So... This is the "improved encounter design"?

To chime in on this, I really liked the Ultima, I think, was its name from Orbonne. The one where you start in a big rectangular area that then becomes a maze and then a small flat cicle and then back to the open area. I like fights like that.

But that's kinda towing the line that Stormblood had good content, which to me at least it did.

Stormblood definitely had better content than EW, I still think in terms of dungeon enemies and bosses it was a step down from what came before but yeah, it was still more than just dodging aoes which is good for all that bar is low.
