Could we have an option to reduce colors and flashes in fights, please?

I think when they started adding big capstone nukes in ShB and onward, in their need for each expansion job trailer to be flashier than the last one, the devs progressively forgot a cardinal rule which is "less is more". There is a certain art into creating moderate, but creative and engaging visual effects.

Looking at us SMN 6.0+

People often joke about the pet size but IMHO that’s not quite the entire issue. Don’t even need to be in their burst windows. The flashes, bloom, and brightness of Ifrit & Titan VFXes are bad enough that they singlehandedly able to cover everything else, and it’s not even a layered VFX like RDM’s LB3.

Recently as well, by Dawntrail launch many other jobs are joining the “launch satellite beams”-groups that happens every 2m window. Less obnoxious compared to SMN by far but still aggravating enough.

EDIT: Yes they can be turned off. I do however think that they should not design these effects around the assumption that players will just turn effects off. That oughta kill the purpose of having these effects to begin with.
