The Stormblood Capstone fight pretty much killed my enthusiasm with the game.

It doesn't change, unfortunately. The latest end of expansion boss - and the very same one meant to end a decade long story arc - has an entire phase devoted to mindlessly flailing around just like Thordan.

Please. Endsinger is MUCH harder than Thordan. The planet phase has caused so many deaths.

You're looking at this from the eyes of the Hardcore. Most of the playerbase are Casual and don't play anywhere near optimally nor research fights ahead of time.
