    There is a left and right in the ivalice raid and people can't dodge that, it's not the wording it the ability to read the "casting" bar on top of the enemy hp bar that people struggle with. Why do you think no one tanks? You have to know when a buster is coming to swap or buff.

    And now imagine you are tanking the boss and he casts left or right but because you are facing the boss from the front right is actually left and left is actually right... >.>

    And no, the problem is not reading the casting bar. The problem is that a lot of people actually have problems to tell where is left and where is right, myself included. For some reason I have less problems with knowing where left is, but right is a problem. It takes me around 2 seconds to remember wich word stands for wich side, and thats too slow to react to the castbar.

    Funfact: I have less problems with starboard and larboard than with left and right.

    What you said makes sense, I guess that reaction time is just skill gap, some people are fighter pilots and some people can barely walk in a straight line. Practice and some content might be harder than other. I think you can do it.
