I don't think a group battle is a bad thing. But they should not make it easier. I think they should have put the tarutaru and maat in the fight together and then a pt of 6 can go in and fight both of them. Abyssea ruined enough of the game where people just solo everything. Lets get some parties back where people have to actually use their brain and come up with a strategy for something. Your playing an MMO people, if you want to solo buy a console and play a different game.
