    False. At least on PC. There are 3 options. Show all, Show limited, Show None.



    Taking Jeuno's last boss as an example, for the mechanic where he holds two glowing orbs in his hands, one of which changes to indicate which side he's going to cleave, you can't just turn the orbs off and still understand the mechanic. You have to redesign the visuals.
    Not every single mechanic needs to be reduced. Two glowing orbs in a hand is not an example of the constant rave that people are talking about. The comically stupid light shows for an unavoidable AOE are a great example of it. There's nothing you can do, no place you can stand. You are going to get hit by it, there's no need to flashbang everyone's eyeballs if it's causing people hardship.
