    Request: Accessibility option for bright flashing spells like Holy

    I have sensitive vision and am prone to migraines. I have noticed that a couple of spells in the game--mostly WHM's Holy and, to a lesser extent, PLD's Holy Spirit & Holy Circle, can trigger migraines and eye stress for me. These spells all flash bright white light, and tend to be spammed 3+ times consecutively, which I think is why they are a problem for me.

    It's so bad that I basically do not play White Mage any more. When I do, I have to actively look away from the screen when I'm casting Holy. I know there are options to turn off all your ability effects, but I really don't want to have to sacrifice -every- animation just because of one spell hurting my eyes.

    I would really appreciate an accessibility option for spells like these. Even if it were the ability to turn off the visuals of these single abilities through a macro (like how SMN has a /bahamutsize macro), it would make those jobs much more playable for me.

    Thank you for reading, I hope nobody else gets chainstunned from Holy like I do!

    You can turn off battle effects entirely for all characters or just yourself. I use this option in Bozja and it turns off all the battle glitter so I can focus on mechanics. Then I turn it back on when I'm in less crowded content.
