The VFX issue

[AmiableApkallu]

I wonder how much of this VFX issue is tied up in the fact that boss hitboxes are sometimes so large that melee-range jobs are able to stand out in Narnia and still hit the thing. How exactly do you animate a sword strike when the boss isn't actually in range of your sword? (No one be crazy and suggest that hitboxes should actually match the size of the things being hit...)

But but... I'm very in favor of shrinking hit boxes. I'm talking like 75%-90% reduction.
