A certain cutscene in Garlmald needs a trigger warning (MAJOR SPOILER WARNING)

[Naoki34]

The actual world isnt all rainbows and sunshine and neither is this one. Doesnt need a warning.

+1
I'd love an augmented reality pop-up in real life that says: "Beware incoming depression" Do you want to skip?

If this world is real to you? Maybe that speaks more about you than you may think my friend

I finally saw the CS I understand what you mean I was quite shocked that a scene like that would be in the game.

i can understand why people ask for a trigger but at the same time, put a trigger and the people will know something will happend reducing the impact of this scene... what make it your react like this it's because it's violent and unexpected... yes it's hurtfull for some people but honestly it was needed for the advancement of the story.

for the op i'm sorry to hear that it was hard on you, sadly i doubt they will do it. i will not say life is hard and such for talk about what did happend in this CS but like said it was needed for the rest...

I wonder what you'll make a troll thread about next, maybe about people disagreeing with you in this thread? worked well the last time, got like 20 or so pages, if I remember correctly lmao

If there was a trigger warning, it would need to be very non-specific to avoid spoilers. In that case, would you have even skipped the cutscene? What purpose would that have served?

Regarding the scene itself, while it was certainly shocking for some, there was no abrupt or unavoidably aggressive action. They made sure you knew what was coming in his words and actions. It was very obvious what was coming next.

I expected them to just shift the camera and hear a gunshot, but that didn't even happen. They completely cut to another scene and just showed us the aftermath. What actually happened in the moment was not visible or audible. I think that handles the situation a lot more delicately and still maintains the integrity of the storytelling. In my opinion that's much better than just slapping a trigger warning on it.

I'm sympathetic if it made you or others feel a certain way, but I don't think in this case the burden is on the storyteller to reveal in advance if something might be upsetting.

I empathize with OP, should have an UI option that your turn on and off, if you are a more vulnerable person due to personal hardships you switch up and the game warns you when you start the cinematic. And for those who don't want to be bothered with warnings have it off and game work as like now with no warnings.

I think it's less that the game needs trigger warnings and more that people that can't handle fiction need therapy

Pretty much this.
A trigger warning made by Square Enix can't be a substitute for professional therapy.

After having advanced more in the MSQ, I still allow myself to say that: it won't get better after Garlemalds for depressed people, you'd better stop playing Endwalker, because it will be worse afterwards.

I say this without trolling, wait until you are less depressed to do Endwalker.

Some say and before, how did you do it? Well, apart from one creepy scene at the beginning of ShB, it's mostly fine.

Endwalker has taken a step forward in terms of telling the story of how people feel about the end of the world. And I think that's a big plus, but you have to put some distance between what's going on and your feelings, if you're hypersensitive avoid it.

The fragility of people. Close your eyes to the world around you if fiction gets to you this much. The game has mature themes. If it’s do “triggering”, skip the cutscenes and pretend everything is gumdrops and unicorns
