Kugane tower is impossible for me

[Holy-chan]

Without going as far as to say that I specifically have the same condition, I do get rather uneasy when heights are concerned, be it IRL or ingame. Although, it depends. I think it's part "being in control", part "seeing what's below". If I'm flying and have control over it, I'm okay, but if I look down and I can't see what's under me (for example, Sea of Clouds, or underwater if the bottom is dark or far away), I start getting uncomfortable palpitations. I suppose that I am bit better off than you are, but I think I still understand you. I felt a little bit uncomfortable falling long distances when failing a jump in the tower, but it was not too bad for me...

I wish you the best. I'm glad that others have offered solutions that might help you out. Good luck!

I do get the same way myself. Example being if I run off a cliff (on accident or purpose) I feel my legs tense as I brace of impact (happens in games like GTA5 too) yet when I am in full control, I am fine.

I have severe Acrophobia (fear of heights) and even video games sometimes can set it off. Once I get to just below the balcony level I begin to shake. While I enjoy jump puzzles in games, this is just one I can never do without either an eternal bond with someone who can or a friend does it for me.

It sucks since I can never have that "I finally did it!" feeling of making it to the top on my own. I hope all of you can make it and complete your sightseeing logs and enjoy the view; this Miqo'te will just be on the ground cheering you on.

girl, ask your friends to marry you. I am sure one guy friend will be fine with the free EB. That could be a good help and useful for many other places, too.

Wow, didn't know it could be so bad. I'm acrophobic myself, but it's mainly limited to footing I can see through, and waist-high railings being the only thing separating me from a fall IRL.

Video games, it's not a problem. You just won't find me climbing one of those towers of rope, and nets in places like Dorney Park/Sesame Place, or 4 stories off the ground on a fire escape unless the building is actually on fire...

I can partially relate with the OP.

Even in a videogame, if I see myself/character falling, any distance that requires like a second or longer. I get the distinct feeling of weightlessness and falling in the back of my head and it shoots down my spine. It ONLY triggers from such a sight though, oddly enough only in interactive mediums.

[File2ish]

Perhaps distracting yourself while doing the jump puzzle might help? Listen to an audiobook or watch youtube/tv/netflix/other streaming service on another device while you attempt it. At least for me I've successfully distracted myself from odd feelings of weightlessness when my character is falling off attempting the puzzle. Though it should be noted I don't have the phobia, nor a general fear of heights. Just watching my guy fall just triggers that feeling for some reason.

If that doesn't work I'd be willing to lend aid with the aforementioned "waifu warp" seeing as you're also on Coeurl. I'm determined to get to the top one of these days despite my less than ideal work schedule.

In the immortal words of Ace Ventura:

WHATEVER YOU DO! ...Don't look down.

This is why I like this community so much more than WoW's. You guys are awesome; maybe I'll take another hard crack at it if work doesn't kill me tomorrow. :P

[SuperZay]

The best way to fight any phobia is to gradually expose yourself to your fear. One step at a time. Then look down over the distance you covered. When you're comfortable, continue exposing yourself to greater heights.

There is a second, easier, and less scary, jump puzzle over by the hotel/hot springs.

There is a sightseeing spot up there to get, too, and has you more of less running along the rooftops to the hotel, then doing a few tight jumps to the tubs on the rooftop.

If you want to try to acclimate yourself a bit before attempting the tower, you can try that.

And remember. It's okay if you can't do it, but it's only a game and you are perfectly safe and sound while playing.
