For sure. I remember the ye olde days of Rabnast where Rofocale was viewed as the TG Cid equivalent and you'd have to go through every single mechanic. Now the guy dies before the second marker add.

I also remember the joys of Lighthouse where Contruct 7 was the hurdle since people don't know how to run around him in a circle.

I'm in the same mind, I like checking in with people especially if the first couple of bosses take much longer then planned. When a Mustadio run gets in 3 analysis you start to become worried and make sure people know. It's just a matter if people actually pay attention and listen that determines if it's gonna be a good time.
