I'm glad you're not a game designer, and sorry you expect everything to go smoothly. A large part of the fun in earlier FF games is managing weakened party members and trying to stabilize mid fight via raise/phoenix down etc. Have you played them? I strongly doubt there weren't boss fights that didn't present this situation to you, unless you just grind out for hours before progressing in each title.

Here an example of this kind of gameplay being exciting in really oldschool FFXI as proof of concept that the afforementioned gameplay can exist in the XI environment: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJQLCN_qqFY
I have to call you an idiot again? Cause I will. You're the one who wants the phoenix downs to extend your ability to stay in the fight, to smooth out a process of never failing. Phoenix downs, in FFXI, wouldn't create the environment you are looking for as it already exists through reraise. It would only add an extra layer of not failing, which is dumb, the game is already lost a great deal of difficulty.
