2. People said complexity of any kind is bad for MMORPGs, Yoshi listened to them.

3. To be fair this is good and bad because you should relearn as you enter new encounters - however it's a bit much simply because of auto kill mechanics more than anything. A lot of XI fights you could go in and do what you do normally but the boss tend to throw in loops that give them their own set of difficulties, for example Omega's Quad/Bipedal modes completely changing the fight without throwing in an annoying instant kill mechanic if he does like it would be in XIV.
