Let's talk about placing markers during fights.

From what I understand they aren't being removed you just can't place them In combat right? So you can set them up before combat even starts and save it by my understanding of it.

Yeah. The concern I have though is what about fights where the scenery changes? Like say Zurvan where the first phase is in one spot, then transitioning into phase 2 you 'fall down' to a new platform. Or Shinryu etc where you're taken to a different platform.

I see maybe they Will allow people to load a save per phase maybe? Like you set phase 1 markers before combat and when the enivorment shifting leave a window where the 2nd phase markers can be loaded from a save?

While this is a yikes level change for any fight that physically changes the fight arena, such fights are rare and only Shinryu, Thunder God and Engels come to my mind right now (Chrysalis and O3 also count for this, but you have no reason to waymark in those anyway). Most of the time, like Zurvan, Byakko, Seiryu, Ivalice Ultima, it's just smoke and mirrors and you never actually leave the starting platform.

This is also really bad news for those wanting to (re)clear UCoB, as the fight becomes way more difficult without markers mid-combat.

Correct, but that doesn't matter in Ultimate fights or even Savage fights when they are really new. Being able to move markers in the middle of the fights can really help your teammates out and make the fights easier to clear. Nearly every great group moves their markers around in the middle of the fight to set up waypoints for upcoming challenging mechanics and new phases.
