What if we have another enamy like shadow lord. During his second stage he spams aoe.And chances arte you would die 5 times before getting to safty to raise and rest.

A tedious game is NOT a fun one.
Well, isn't is safe to say that introduces more viable roles? Specifically for healers? Also, ffxi strives on the fact you have to do many, many things to actually re-do a fight. For the shadowlord, walking alll the way back to his throne-room was a tedious chore in itself. We shouldn't assume ffxiv will be the same way. The possibility that we may be easily given the opportunity to re-challenge boss's who are difficult immediately after a fight, is extremely high due to the casual essence this game is trying to capture.
