what is this, some kind of revisionist history?

DIRECT QUOTES from yoshida:

"上記についてですが、真ガルーダ討滅戦のガルーダAIのモード移行時に、
残HP割合チェックが外れていたために発生しています。
こちらについては、処理の修正を検討中です。
Regarding above (3min kill video) there is a remaining HP check issue in Garuda's AI and for this one we are looking into modification to fix it.

ですが、やはりエンドコンテンツとして、
今回の攻略方法が最速になるようには設計はしておらず、開発側の仕様漏れですので、
できるだけ「長く色々なクラス/ジョブ/DPS効率」をお試し頂けるように、調整を検討しています。
However for an end content we didn't plan it where this type of strategy is used and it's developments design flaw so we are looking into making adjustments where you can try with different class/jobs/DPS effectiveness."

As per Reinheart's translation thread

he VERY CLEARLY points out that the blm burn strat takes advantage of an error in garuda's HP check script and that since they never planned for people to be able to kill her without dealing with aerial blast, it needs to be fixed.

when people use a strategy that takes advantage of a KNOWN BUG (which yoshi just pointed out), which isn't supposed to be possible, it is the VERY DEFINITION of exploiting.

are you daft? but no, of course you'd defend it. you guys used the exploit.

cooooooooooooooooooool story.
