I don't think the fight is that bad either... once you know these attacks and where they hit. But that's not quite the same thing as "every mechanic is easily visible and understandable". IMO if someone says that about a fight, the average Joe who goes into it blind should be able to understand what to do as the fight progresses without having to eat any deaths due to not knowing what to do.
Some mechanics are meant to be seen before learned. It is "easily visible and understandable" in the sense that you can see what it does and understand it, not necessarily "know" beforehand what it does. With landslide, in particular, it is a "trick" mechanic in that the safe zone is the opposite of previous landslides, at least initially. But once you've seen it, you can understand it.
