Why I have no interest in Coils more specifically, T9.

As OP already said, he doesn't want to study, he is not in school, he wants fun.
If you have to memorize anything, it is not fun and it has nothing to do in game.
FFXIV should be one long corridor and every boss should have manual (how to kill it) above its head.

Sorry if I missunderstood anyone, that's what I got from this thread.

FFXIV isn't even a challenge man, all you do is read up and then you down things in one go, ITS SO SIMPLE.

Y'all can sit here with your Primals and your easy raids, i'm gonna go get me some real hardcore gaming over at hello kitty online adventure!

W/ Turn 9, if you get to Heavensfall and wipe, it would be real nice if you could just start right back at the start of the Heavensfall phase, and not have to do the dumb meteors>golems>meteors>golems phase again.

This. My group can get to heavensfall no problem, but once we start learning the mechanics, a single screw up means we have to start again, and go through all the stuff just to get back to where we were. It's so frustrating, and BORING.

I'm not asking for the mechanics to be easier - just save us the time that we spend on the first set of phases, especially on fights that give you (and often take) over 10 mins to clear.

I agree, but it might be hard to implement though. It's not exactly a path shortcut.

I feel that no matter how hard a boss is, you should be able to defeat it on your first blind run through skill alone.

^ This made me go lolwut though and I'm not even a raider, I just complete things for the story.
