Can you give me some examples of these "big hit" moves that you're talking about? As of now I've only fought Ifrit and his stuff is very easy to avoid with the exception of some really stupid bad camera problems. Granted I didnt tank, but being as you're up against the wall I imagine the camera issues.. so what are these big swings? Most moves from monsters in the game are completely unavoidable unless its a charge ability (like the dodo). So do end game bosses do maneuvers that are dodge-able? I know this is off topic. ;p
