Dizzines & Intense Nausea while playing Tower at Paradigm's Breach

Also someone who gets migraines

In my job I happen to be involved with design (UI/UX) discussions/reviews, it took just one Youtube video for me to "nope" out of this raid.

I love the creativity, I can understand that people would like the crossover aspect - personally I don't like it at all- however there are way, way too many effects being thrown at the screen for me, for too long, using really bad contrast. Way too easy to trigger fatigue, headaches, etc. Not what i would consider "fun".

I don't have epilepsy but I do have problems with spatial awareness (I don't have good depth perception) and with those pixeled scattered effects on top of everything else that raid looks like a whole lot of nope to me.

I had no problem with it, but I've never suffered from this condition. I think that Square Enix should help those experiencing a problem with it by allowing them to disable it from coming up in their roulette.

As the community is getting older and more accessible for everyone getting online (technology). That means more and more people joining the game more than ever in pandemic.

I think SE needs to work on this panel. Needs to improve more to support color blinds, hearing loss, epilepsy problems.

I was going to suggest something like this. I had trouble seeing the floor markers during the Innocence fight and someone told me to try changing to a color blind mode. It worked! I was able to see stuff and, while I didn't have a lot of big issues, all the white was bothering me a little. So I'd suggest trying to find a color blind mode that helps you and can make the raid a little more bearable.

I had issues, but mostly because parts of that raid absolutely triggered my fear of heights. It's not the same as dealing with epileptic issues, but there are things in there that bug a *lot* of people, I imagine.

Know it may not be a fix for everyone but I use to suffer heavily from gaming motion sickness so much FPS were unplayable. It has gotten better with an ultra wide and with steady FPS I can play games I once was unable to touch.

I've had photo induced seizures since I was in middle school (funnily enough, the ones in front of a computer have all been in front of word processing software vs video games) but I haven't experienced anything at a frequency in the Tower that would have triggered mine. My twin and I both have them, so LED monitors were pretty much a much have as soon as they became affordable since the refresh rate on old CRT refresh rates seemed to be our initial trigger, but slower things have done it too like sunlight flickering through trees while on a bus.

The lack of contrast might be causing eyestrain in some folks which can cause migraines among other sorts of physical discomfort like dizziness. Had a friend who experienced something similar in the Kholusia areas before you get rid of the endless light weather and in the second half of the Mt. Gulg when you're surrounded by white enemies on a white marble background. I always get disoriented a bit in Aphascape 1.0 with the Bowels of Agony attack where the arena goes black, so maybe this is something similar?

The worry of seizures is definitely understandable OP. If this is something unusual for you, it may have been something compounded with other things like dehydration, eyestrain, or lack of sleep. If it's something you're noticing on the regular, it could be an indicator of needing to see an optometrist or a neurologist. Stay safe!

My situation is kind of different from regular color blindness (hues that are too close together appear as solid objects. For instance, with my phones filter I can tell this forum has three shades of brown for the UI, but on vanilla desktop it is just brown.)

ShB has been so bad for me. I am thankful for the patch that increased contrast in Mt Gulg, and it ended with some really funny moments in Copied Factory. I have illustrated how the majority of the instance appears to me for your convenience



At least it makes the aoes REALLY obvious

I won't lie, that'd be pretty awful to deal with.
