Discussion would the removal of paralyze be something healthy for the game?

90% of the bosses in the game die in seconds, the rest might get trivialized by Song but that's the fault of the boss design. Song has been around since the start, they can simply design phases with debuff (in)vulnerabilities and clarity or whatever the fuck they want to make the fight more interesting from the very beginning. But they didn't until UBahaHL. If you had to time para in a specific phase to skip one, that's a decent rewards, the boss can simply stay para'd for the entire duration for the debuffs if they would balance HP and DPS capabilities of teams then even a 3 minute frozen boss would be alright if we were to assume it doesn't get assblassted into oblivion during this time. But they neither design raids with dps checks or various other debuff mechanics. Let the boss activate a small damaging field while he's paralyzed, let it block skills, whatever, there can be a tradeoff for the security it offers.

Saying "it's just a mobile game" is a cop-out that compromises the integrity of your game.

Bullshit. There may be a niche playerbase but it doesn't justify scrapping the main appeal of a hard earned character for the rest of them for the entirety of the other game content. If Song makes buncle raids a piece of cake for them, so what? People don't start with Song, neither does everyone make her. If people want a challenge they can do older raids without her but my point is that most don't in this game. Also UBaha was the first content really designed after Song 5* release and meant to be a challenge. If they had any interest in adding more lategame content that only a small playerbase can enjoy, plus had better work ethic to begin with to not release content every 12 months, then we wouldn't be sitting here talking about this. I see a shitton of discussions like this only from the pov of someone who plays this game religiously for 2 years. My comment of it being a mobile game was directed at that, the majority does not play or think like those players and want the rewards that the QoL of Song 5*.
