Can't Continue, Not what I was Hoping

[Espon]

Much like other Final Fantasy games, this game puts a huge focus on its story, something a lot of other MMORPGs don't do.

I have never seen a player get chastised for dying to any mechanic. Whether you're new or a veteran, stuff happens, you get ressed, and the fight continues. The best way to learn is through our mistakes, and if dying during a new encounter unacceptable to you, then perhaps a far easier game where it's impossible for fail would be more suitable.

That aside, I don't recall many instant death mechanics in this game. I know Doom exists, and you can usually esuna it or get your health fully healed to remove it, but other than that I can't think of anything. There are probably more than I realize, because as I am typing this I remembered one of the later bosses hits you with either a red or blue laser and you have to alternate the color you get hit by and same for some other bosses

One of the earliest I can think of is the first boss in the Temple of Qarn. I've seen plenty of new players die to doom because they didn't realize or notice fast enough that it can be removed by standing on the glowing tile. Next would be Titan and not moving out of Landslide fast enough. But honestly, it's not a big deal dying to something new.
