+1 to the idea though, would be nice to get the training area expanded upon in future patches.
What's interesting about the Maat fight is that, for pretty much all jobs, it would encourage (if not mandate) you to properly use your unique job abilities, spells, and overall skill level with them. In some cases, it was possible to win in different ways. THF was encouraged to win through using their Steal ability successfully... or just beat the old man into submission. Neither of those options were easy, either because RNG (Steal) or because of the fact that Maat would beat your ass down insanely fast lol. It wouldn't necessarily teach every job potential boss mechanics, but it did force you to learn how to play properly with death looming over you for messing up something. What's funny is that you later learn that even Maat has someone he fears... and you have to fight him for the last level cap break.
