Eh, I dont mind the idea of having fights where you can still recover from a death or what not(I mean realistically you can recover in t9 though), but i dont really want the fight where i can go I saved all your asses. That feeling may be nice, but id rather have the feeling of accomplishing something together where all played their part well, as i did tonight when my grp beat t9 for the first time.

Overall I disagree with the OP. I like the mechanics-driven fights. I like learning the dance, and dealing with a little randomness here and there. I liked finally getting titan ex with a grp of people in an LS who also wanted to get it down no matter how many times they wiped at first. Not saying the game cant improve, i just dont think OP's suggestions would improve it. But alas, i do not feel like writing an essay on the matter. So I bid you adieu.
