    World of Warcraft changed every spider into a crab for The War Within if you enabled their Arachnaphobia filter because the first half of the expansion was about massive ugly spiders. I don't see how SE couldn't implement the same idea outside of simple laziness.

    And I fully believe they'll choose to be lazy.

    I'm sorry to hear about this I could have sworn FF14 had something like this but I guess I was wrong.

    I know how crippling Arachnophobia can be for people and it must be very traumatic to engage with a boss or an enemy that incapsulates your greatest fear.

    I hope this situation gets addressed and heard so you can continue to enjoy the game. Hopefully bumping this thread will get it seen by the proper eyes. BUT if not I'd also suggest posting on the FF14 reddit only because I know the devs pay extra attention for social media posts. It'd also help if the issue was presented in different places for the most reach.

    Again I'm truly sorry you had to endure this. Let's hope we can get that fixed, I'm not sure what that fix may look like but it's important for people to enjoy this game.

    This is the exact right place to post a request like this.

    For what it's worth, OP, if you want to play Pilgrim's Traverse up to floor 30 so you can see the main story, I don't remember there being any eight legged critters until deep into the 90's. So while you couldn't finish the whole Deep Dungeon without encountering spiders, you can see the story parts and also get pretty far into it for loot and such if you wanted.

    Anyhow, I hope you find some relief, one way or another.

And besides that boss and the first mobs of weeping city I actually really like that alliance raid so it would be really nice to have a filter so I can enjoy it fully
    Seriously asking but if you ever get that raid, why don't you ask people to let you not do the fight with the spider? Just chill out at spawn so you don't have to see them, and then join the group after that boss. I'm pretty sure most people would understand.

    I have plenty of times. You do get teleported in after a while which sucks. I have a Marco set up apologising that it’s a phobia and when I get pulled in please let me die. I’ve had some lovely people but recently I’ve had healers even rescue me and constantly healing me with regen and such. (The only class I ‘let off’ with healing me is scholar cause fairy) it’s become more of an issue of late hence why I posted.

    Honestly, most of the healers tagging you are probly just using AoEs that get the whole party. Medica 2 could easily put a regen on you, even if they didnt intend it. As for your problem, do you usually dance? You could maybe get away with targetting the enemy, switching the camera to overhead facing straight down, then zoom in enough that you dont see much more then yourself. Youd eat a few attacks, but you likely wouldnt see anything and whatever extra damage you contribute would help a little.

    I hope they also make options for people with phobias towards snakes, sharks, scorpions, dogs, cats, rats, bats, wasps/bees, birds, and the slew of other phobias out there. I'd hate to think the devs would just make a change for one group while ignoring all the others.

    Sadly for the OP the second set of floors is absolutely infested with spider type enemies and cobwebs covering every room, the first and third sets don't have any notable spiders but they'd still need to be hard carried through ten floors considering how severe they are presenting their phobia as here.

    Luckily for the OP however you can start at floor twenty one and other than a few scorpion type enemies the next sets up to seventy are spider free (from my memory), so if they can just get aid past the second set they should be able to enjoy the deep dungeon at least up til then. (I've yet to get past seventy so can't comment on the last three sets)

    This is of course only for if they've managed to do POTD for the unlock requirement.
