Has it Been Mentioned? -- Guildhests

Remember Ultros and Typhoon?
You had to turn into Imps and absorb Ultros Water Attacks, then you'd use those stacks to prevent Typhoon's Sneeze.
You could actually wipe due to a ring out.

Rotational Sneeze was also interesting to dodge.

In the end, people complained a lot and that fight is just a shell of it's former self, I think it was around that time they just gave up trying to make different mechanics like that.

That's the kind of stuff games like GW2 and to an extent, WoW has; where you have to do this duty specific thing to do progress. In GW2 you have to fight waves of enemies and hitting them with a special hammer that absorbs the enemy's energy which you then use to unshackle a giant stone man.

square enix gave up on making games, now it's downsized to mario-level of pick-up and play.
