No more QTE please.

[Enla]

The problem is that people with chronic injuries experience pain, from such a speed, or they are not at all able to spam buttons like that. But they can close savages and extrimes, because it is difficult, but without such compulsion to spam buttons

And the timing of GCD's in this game allows for 2+ second reprieve between actions that causes a lower impact on the hands. That isn't to say there aren't people out there for whom even that isn't painful. But for me personally I can do Savage just fine because it's a dance. I know when to press my buttons, know I can let my hands rest between casts, and as a SCH while there is oGCD weaving to be done it isn't so monumentally overwhelming that I don't get those brief moments of respite that add up over the course of a night. Still need to brace my hands with athletics tape and maybe pop a pain killer on particularly bad nights, but unlike this QTE I don't need to stop playing afterward to recuperate.

Honestly incidents like this make me wish more gaming companies had people who experience chronic pain of some variety in their quality control process. Because this should have been an easy catch and thus could have been fixed with one of the many suggestions that have been tossed around in this thread.

To be honest, we do not know whether the developers are testing their game solutions for disabled people or not. It would be really nice if they test this before launching the next patch.

I roughly understand what they were trying to show with this solution. But, unfortunately, instead of uniting people with one game goal, even the usual discussion of this problem leads to conflict.

This is a wonderful game in which most of the story is about friendship and overcoming difficulties. And it would be great if the developers took this step, helping players who, for some reason, find it difficult and painful to perform QTE, simply by stopping to punish the entire group due to the failure of one person.

I agree, this isn't a Quick Time Event. It's just plain button mashing for the sake of button mashing. True QTE have press a certain button or action at the right time in a cinematic event

Real examples of QTE:
FFIX
FFVII Remake
Marvel's Spider-Man
God of War Bedroom Scene

If it's a problem for players who are disabled, arthritic, etc. then change it or remove it.

How ridiculously easy is this game where the community is arguing that a BUTTON MASHING segment needs to stay on as some kind of skill gate for the story? I mean seriously, why try to draw a 'git gud' line here? Is this really meaningful, significant gameplay for some of you? Is the game de-legitimized if players don't have to prove themselves in the button-mash arena to progress?

Just going to post this again, because the method has been mentioned several times and I still see people going on about button "mashing".

You do not need to mash the buttons. Any key input works, including multiple at once. You simply place both hands down on the keyboard and run them slowly from side to side (take care not to hit Return and enter chat, just over the letter keys is fine). Have tested it several times, it's strain friendly, works fine and you don't even come close to failing.

I'm not disagreeing the QTE could do with looking at, but until we get a fix this is the best we have.

That's a good suggestion. I'd imagine it is way less strenuous for those who have certain limitations for their hands as well.

How hard is it to mash buttons? I have small hands and clear it all the time. This has to be a joke.

Cool. I also have cleared it each time. That's not the point people are bringing up. They are saying that if for some reason one person can't, everyone gets punished, or they even get punished if they CAN do it if someone lags.

Going to confirm my theory with my earlier post...no, spinning controller joysticks does NOT work.

Thank you very much for trying to help and looking for solutions. It is worthy of respect.

Odd.... It works for me. Are you on PS4 or are you simply using a controller on PC that could be the difference. Odder things have happened. Cause it works on mine just fine.
