Issue With End Game Raiding

[Singularity]

Honestly, I think that the best way to "fix" raiding would be to provide some method for practicing the phase of your choice, rather than starting from the beginning every single time. Only provide rewards for a complete run, but allow a group to start at any point in the fight while practicing, maybe?

While this is a good idea in principle, it is fraught with difficulty in practice. In a lot of fights in the game, the early phases influence how the later phases play out. Consider starting T12 at phase 3 - how many Bennus are there and where are they positioned? AS2 any phase - how many gobwalkers do you have left and how much EP remaining? Even a question as simple as "how much is the LB gauge charged?" is influenced by the early phases and can be crucial to the strategy for the later ones.

This is a good idea, but I can't see how it could be done.
