I mean, I could agree that the devs don’t seem to care much anymore about jobs having ‘FF flavour’ or references. Like, many of them ( *cough* Bard *cough ) have barely any resemblance or similarities to how they appear traditionally in FF. Like, White Mages don’t even use Cure or Cura! It’s a travesty I tell you!

Obviously though this only applies purely in design concept and not in actual practice cuz, you know, MMO lol.

I don’t think it’s ‘impossible’ to try and use inspiration from previous FF games and the way they present/execute their boss fights to inform how they’ll do it here. But in the same way, that can really only apply in purely conceptual terms - one it gets to ‘practical terms’ it then needs to be converted in an ‘MMO’ appropriate mechanic (which apparently means DDR lol)
