Not him and I can only call it an improvement in something really bad becoming average but throughout EW bosses were way too formulaic. They had a fairly rigid flowchart of what they would do, you get your vuln bad boy stamp if you fucked up a mechanic, but fortunately because it was such a flowchart you simply needed to get your choreography down perfect. Now bosses will have a small level of randomness in their moves. Before if they cleaved left, you can be sure they were going to cleave right before doing another left because that's "fair". Several DT bosses have said fuck you, pay attention or I'll go left twice if I feel like it before doing a single back and forth. It's a minor improvement, but I'll take it. I remember back in 1.18 doing Ifrit Ex and because it was aping FFXI combat ideas sometimes he'd do Eruption like 4 times in a row and it was really annoying to play melee DPS for that fight. Then the next fight he does a bunch of tankbusters instead and the DPS get to really open up on the boss. Give me a modicum of randomness so I'm not doing the same dance forever.
