No, there needs to be more stuff like Shinryu in the MSQ. It's precisely because this game is so brain dead easy half the time people panic whenever there's a sudden spike. And it's why they don't bother learning. Going through Stormblood, you can pretty much do a basic 1-2-3-4-5-6 and clear almost everything. Susano and Lakshmi may be a little bit of a hurdle but not much. The lack of a proper difficulty curve is why the gap between player skill is so enormous.

Regardless, Shinryu is the final boss of the expansion proper. Back in Heavensward, we had Thordan who was a massive disappointment. He was so damn easy you could literally ignore half his mechanics and still win. Nowadays, people make a game out of how much they can stand in. He's that much of a joke. Hardly what I would call an epic conclusion for Heavensward.
