The problem with using a LB early on in a boss fight is that often, you will only have 1 or 2 bars instead of the full 2-3 bars. Often, this last bar appears when the last boss reaches 1/2 hp.

This isn't true. You start with 1 bar in a 4 person party and 2 bars in an 8 person party. The extra bar gets added on as soon as you engage the final boss of the dungeon. For primals I don't remember if you start with 2 and get a 3rd upon engaging or just start with 3, but you have 3 bars for those.

Primals you start with 2 and build up to 3 as soon as you enter battle but any progress on LB bar is wiped as soon as you engage the primal. I've never seen a boss that has a last bar appear at lower HP.

Any fight where there are 3 bars, you start with 3 bars. You are correct that the third will always start empty, but the bar is there as soon as the fight starts.

EDIT: Ah, it seems we were agreeing and didn't realize it. Sorry.

Before the tank engages, it shows 2 bars. After the tank engages, 3 empty bars. I guess I didn't make myself clear. :P But ya you start with 3 bars as soon as the fight starts.
