COMMUNITY TEAM RESPONSE REQUESTED NEED ASSISTANCE FOR VISUALLY COLORBLIND

[MrSmitey]

To Yoshi P


im here today to ask that playstation 4 users get more options towards color blindness
as its effecting my gaming, for example i cant tell the difference from most area of effects (AOE) as they are the same color for me, making raids/dungeons/trials a very hard task to do and i know there is a option on pc for color blindness but i personally cant afford to make the switch to pc just to use a color blind option so all i ask is for a better color blind option with able to choose for the ps4 ff14 version of the game, cause i really do not wanna limit my gaming on ff14 to just non fighting based content like crafting,gathering,hunting,gold saucer mini games/beast tribe quests... i wanna be able to do everything my friends can like being able to do dungeons with them, without having to worry that i am on the right or wrong marker same goes with doing trials and raids.

Good morning and thank you for posting in the Final Fantasy XIV Technical Forums,

Unfortunately the issue you are describing is something we are not able to assist with in the Technical Support Forum. I will be moving this thread to " General Discussion".

Hope you see you online!

[MrSmitey]

if they do answer this i want to slightly highjack this to get two responses in one, to ask them to bring the auditory assistance to the ps4 as well, much like those who are colour blind and need help there are those of us on ps4 who are hard of hearing or deaf, that struggle with audible cues and both of the accessibility options would both be a good addition to the PS4, Both the colourblind options and the audio visualiser are both needed on ps4 :3

I don’t know if they can do this for the PS4 using their current implementation. The PC version can directly access the graphics card to adjust colors where the PS4 version is locked down if memory serves me correctly. I believe the devs said in a post long ago that a PS4 version of this would be very difficult as Sony has things so locked down. I may be wrong but this is what I remember.

I thought the ps4 had access to the visual noise hints they put in which had everyone go thanks that's nice but what about color blindness?

currently both the Visualiser for the hard of hearing and the colour blind options are windows only, the PS4 has 0 accessibility options in the game. the ps4's accessibility menu also has nothing for colourblindness outside of the game :c
