Balan Wonderworld final boss fight has possibility of causing seizures
Posted on 4 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Update: Square Enix has issued a statement, which says that the day-one patch takes care of the issue. Read the full statement here.
Original: Ahead of Balan Wonderworld’s release tomorrow, players should be aware that the final boss fight is physically dangerous. Unfortunately, due to the graphics and effects that appear on-screen, it may cause seizures. We’re also hearing that even those that aren’t photo-sensitive epileptics may find the fight troublesome to watch.
As mentioned by Game Informer, what’s shown “is not just using flashing effects,” but “it rapid-fires a series of white on background flashes.” We’ve included a video of the action below, but we’d advise watching it at this point.
