Unless someone is incapable of reading, these labels are not color coded and listed under unique button structures to help them stand out. What part of this is inaccessible?
Yes, people who can’t read because they are blind would have accessibility issues…
It is pretty much guaranteed that the images did not have alt text for screen readers and were not set up to be tabbed through for someone who needs to use a keyboard and not a mouse because of dexterity issues. Then there is the problem that there isn’t a lot of contrast, the text is angled, it isn’t clear what is clickable and what isn’t, and a bunch of other stuff that are issues for people well beyond colorblindness.
While it could technically be created in a way for an alternate accessible way to interact they never really were. It takes a ton of work to make anything other than plain text accessible, and even that takes more work than just typing. It takes exponentially more work with something like this.
Nobody bothered to take that time unless they were sued. I am currently getting a state agency through a complete website redesign because we could not feasible make the old one accessible, and that is only happening because we were sued as a state agency is obligated to make their site accessible. The first things to go was shit like this.
I’ve been using this style of UI literally yesterday on a WinXP machine and every time you hovered the cursor over a button it played back what the button does, and some extra information. But yeah, mouse-only.
And that’s the fucking nightmare we seem to have at every web service now. Browsing is nigh impossible because everything will jump your cursor and autoplay.
No, but I did, for some reason, write “question” where I should have written comment. I’ll go edit the comment now so that you will be able to reply to it!
It could still be done in an accessible way. Back when this style was popular though, accessibility on the web hadn’t advanced much. Now we have all kinds of tools to help
Maximizing everything except accessibility.

5 downvotes in 7 minutes for a question? Smells like alt account brigading.
Anyway, especially with more modern accessibility tools and frameworks, why can’t a design like in the OP be accessible?
It was a loaded question and deserved downvoting.
Lots of wheelchairs around here that assume every one here knows about them.
Could you please elaborate on what you meant with this comment?
You replied to the wrong comment, there’s no question mark in mine.

Shan’t be feeding the troll. Bye!
Okay, sorry if you got oversatiated.
But anyway, what did you actually try to say with your comment? You said:
And I cannot really make heads of tails of what that was supposed to mean. Could you paraphrase that comment, please?

I’ve watched a blind person play FF14. Making a fun-looking static UI accessible is a piece of cake compared to that.
