Here is the thing: it is a trap for new players if new players are only looking for the AOE markers and ignoring all of the other cues. This fight was to break muscle memory so that when you did harder content, you would be looking out for other cues besides the AOE marker.

If people did that, Steps of Faith would not be the wipe-fest as it was released and still after the initial nerfs, complaining about Shinryu, and the raid-ender known as TGCid.

As for the mentioning of action games, Goji opened the door for that one and allowed that one in when he mentioned DS. Goji is the one who owns the frame of the conversation. He could've brought up another MMO (Blade an Soul for example). Of course, I mentioned the shortcomings from that comparison in another post to him.

FFXI, is an MMO, just so you can separate that out from the two more-action oriented games I have referenced.
