Also calling the npc battles playing "a class I don't like" is quite a stretch considering they have what, four buttons? That's not a class at all. You don't even need to press them in a specific order to do a correct rotation. A lvl 20 player character is significantly more complex.

Personally I thoroughly enjoyed these duties. Cut-scenes can be great but I really loved getting an actual taste as to the capability of these npcs and their unique abilities the WoL doesn't have. While their skill pool is very small, man they are powerful.
They're even slightly OP. Alphinaud's Ruin III had Ruin 4 potency. And Y'shtola had a Cure I (in terms of MP cost) with Cure II potency. Also pretty sure her Lucid Dreaming was shorter in cooldown than the regular one.
