Skill based fights..

[Richiealvian]

So, from these posts.. I'd assume.. that what people don't like is the entire system itself? I mean from the game's perspective, they've done all they can with the fights.. right? Except the random part. Well, conflagrations' target is kind of random.. Landslide's target is random.. Who gets gaoled is random.. And um, Chimera's rotations are random? Blue eyes, Violet eyes? I found that interesting. But just like with each and every fight there is in every game out there.. All fights are just the same with reskinned images, aren't they?

I personally quite like what XIV has to offer. They've been quite creative, but of course your first victory's the charm. Any wins after that would have lost it's OH YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH moment..

Edit:@above..

When I go into new fights, I expect to lose. If I can win it within my first try, that's such a phail boss battle.. Remember playing Kingdom Hearts(if you did) and beating Sephiroth? I went from not being able to dent him at level 99 to able to beat him with a level 50 character.. And I still think it's a very badass battle. I didn't watch any videos beating the EX primals at all, took me about 30 hours to finally win Titan (cumulated, played 3 days 10 hours each) and now I kind of find the fight very relaxing. But these all satisfy me.

What doesn't satisfy you guys? Is it because of the internet age, you can't help but spoil yourself on how people beat it and then went and watched videos?

For me, the charm is losing, and not knowing where I did wrong, then ask others or try figuring that out myself until I can defeat the boss.
