    Why I have no interest in Coils more specifically, T9.

    Boss fights are typically a test of your reflexes. A test of how fast you can avoid a bosses attack. While it may not kill you, it will leave you in a world of hurt. Its a battle of avoidng

    Coil doesnt do those fights very well I feel. Youre not a warrior fighting monster, youre a student studying for a test. Youre not avoiding their attacks with your reflexes. Youre a pencil pusher following a pattern. The majority of the fight is just "drop rocks here then she'll do this after that drop more rocks here after she does this then repeat." Thats not my idea of fun or challenging. I feel that no matter how hard a boss is, you should be able to defeat it on your first blind run through skill alone. T9 doesnt allow that. If you go in blind, all the meteor mechanics will likely wipe everyone until you eventually know what to do. And eve if you do go in blind, youll still need to memorize a pattern. So again, the boss is just following directions. Its like your boss is nagging at you.

    Before anyone says "You cant take a challenge" Allow me to say I do enjoy a challenge. But T9 doesnt offer an interesting or engaging challenge. If I wanted to play a memory game, I'd go buy a puzzle game. I dont feel triumphant when I beat a boss that follows a pattern. I just feel like I followed it long enough until it finally flops over.
