Do you consider fun to memorize fights?

Casting bar, same way people did in 1.0. Set log to a battle log and can see when a move is going to happen and react. Or have the enemy do something, like Titan lifting his foot you know he is going to push you to the end.

Titan already does do something for mountain buster. It is right left swipe animation on tank, then mountain buster. As healer the moment I see that swipe I know to spam heals in phase 5.
Titan also randomly turns away from the tank right before a landslide.

So yes there are already cues. I don't have phase 5 memorized. I react to what I see coming next based on Titan's animations.

I'd rather just have every encounter do Weight of the Land every 3 seconds ALL THE TIME.

WHOOO!!!

Yah the little mechanics are easy to randomize and encounters like Ifrit X already do this. As long as abilities have a "Readying.." line in the battle log and/or a cast bar, they can be mitigated/avoided. They just might require a slightly longer windup/cast time to allow for player reaction. Randomizing the BIG mechanics can be a clusterfuck though and ruin the fluidity of the fight. Consecutive charges in Ifrit for example would create an extended period where he is unattackable. Charge into roomwide plume would be a similar situation and one that would likely kill people. Basically if we were given more randomized fights we wouldn't get the big bombastic abilities. It would be a lot more little things like randomly spawning adds and targeted moves like single Landslides and eruptions.

You are right, there are definitely ways to do it, I guess I was just assuming they kept the current system. I would love more random fights as long as (being a tank) I could mitigate at the right time.

I fail at the forums forever, but as I meant to say, I don't mitigate Mountain Buster. I eat it for breakfast.

When you beat something in XIV its like you've done it a million times

You can probably go in any of the primals after you farmed it and beat it with a blindfold on

It would be nice if they give us some challenge... something that keep us on our feet

[Phe]

at least extreme primals should have random attacks.

[astrobearthe2nd]

lol SE should totally make coil 6-9 and levitation Ex have super random moves....so i can watch each one of these posters come back a week later after 2.2 goes "OMG WTF SE IN BOSS BATTLE RNG? YOU SUX!!11QQQQ"


dead serious about this suggestion.

[Zfz]

If I remember correctly, Yoshi-P mentioned the fact that the primals were designed this way because it's "that kind of content".

From the way he said it, I wouldn't be surprised if there are finally some elements of randomness in 2.2 content.

[Bufkus]

Sorry, but adding RNG to primals/raids would just cause 10x more QQing then there already is.
OP, you think you want it, but I guarantee, the second they add it, you will be among the first to complain.
