Why not just make everyone a DPS?

The trinity system works when you use properly tuned combat mechanics and are not limited to PS3 standards. I mean look at ESO it is a trinity and works great AND every boss fight is NOT a circle room....

The reason boss fights are a circle room in this game is for balance reasons. It has nothing to do with platforms.

The reason boss fights are circle rooms is because ff14 devs are unimaginative.

No, its to avoid having mechanics unintentionally cheesed/broken by terrain.

Dhorme Chimera is a perfect example of this happening: Pulling it up the hill allows characters to have a far easier time avoiding several of the AoEs without even moving.

It was possible for ranged dps and healers to dodge Mortal Ray(which gives the instant kill Doom debuff) in the Teratotaur fight in Sunken Temple (NM) by climbing up the mount of sand in the room negating most of the fight's mechanics.

Got this in trial roulette the other day, was surprised people still did this. The fight was over in about 3 minutes if that. Seemed it took longer to walk to the hill and back than kill it.

The original arena for the T5 Twintania fight had an uneven floor and players figured out how to stand in a pit near the arena wall to trivialize the divebombs mechanic. Later on SE made the floor in the arena level but the players already knew where to go and the mechanic was not altered as Second Coil had been released at that point.
