Scripted fights.

[Pellegri]

I'll take a scripted fight anyday over the complete bullshit luck that is non scripted. I seem to remember very well what non scripted was like when playing a game called Mystic Quest....and the golems(I think) around the volcano along with most bosses. There are times they would do nothing but normal moves and times they would do nothing but try and put stone on you, and it was a party wide debuff not just single. Unless you could kill them in one turn or get the auto attack ones you literally had to bank on nothing but pure rng.

That is not fun when a mob does nothing but spams it's ultimate attack, especially when you have no way of either dodging it or being able to mitigate it every time. The moment you take out that possible ultimate spam and put cds on abilities you have gone back to scripted encounters, there is no inbetween.

Non scripted fights are not super hard but it makes the fights not stale, so with this mobs can use what ever they want and still have a set of rules, You can go watch 10 1.0 garuda fights and she will never do the same thing in every vid except do AB when she is @ 40% hp or below.

Like darnus hard mode in 1.0 when BG beat that ppl could not just jump and replicate that fight cause the fight will never be the same for you. In 1.0 If ifrit wanted to he would do eruptions 5 times in a row and u couldn't stun it!
