    [Comparison] IMO Camera Distance or FoV Should Be Increased

    Made redit post about this. Thought I would mirror it here:

    Ever since I started playing this game I felt like the camera was a little claustrophobic, and now that I'm doing a lot more endgame content for the first time, its really starting to bother me. The effects in this game already hurt my eyes after playing for a while and being zoomed in on them doesn't help. Especially for melee.

    For comparison (Pretend the Atheryte and the Tree are bosses):

    With tilt that I would usually play at if the boss is huge

    Tilting the camera helps be also makes see what is underneath your feet harder.

    I also want to add, that WoW, on top of being able to zoom out for miles, has a fish-eye like lens effect which gives you a more comfortable view imo.

    Tree is a lot wider just by turning the camera

    In FF this effect seems to be a lot weaker. Although it is hard to make a 1 to 1 comparison here.

    I'm just curious if anyone else felt this way, or am I the only one bothered by it. I did see a few other posts on reddit and the forums about this but not many.

    The gpose camera already has a FoV slider, so it seems like a option they could add in pretty easily
