Ultimates are just becoming too easy

[TemporalFruitsAndVeggies]

1. Stop limiting fights to a max of 20 minutes. An ultimate should go beyond 20 minutes and range between 25-30 minutes.

Why stop there? I think Ultimates should be 24 hours long, minimum. It's supposed to be an "ultimate" battle, not something that can be done on a quick lunch break. It isn't "Futures Rewritten (Tuna Salad Sandwich and an Apple)"; it's "Futures Rewritten (Ultimate)." Make it ultimate. I should be hospitalized immediately after clearing.

2. There is normally a puzzle found in an ultimate and its incredible when you can progress the fight without the puzzle and realize you cannot continue without it and to find it is part of the challenge.

I personally think that every time you hit a specific phase, you should have a 1,000-piece jigsaw puzzle priority-shipped to the home address registered on your account; upon completion of the puzzle, the resolution to an upcoming mechanic will be revealed. Did you wipe? Don't worry: a new puzzle with a new resolution gets shipped to you.

3. The Boss HP needs to be compensated for when jobs get changed or buffed especially as the fight ages since everyone finds UCoB, UWU, TEA, and now DSR and TOP to be too easy since there is a guide and gear can sync down.

Agreed. If the enrage is possible to beat, the boss is too easy.

4. Mechanics need to stop being overly organized for execution. FF14 raids have always been a dance of where to go and what step to take and this needs to be tuned down dramatically.

I think one thing that would help is if, in addition to a controller or keyboard/mouse, Ultimates required players to plug in a standard DDR dance mat and intermittently perform extremely difficult dance maneuvers alongside executing mechanics and rotations. But the devs are scared to take risks, so they'll never do this.
