It's boring and really stupid and whoever comes up with design like that should be dragged behind the barn and shot in the ear.

Random chance to instantly die is stupid in every game I see it in, no matter which side can use it. It's dumb when I can use it on enemies, and when enemies can use it on me.
I know about Vanille's ability. It didn't work on bosses, but how many strategies for killing Adamantoises are literally just "summon Eidolon, spam Death until it sticks, reset if it gets back up before it dies"?

Stupid, stupid mechanic.
