I agree 100% with op about the utter state of the game. Next xpac there will b no more hitboxes, positionals or mitigation, just a bunch of lobotomized jobs like summoner or sage standing around pressing 3 buttons, and then moving to another spot and doing their rotation because the only mechanics in the raids is stand here then move over there for a bit then stand in another spot for a bit for 10 minutes hooray. Remember when mmos had crowd control, kiting, talent trees and specializations, interacting with objects, teamwork and synergy, boss positioning, weaknesses, resistances, debuffs, no battle res, trash packs, puzzles, healer classes, challenge, a meta that’s not just 4 melee attacking Hephaestus or tree from anywhere on the map it doesn’t actually matter where you stand anymore cuz you can do the whole fight without even looking in the boss’ direction yadda yadda, I still love the game cuz im an addict but it’s definitly time for ff17, 10 years for this game is stretching it and now it’s too popular so they’re making it real dumb to cast the widest net
