I already focus target out of habit after so many years of healing. That doesn't address camera issues throughout the game.What helps is keeping an eye on the bosses cast bar. This will give you a heads up on what's coming so you know how to react. With the camera zoomed out to the max this should make it doable if you keep the camara facing forwards. For marx smash if he's punching with his right go left, punching with left go right. If he holds both arms straight up stand in the middle of the front section. If he holds them both spread out stand at the sides of the back section. The only time you need to watch the sides is for Marx Activation. Hope that helps.
The camera is also a mechanic
There are definately some bad camera situations. This just doesn't seem to be one of them to me. With the camara zoomed out I can see absolutely everything in front. Only having to turn it for Marx Activation.

A lot of the raid bosses and a couple of dungeons make me pull my camera all the way back to a point my character is tiny. It feels more like a Diablo-like game that way than an MMO. I don't think you can have an array of mechanics any other way though.
I usually just stare at the enemy list instead of the boss now. I still pan out to see mechanics.
the only thing you need to do is move the camera when you see the boss move to get confirmation which aoe it will be using.
Ye we need fov adjustment or wide-screen feature, since long time..
There are widescreen mods already, official version would be better though
let me tell you, it's a lot of fun on a laptop lol
But yeah, not fond of large bosses either. By the time I zoom out and look all over, rotate and make sure whatever bit I'm trying to spot didn't clip out of existance cause I can't see it, and death mechanic is happening. I take it's part of the challange so I don't complain much but I'm definitely not fond of larger bosses for this exact reason.
I have noticed a couple of times during Hades Ex in P4 when hugging the side of the area for Dark Current, I could not see anything. I think because of the wings and me being a lala.
I do like variety in boss size though. Hopefully they can fix the camera a bit to fit larger scale fights.

I'll have to agree, there are too many bosses bigger than camera view, even pulled out completely. It might be a PS4+controller thing, but that also makes them untargetable. Widen the view or shrink the monsters.
I use a laptop so screen size is not great, I don't play most fpov games because I get motion sick with them. Having some kind of cue in the ui that does not require constant spinning/rotating would really help. For example showing small side/back indicators on tiny map? Don't want to lose the process difficulty, just want to be able to see it without nausia.
