Boss Fight Mechanics

I always have fun fighting with stone vigil HM's bosses.The fight is unpredictable,you're gonna need to react fast and also must have field awareness to observe the other boss as well.Too bad the bosses don't have much hp and don't hit very hard.. I want the fight get a bit longer.

More randomized stuff, less memorization! :)

The scripted fights make me fall asleep haha

I want more interesting arenas: where the ground moves or you fight on different elevations. How about some fights where we have to jump to platforms?

My pet hate is when a white mage uses Medica 2 on a party where 2 people drop to 70% hp and 1 drops to 90%, then they cry at the bard for Mage's Ballad. So I'd be happy wiping lots whilst WHM's learn they have other spells to use!

In cases like those, it definitely stands that Medica II isn't a good ability to use. However, in Final Coil, there's at least one instance in each turn where the entire party is taking tons of damage, and often in relatively frequent occurrences (as often as once a minute). Medica II is great for those.

I would quit the game.

Thornmarch (Extreme); One of the most randomized fights ever seen - still one of the most hated fights in Eorzea.

It is! Sadly, a lot of people think otherwise.

Because the fight is random on what abilities get used I saw so many healers say they couldn't ensuna the debuff on moogle go round and 2 people would die each time because they couldn't predict when it was coming out. People who are bad at reacting to scripted mechanics are even worse to reacting to random ones. So I don't see how all these people who say only if they used random stuff I would be beating coil are going to do better at the game. If anything they will do worse. Doesn't effect good players with good reaction skills though. Just makes the casuals die even more.
