    Outside of savage there is not really a need in moving your camera to see a mechs, and even in savage you don't need it that much. One of my friends have a great sensibility over motion sickness and moving the camera is prohibited for her but she actually manage to beat Asphodelos without any help (PS4 and no vocal.). Outside some fight like E8S where the balls on Shiva head were really hard to see for melee, there is not an absolute necessity of a better camera... Would it be a good QoL changes ? Totally, but not a necessity.

    Depends on general setup for the camera. Default camera is a bit too close to the character for that (IMO, I play on PS5) I had to maximize the camera distance and get used to that distance in order to be at the point where I don't need to throw my camera around.

    Are we playing the same game? There's loadsa stuff where you need to be spinning the camera to see whats going on.

    Few recentish examples:

    Paradigms Reach - having to spin the camera too see what those giant tree clones are going to be doing.
    Endsinger Ex. - watching out for planets popping behind you whist keeping tabs on her face.
    Aglaia - having to move the camera frequently to see where the hammers and stuff are or which finger doesnt have the orb on or which fireball will move in which direction.
    Hydaelyn - to see where those "wave" things are spawning or the direction they're flowing..
    Alzadaals Legacy - seeing where the lazers and stuff are spawning. or which curtains are safe
    Smiloton? - having to watch the face statues outside the arena sides..
    Rabanastre - boss with giant spinning pot.. so big it's off the top of the screen even at maximum zoom unless you literally stand on the bosses feet and point the camera vertically down.

    and a whole bunch of other mechanincs where the indicators arent even in the arena but on one of many statues surrounding it.. or sometimes up in the sky like having to look up to see how the meteors will come down into the ground and in what order.

    There's loads of occasions where more freedom over the camera would be a huge benefit. doesn't make enounters impossible admittedly but it can be super nausseatting having to juggle it so much..
