Yeah i agree with you, and i've never said the opposite. The fire guy was obviously a big whale and i don't expect any regular player to do the same thing. But mate, we are talking about someone one shooting a boss, he's not even playing anymore at this point.
What i'm saying is that, its hard content, not undoable content, and imo ppl are worrying a lot for nothing.
Look at this one (who is a whale as well) : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Syp1F-3f4Ys
He has better than average weapon grid for sure, but on the other side his team has nothing too fancy and is reachable trough miracle ticket (looks like mine; Artemis put aside), his Eidolons are obtainable trough events (he only has mlb Fafnir but on the downside, his friends eidolon is only 92%), his main eidolon is the 45% from raid, he is using Mordred, which isn't really the top damage soul, and doesn't have PF.
Despite all of this, it only takes 2 turns to get from 0 trough stun phase.
Now you, Slashley, are doing this.
Your weapon grid isn't that great but you optimize your team, either by doing a sustain build to be able to tank one overdrive, or doing a PF build to quickly nuke the rage phase.
Maybe your team comp isn't that great because you're a rainbow user, but then you're relying on element advantage.
It takes more turns for you to kill the boss, you're like "oh crap" when a debuff miss or one of your KH gets 3x hit, you'll die sometimes because of shitty RNG, but its not undoable.
AS you said, just as AQ4 actually is.

Friend eidolon isn't really an issue. Even if no one wants to be your friend, lets say cause some ppl thinks you have a huge ego (don"t get triggered! i'm not one of them ), that's 3 quest per days only. You can still wait for a random to show up.
Debuff missing or bad rng in general is a problem, but its already the case. rng is rng... By that time, if your team doesn't include either Sphynx, Vof or debuff rate accessory on crucial KH to minimize the risks, it means that you did not prepare correctly.
