I thought that would be the case, just wishful thinking on my behalf that it would have been made more accessible somehow. It's a shame though that screen reders can't work with text in main stream games like that though as with that being possible and the battle system being turn based things like the battle system, sphere's story line character speech etc would all become accessible in a game like that, true moving the character around like you said still wouldn't work, but it makes you wonder if the game text worked with a screen reader big games company's like this I'm sure they could then implement ways of navigating the character around for people unable to see the screen , but I guess that's all time and money so I don't see it happening any when soon! Still all that being said I still love the games although not sure which one I'd pick as my overall favourite since there all good, and you never know maybe one day I'll see an accessible version, wishful thinking but I stay hopeful lol

If you learn the menus you can do the battles I guess. However moving around and using the sphere grid would be pretty much impossible. Mike.
