For the end of a JRPG story, it's so anti climatic. I think that takes away anything rewarding and resolute about the cut scenes to the ARR story. It's old content and probably never will be reworked, but if say they decided to improve it my suggestion would be to rebuild them to be a level 50 4 man dungeon so boss fights can have more engaging mechanics and be made to feel like they're at the end of a long quest.
There isn't much wrong with the boss fights, or the mechanics - although admittedly the mechanics are relatively simple.
No, the problem is that the dungeons are designed to be run with an item level of 50 or so, but people are typically running it with item levels 100+. That is what makes everything so easy. Try getting a group together sometime to run them on min ilvl - makes the fights much more fun.
