Players with disabilities, represent & share your feels!

Hi!

I have

Cerebral palsy: one hand is essentially a claw, meaning my left hand is the hand I play with,

spinal stenosis: shards of bone growing into my spinal column

a weak heart

blindness in one eye

dyscalculia and dyslexia



and a bunch of other intellectual disability stuff.

I main WHM on Balmung, and I was wondering where the other players w/ disabilities are and what you like to play? Do you have any frustrations? Any stories of triumph?

I get a lot of flack for healing too slow, or forgetting to take my heart meds, and yelling to take meds in Ul'dah shout chat. And there are times I wonder if the SE dev staff has any disabled QA staff testing things, as there is some content I'll never see.

THAT SAID, I love how responsive SE's devs are to the community, and that $120 device everyone hates? Is like a godsend to me. I love FFXIV.

I also saved a group where a newbieplayer tank kept running into an AoE to fight because it was 'where the biggest orange circle was' while a dps just.... stood in same spot over and over!

I'm also really looking forward to the new device!
