    While we are dying on the bridge over and over and trying to kill vishap

    Random ranting towards lore.

    So, the Steps of Faith trial.

    This whole dragon army is on Ishgardian's front door, quite literally, and they have like, what, 2~3 squad of infantry troops in total of like 3 dozens men at most?

    C'mon Ishgard, get your shit together.

    Because the attack is not just happening at the bridge. all areas around Ishgard are being assaulted by dragons (more than the light forces we faced prior to the trial). If they had concentrated all their forces on the Steps of Faith that could leave another area weak and hit by the dragons.

    Okay then. that's what I'll do. I'll tell you a story. Can you hear them? All these people who lived in terror of you and your judgement. All these people who's ancestors devoted themselves to you, sacrificed themselves to you. Can you hear them singing?

    Don't forget. These guys fight dragons for a living. Yet they'll stand in front of XYZ's dragon's mouth and get one shot'd by a dragon breath....

    Attack strategically from the beast's flank or rear? That is the COWARD'S way! Clearly, you are no Ishgardian!

    I attacked under his belly, it's a nice way of not being crushed by his massive legs ^^.

    We've already seen monster that can reposition (like alexandrite map mobs that always surround you), certainly they can apply this AI to NPC partners like the knights in Steps of Faith or chocobo companions. Have them attack the flank or rear if not tanking, or heck, even circle around to dodge AoE.

    All that goes out the window anyway once to the damn turtle spawns.
