    Guys. forget all the disability aspect of this thread and focus on this:

    Does the game need a buyback feature? Cuz it sounds like if the game had one, threads similar to this (as in "I bought this by mistake" and not "this is unfriendly to "insert disability here) would not show up often.

    I know I'd welcome it. I play SWTOR and I can say having nearly 2 days to get a refund from a vendor for almost all different currencies used to buy an item is a godsend.

If you're capable of healing DRK back in ShB (or any tanks), then you'll heal EW DRK just fine.

Taking another page from WoW, it could work the same. When you purchase an item, you have a certain amount of time before you can turn it back in for the amount of currency you spent. But it could become void once materia is slotted or something.

    Many things are not Dyslexia friendly you know.....like MANY video games! It's basically not needed to be said, but when you state it like how the OP did, it kind of comes off as 'how dare it not be better suited for me, for shame!'

    There's also the fact that when you hover over an item, you can see what stats are on it. Mind and Intelligence are two hugely different words in meaning and how many letters are in them, even so I've bought the wrong item for my Scholar a few times in the past with weekly currency due to not paying attention.


    But there's some things that can be improved, yes..... one thing that might be able to work for class gear, is giving us a setting to unshrink the size of class names on items, so it'd be like Red Mage instead of RDM, since every class is shortened to 3 letters.


    And about the materia....

    Did anyone here see the bad materia system they had back in 1.X? You could have different stacks of the same rank materia, but each one had different values.

    'Most materia has four possible stat values for each tier, meaning a total of 16 possible stats per materia; However, some materia have fewer stat variations.' - Aka 4 versions of the same rank materia because of differing values

    http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/M...sy_XIV)/Legacy - Scroll down to the materia stuff. It was terrible in 1.X. Not to mention if you failed to overmeld an item, it broke forever. Item would go poof~

    I still like the fact that stats are colour coded for materia. The Main 5 Stats are light blue, gathering is green, crafting is blue and so on.... though what the OP is suggesting and making Skill/Spell speed the same thing, I don't agree with.

    I DO agree that it could be possibly annoying for someone who is dyslexic to see the difference when they have the same amount of lettters in the words. So why not just take the colour of the unused PvP materia and re-purpose it?

    Make the PHYSICAL Speed be the orange materia. Make the MAGIC Speed be the purple materia.

    There's honestly no reason not to have a regulated refund option on token purchases, or a once every 30 days item restoration.
    These features would not impact balance between classes, progression in the game or imbalance in the markets... the only reason not to have the features would be an unwillingness/inability to put it into the game.

    I've had a few occasions where I purchased the wrong item (sometimes they looked similar or had nearly identical names) and I would kick myself for not paying attention. But at the end of the day it was my own fault for goofing. We already have windows that pop up for confirmation on gear if we can't currently equip, maybe add another "Are you sure?" window for things considered high-end. Personally I'd find that annoying but at least it would take the main excuse people throw around for situations like this

    In SE defense. I don't think I ever seen a game that is Dyslexia friendly. Every game has its name conventions. WOW. FFXIV. RIFT and so one. Even single player games do, so honestly its not discrimination. Its just the way games are made.

    "It's not my fault I selected the wrong item, it's their fault I selected the wrong item."
    "I made a mistake, but it isn't my fault!"


    Huh! Alright!

    Hey guys, those times I caused a wipe weren't my fault alright? I know I made a mistake, but it wasn't my fault.

    There's not a guy called Square with a deadline in his office, several empty cups of coffee in a bin next to him. "Square! We need you to fix Summoner NOW!" "But I'm working-" "BY TONIGHT!"

    They're a big company. I'm PRETTY sure they have different teams with different specialist areas.

    I can get behind that. People make mistakes at times and having a feature where you can sell an item back, say for a couple hours, as long aa its not equipped would be welcome. Most other MMOs have it, so It's not a huge deal.

    As fun as FFXIV is, they are definitely behind the times on certain features that have become standard in most of today's MMOs (glamour window, for example).
