arm." It's absurd. Instead of demanding the game change to meet your needs, why don't you go find a game that already does that.
