You urgently need to remove one of your filters (the striped one), it cannot be present at launch as it may hospitalise players (or worse), in the same way as the infamous Pokémon episode," said accessibility specialist, Ian Hamilton.
"The approach with the filters in general would benefit from rework, they generally don't help. The intent was good and the technology is good, but the focus should be on players with low vision, not colourblindness, filters aren't a fix for colourblindness."
Director Katsuhiro Harada responded by saying that "a few people, albeit very few, have either misunderstood the accessibility options we are trying, or have only seen the video without actually trying them out in the demo play".
"We have 'multiple types of colour vision options' for players with different colour vision, not just one pattern," Harada said. "In addition to that, there is also a brightness adjustment for effects, and an overall brightness adjustment, and with those, there is quite a range of adjustment.
"On top of that, we have never claimed or publicised that these options cover all players' colour vision (although it has been talked about by a favourable community as a result)."
