If the fight doesn't offer downtime and you need it, make your own. I don't think people will worry too much if you will run around for a second or two to blink like mad, just so you 'dodge' his attacks without even knowing they are coming. So yes. I may be missing something, but as far as I can see, as long as you strafe around him you should be fine from just about any attack. Though I may be wrong. But I'm sure you can make an 'opening' yourself.

That being said, the fight does have 'downtime'. When he is...well...down. At that time it's all about barraging him with hits which I'm sure you can do with your eyes closed like most experienced players would in-between their cooldowns.

It is a very much 'real' extreme. The fact that it have only four people makes it even more extreme, not less.

The reason why there are parties of eight in extreme trials is because Naoki Yoshida thinks that an extreme trial with only four people WILL BE TOO DIFFICULT due to a single mistake of the healer causing an unrecoverable wipe. This battle is very much like that, except for the fact that the auto-revival and potions makes everyone a self-sufficient, decreasing that risk to a point.


Also, a difficult four-man content is what the players asked and what the developers (as I said above) did NOT want to do. So this being a four-man is the players victory. Saying that it's not a real extreme for that is ignorant of what extreme means.
