Just like in Dawn of Sorrow have the ability to have different equipment sets. In Order of Ecclesia the three different sets you can switch between was only the glyphs you had equipped. Take it a step further by also switching the equipment of each of those sets just because some glyphs in that game like magic required more INT boosting equipment but the physical glyphs required STR boosting gear.
Sets may or may not be changed on the fly while the game is in motion but at the very least allow equipment sets and skills sets be made in the menu screen for convenience.
This can even be implemented as a game enhancer by allowing quick changes between 3 sets like in OoE, but with the added effect of equipment changing, you can have a boss whose weakness changes depending on the form it has one form is fire based, another is lighting and finally water.
For the fire form u can have water based skills and fire reducing armor in one set, for lighting an earth based skills and lighting reducing gear in another and for water a lighting based skill and water reducing equipment.
Mastering quick slot switching can be encouraged by giving certain equipment weakness to other elements so that managing your inventory and the quick slots will greatly increase the engagement of the player. Mind you this should not be forced on the player as this way the gameplay is inviting to new players but can be greatly engaging to experienced players. Even build the hard difficulty mode with this in mind.
To cap this point off this is not just for bosses you can also do this in the way enemy placement is used in the castle. Lets say you have a physical set, magical set, and a movement set.
