That's what SE gave you for endwalker, except times 3. Now instead of pets and DoTs, you trance dance with a flashy animation for each. Might as well delete carbuncle and Demi's.

HW wasn't my favorite version mainly because I felt they should have just added Demi Bahamut rather than DWT. I just don't understand why they didn't build on 4.0 version that was generally praised instead they screwed it up with 5.0 so bad they felt they had to just burn it down.
