theres only so many ways you can disguise the red circles....make them yellow now! and pulsating! Maybe make them look like plumes...but a dodge-the-circle fight is still a dodge-the-circle fight. I'm quite disappointed with raid design. They had a chance with CT to make something for large group that took some coordination, but its basically just dodge-the-circle, but for 3 groups instead of 1.

I thought RIFT had some very well designed raid encounters, especially in hammerknell. You had people going upstairs, and downstairs, and dodging rotating laser, and positioning drops and stuff. I hope FFXIV doesnt just stick with dodging red circles, cause that sorta stuff has limited shelf life.
