I've recently played catch-up through the story and I've been forced to do all of the dungeons and trials since Endwalker, and it pains me to say I haven't enjoyed myself in any of them. And those are just the story related ones, mind you.
This game is such a dreadful experience when it comes to dungeons and trials that I only do them once when required and never touch them again afterwards if it can be helped. There is no chance of me having any interest in raiding.
99% of MMOs have bosses with scripted mechanics.

Some Bosses are on a timeline, while others are based on the boss's HP. Stop vomiting the same stupid nonsense about DDR and how SE needs to completely reinvent the wheel. A wheel that cannot be reinvented because it works this way for a reason.
