Imagine an optional QTE dgn

[SenorPatty]

First let's get this out of the way: QTE= Quick Time Event

Now then

Let's pretend for a moment SE has the time and resources for this idea, which btw came to me while I was listening to the Cruise Chaser theme from Alexander raid (which lead to remembering Colicoid War Games from SWTOR).

First, would you guys approve or not? And if you did, how would you picture it? As for me, it would be a mix of QTE, something like Bardam's second boss and maybe a puzzle. From start to finish, no combat skills are used.

No. QTE should stick with visual novels and consoles with simple controllers.

I'm fine with QTEs when they're reflex based but most of the FF XIV examples are just button mashing which can be painful for people with arthritis or carpal tunnel. Rhythm-based inputs, reactionary inputs, and directional inputs are good it's the "PRESS THIS BUTTON AS FAST AS YOU CAN FOR AN EXTENDED TIME" ones that I'm not a fan of. So if that specific issue was avoided I'd be interested in the idea.

I would absolutely love a no combat dungeon.
The boss in Bardam's Mettle is one of my favourites. All mechanics, all fun.

The Gold Saucer would be a great place to implement something like that.

Conversely, it's actually my least favorite boss. I don't play this game to not play this game, you know?

I wouldn't mind that. Keep it separate from the combat oriented stuff. GS is a great medium for it.

I'd probably avoid it since reflex QTE would suffer from my bad connection and button mashing isn't exactly challenging. Not to say it shouldn't be in the game though. Interesting idea.

[Tiranadel]

As long as it's not required for MSQ, I wouldn't mind seeing something like that added just to have something different. I'm not really a fan of QTE, so it wouldn't be for me, especially after one part on Metal Gear Solid 4. If you played that, then you most likely know exactly what I mean. lol

[Caitlinzulu]

If its not part of any main story quest ok, for me reaction based qte is a nightmare since i know my reaction time is longer then most. It could very well mean the end of the game for me if SE begins to rely on that kind of crap.
