Actually BLM can "bypass" landslide too with Manawall. Anyway whether you dodge it or bypass it with abilities, the result is the same. You stay on the platform, alive.

People not in the US have high ping. There is nothing they can do about it. It's not a problem with their setup. Currently they either get carried through the content or they don't play at all.

Dodging and dealing with mechanics is already "figuring out" the fight.

Yes, and there is nothing wrong with providing an alternative to "dodging" consisting of "more mechanics that need to be figured out".

It's hard to make that jump unless I am missing something here.

You do realise that you can't dodge in old school FF right? If a boss attacks with a one-shot, you pretty much have to work around with gear and skills of your own.

I would like the opportunity to "work around with gear and skills" boss attacks that require dodging.

Why do you insist on trying to apply turn-based RPG tactics to an action RPG?

The more interesting question is, why are you against it?

PS: BTW I will take a long time to answer. I have hit the daily post limit. I have to wait for more "post allowances" to come in.
