Unable to progress the MSQ and unable to find help from GMs

[odie]

I have a phobia that is to the point that it is crippling. The anti tower is keeping me from completing the MSQ. I am really ashamed to have to admit this but I can't really help it. Believe me. I have sent a message to Support and got a reply back saying that allowing me to skip the dungeon and continue on with the MSQ is outside the scope of their abilities. Surely there must be some way a GM or somebody can help me. I just want to be able to make it through the story and not have to do this one part of the game.

You mean this game forces you to get into dungeons, and that's one of the best part of this game until you do it 100 times, and you cannot get in because of a phobia?

How did you manage to get through Sastasha? you got to lvl 60, so you did them, why bothering now?

Roadblocks are there so you won't just skip all and take a bit of time to complete the MSQ.

Unless I haven't catched what you are implying..

I think his phobia is more along the lines of 'creepy ass dolls', or something in the dungeon like that.

I'm sorry I wasn't more clear. But yes. I was excited for the patch until it got to the dolls part. Then I dreaded that it was going to be in the MSQ and sure enough... it was. The corpse soldiers outside Little Ala Mhigo also bother me but only because i had the first person camera on when I looked at them. I can easily just not do that but having these dolls, especially as large as they are in this dungeon, its not as simple as just looking away. All I want is to be allowed to get put past the dungeon somehow so I can avoid it and continue on with the game.

You could try finding people to carry you? The fight isn't that hard and 1 DPS should be enough, even if slow.

I have the same problem. I mean I could go through it but I'd have nighmares for awhile after. Those kinds of dolls and clowns really mess me up.

Long solution - I can appreciate what you mean. I dated someone who had a fear of clowns so I can imagine that fear is similar to that of dolls. Believe me when I say that it's nothing to be ashamed about. There's solutions and techniques around it and even the ability to deal with it slowly but surely. I think I blame Stephen King for his portrayals of psycho clowns and the creator of Chucky for the fear of dolls.

Short solution - roll a Black Mage and spam all the fire. ALL OF THE FIRE!

I agree that getting a carry is likely going to be your best answer. You could fight with them up until the last room and then step out of the room while they beat the boss. I would check if anyone is willing to help in your FC or, worst case scenario, you could always try to offer gil. I bet a fair chunk of people would do it for 50k to 100k each which while it might be steep (I don't know how set you are financially in the game) it would be a way to proceed past this point.

I just want to say I'm really thankful you all are offering me solutions instead of making fun of me. I actually expected to get responses along the lines of how I need to grow up. I just can't help that I have this fear. I will see if I can get some people this weekend and just step out and get carried. I hate making someone do all the work for me but at least maybe I'll get through quicker than waiting on some sort of intervention from SE. Thanks everyone.

It is unfortunate that this is the case, but this is really out of the control of both support and the devs. Content like the antitower, with a chilling atmosphere and creepy enemies is exciting and thrilling for far more people than it isn't, and changing that based on the fear of upsetting an extreme minority would go against creative freedom within the game, and allowing people to skip content for reasons like this would set a precedent that is difficult to control. The best advice I can give is ask someone IRL to do the dungeon for you, or as others have said, get carried by FC or LS members.
