This has been a long standing issue that ties to many of the earlier job quests and all sort a of things. It's not a difficulty issue it's just a clarity issue. It's why people have suggested npc speech bubbles or audible voices and stuff a few times over the years for some such events.
While this is fair... the sudden appearance of a Limit Break button on your hot bar alone is kind of smacking you upside the head with what needs to be done. Personally I'd love to be given more abilities for these sort of things, but uh... it's threads like this that show why we can't get that.
