What's the point with that quite lackluster story in Endwalker?

A sigh when jumping down into the dwelling of the 6.5 trial boss and we see it waiting for us at a square platform with line markings to help determine AOE boundaries. The fate of worlds must be determined in this kind of room specifically, again.

Remember when they tried experimenting with that big dragon at the gates of judgement outside ishgard. That long path instance with some towers we could climb vertically to release traps.

They really never wanted to experiment with the shape of rooms ever again huh. Nah just keep having bosses provide us square platforms to host our battles, even magically floating ones if necessary.

Not that I don't prefer more experimentation but the reason they backed off of that level of experimentation specifically was because the original state of Steps of Faith required a lot more coordination and environment interaction than the average MSQ duty, and as a result it would either take way too long or lead to wipes often.

I think his point here is that they made one mistake (which wasn’t even a mistake on the arena design which was good) and they have overcorrected for the last 10 years

Zermous had markings on its arena for AOE’s; eulogia has markings on her arena for menphina’s AOE’s, menphina has markings on her arena for the same AOE’s

Like can we tone it down a bit
