    game needs more support for colorblind people

    i have friends who are colorblind and today i recruited somebody new to my static who is tritanopia (blue-yellow colorblindness). i am more than happy to accommodate them, but i am surprised by the lack of accommodation afforded by the dev team to players affected by this. this lack of support is most noticeable in savage/ultimate content where some mechanics are coded purely by color (i'm looking at you, high concept).

    sometimes there are symbols present but it's not a guarantee. there's also an issue of the arena itself being colored a certain way (e4s, e8s) that can make things much harder than they need to be. and i'm well aware there is more than one type of color-blindness so this makes it even worse. i don't think it would be too hard to add more accessibility options such as symbols or letters for these mechanics or the boss arena.

    it's also questionable at least to me when there was an effort made for this in the ew msq (zodiark having square and triangle cleaves, hydaelyn having colors but also visually wielding a weapon depending on what color) but they can't do the same for savage/ultimate raiders
