I have learned to play a good chunk of this game with surround sound so I know when to move based on how close the AOEs are to my character (this doesn't always work by the way). There were many fights (like Bozja Savage in particular), where I slammed up audio queue settings and whatnot because I knew I would not be able to see certain mechanics. I feel like I play the majority of this game based on hearing. So I turn off most voices unless a fight needs voice lines for mechanics. The amount of adjusting I do in the game to get the "same experience" as other people sucks.

When new content drops, I make it a point to run it 10+ times, especially if I see colorblindness will be an issue. I try my best to immediately learn to adjust because I don't want to be a burden to Duty Finder players who are just trying to do their roulettes. I even have an in-game macro for party chat for the times where I do swap to green/purple mode to warn the party in advance and thanking them for their patience.

I will be progging Ex4 this weekend. I have been warned up and down about it that people without colorblindness were struggling. Friends telling me I can get by with some mechanics by following the party. I might be doing it in green/purple mode. I might not. I won't know how screwed I am until I step foot into it, and I am very nervous if future fights going forward will be like this. Normal mode was a huge struggle already for me. I thought the Devs listened from Endwalker when we complained about this and it feels like they went completely backwards instead or chose to ignore everything.

Friends have suggested Reshade and other options, but I am so determined to not have to go that route because I would once again have to do a ton of EXTRA adjusting on my part just to have the same experience as them. It's exhausting. I am not asking the Devs to make this game easier (I love harder content). I just want more options so I can SEE LIKE EVERYONE ELSE.
