Third party tools are a game design failing in a multi-platform game

God Kefka (Trine), Gaia Pt2 (Hourglass), Zodiark (Snakes).

Can you provide relevant examples to FFXIV and not CS:GO?

We played with my color blind friend Kefka and had no issues at all, but I will not go there because I know there are different kinds of color blind and some people may have issues to see the "yellow on yellow" phase, while other color blind depending on their own issue may have no problem with it. The clocks have different picture on them, as far as I am aware how colorblind works, you should be able to see the picture atleast on the red clocks. I would say it is more likely the community is not used to use the color blind hints that really generate issues because while we were aware of our friend in the static, when we played in some random groups, they were pretty unprepared to not use "purple, red, yellow and etc" for feedback.

EDIT: Zodiark was just box, square, circle, if I understand the mechanic you are refering to.

I gave example with CS go because I don't want to write the name of the specific mod used by at least one of the suspended FF players. But lets say that the entire World First group on the last ultimate used UI addons, but only the red mage was banned, who was using addon revealing information invisible for players without addons. Bengal or whatever his name was, who got suspended too, had the same addon, I didn't checked the guy from Japan, but I am 95% sure he was using it too. It was visible visual feedback helping with mobility that is hidden by default and players should train a lot to perfect it.

I can't believe that people genuinely don't want to acknowledge that there is a difference between Quality of Life and cheating.

Johners: SE should stop people from hacking and cheating
Also Johners: SE should waste all their time banning people for using UI tweaks and Parsers just because I can't use them, instead of using that time and effort to ban people who hack and cheat

Also also Johners: Square Enix have basically no tools to detect the majority of third-party tool usage in this game regardless of it being slam-dunk cheating or random QoL UI stuff

I play the game in a way I'm more happy with without cheating. I don't give a damn about consoles, there is a reason why so many opts to spend extra on PC

Except that's not the business choice Square Enix have made. I don't think the game is PC-first or console-first but there's a massive player base on both platforms and I'd assume it's probably a 50-50 split between them. There's a duty on SE to ensure they're designing a product that's fit for both audiences and is equal between both audiences. If there wasn't cross-platform multiplayer and it was two separate player bases, this wouldn't be a discussion at all, but because everyone plays together, it has to be equal.

Don't care. PC allows you to do many things console can't, either spend the money or live with console limitations, it's cold hard fact and what console centric japanese says doesn't affect that.

For cross-platform games, individual platform "advantages" should be superficial; Better graphics, better refresh rate, better resolution? Sure. But playing on PC shouldn't allow for better player performance. "If you want to be able to play better you should spend money on a PC!" is a ridiculous statement.

Life isn’t fair, sorry. PlayStation players subjective themselves to a limit experience is the consequence they chose when they picked the platform to play on.
