Normal A raids don't have that.
The first boss in CLL also had the party split up and time their kills with each other or it would also result in a wipe but it didn't punish the whole raid when a few people screwed up.
I see, thank you for elaborating. I assume the exclusive fights you're referring to are Lyon in CLL and the fire guy from Dalriada. Both are pretty simple, they just throw AOEs around the arena. It's more or less the same thing as Fafnir's wind phase in Jeuno, so I'm still a bit lost on why one would be midcore and the other not. Is it just the presence of an enrage timer? If so would you consider Jeuno midcore if it were exactly the same but every fight had an enrage?

Also, for the record the timing kills thing on the first CLL boss wasn't actually true, people just thought that was the case in the beginning and kept repeating it even after it was disproven. Killing one boss before the other just spawns infinite adds that are easy to kill. All you have to worry about is the overall enrage timer.

The community mostly complained about Bozja being boring visually and yet another fate system.
The raids themself where mostly liked but the how to get into them pissed people off and not the raids themself.
The rewards where also lackluster in the beginning where it was almost useless to do CLL more than once.
You say that's not true then list a number of things people complained about. I was here, I witnessed the numerous complaint threads. It's in the past so it doesn't matter now but it absolutely was the case.
