Not quite terrible enough not to do it, though ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I can understand that it might feel frustrating but at the same time (as someone that barely played any other FF) I am happy that an old FF boss is not one of the big trials of the final arc. Let them be creative and at least give us new ones for the MSQ trials. We (imo) get enough fanservice stuff in the other parts of the game.
My feelings are mixed on this. I think it would have been more poetic to make Anima the first trial. Along with the Ascians, Garlemald was the "big threat", and to not have that resolved with a trial just feels like they got shafted. Add to that the fact that I think the final boss's design/concept is pretty...bad?, so I could have done without that whole affair and just skipped it altogether for the final solo duty.
There is some small hope that we might get an ultimate trial that could assemble some of the one-off primals into something vaguely coherent, maybe something FFX-themed Garlemald-tour:
* Yojimbo (Doma)
* Ixion (Gyr Abania)
* Magus Sisters (Thavnair)
* Anima (Garlemald)
It could work, even though I think the devs will not be considering it for a while, given that the more likely Ultimates that will take precedent include:
* Thordan and Nidhogg
* The Warring Triad (and Kefka?)
* The Four Lords of the East
* The Lightwardens
* The Weapons
* (Maybe) The Oracles of Light and Darkness
* (Maybe) Gilgamesh and ExDeath
* (Maybe but hopefully not) The Lunar Primals
I had expected Anima to be a trial, not a dungeon boss. However, we were never told it would be anything in particular so that's a self-imposed expectation.
I feel like the character of Anima played an important enough role, though, so I'm not disappointed. It might not have been a huge boss, but it was a very significant plot point.
Diablos atleast got an alliance raid so it was close to his real experience.
Im disappointed anima and the disters were not a trail fight. Extremly disappoint and a little angry.
Yojimibio was a summon you could rlly only get by paying gil so it made sense for him not gettong it but this two it doesn't
FFX's also my first FF game 20 years ago and probably is also my favorite (it's hard to pick one) and I also was expecting Anima to be a trial boss (primals usually are).
That said, I'm glad I got FFXIV ORIGINAL characters as trial bosses.
Yoshida have 0 respect for Final Fantasy X.
Ixion is a buged fate
Yojimbo is use by gold saucer
And now Anima is a bad donjon fight
Community ask for blitzball he just laugh ...
So happy before the release to thinking farm Anima/magus x time for take the mount and do good parse !
Now just need to quit this game, farm x time and tryhard bad boss out of yoshi's imagination again is unthinkable for me.
