Turn 5 Twister Strategies Compendium

[kukurumei]

Considering only one person in the whole community considered that "Dalamud" might be a corruption of "Bahamut" before it opened (and they were ignored), I'd say that such hints were readily obvious in hindsight, but the leap to fathom such hints in advance is much harder. After all, it seems no-one else managed to use that 'hint' to guess the mechanic.

That's a loser's argument. If this was in the main game, yes, it would be unfair, but this is a category "secret post game boss". You are entitled to nothing, but to pit against sly developers.

Maybe the age of RPG is gone, and people expect to be spoon fed missing links, but any RPGer will get the crude but effective developer's joke.

Instead of saying "Haha you got us developers", it is "Why didn't you tell us better!" That is downright sad.

Joke bosses are an old an proud tradition in RPG world, that's why BG gets credit where credit is due. They actually did a leap of faith to pierce through the developer joke.

I'm not crude enough to invoke the "W" mmo where people expect normality, but they went "traditional" and this is the very essence of "traditional" "secret boss" routine. Now eat the up-up-down-down-left-right-left-right flabbergasted moment.
