As someone who moved from Warrior to Viper in the hopes of finally playing a class that asked players to pay attention, Square's decision to completely walk away from that here has basically destroyed my hope that they'll ever deliver a new class kit that's actually engaging (or one that asks that players manage literally anything) ever again.

If not for Dawntrail finally introducing a modicum of difficulty back into the game with these new trials/fights, I'd have quit this patch. The moment encounter design goes back to being class designs' level of braindead, I'll just drop the game until 8.0.
