The problem with that is a good portion of the player base does not want to do things that take more than half a brain cell. That is why when they do come up with interesting fights, they get nerfed quickly and the fights also seem to becoming less and less complex.

But outside of that, they just really need to start thinking outside of this really small box they have put themselves in when it comes to systems like Eureka and Bozja. It doesn't necessarily need to be punishing and difficult, although I wouldn't scoff at a good challenge, but it needs to at least be interesting. Something that even years later you want to go back and do because it was different and fun and rewarding. Not just fates or even upscaled fates like crit engagements.
