What is going on with Square Enix and the 14 team?

Given how some people seem to be rankled over a checkpoint in ultimate, I wonder how long till folks clear and we'll hear complaints about ult being dumbed down for accessibility.

Everyone whose got to golden bahamut messed up nael at some point after trying to get back to golden, so if the fight is particularly long because of cutscene or just more phases and it ends up at 30m then the checkpoint makes sense from an exhaustion perspective

also surprise! almost all the mechanics seen so far are one shots with little healing. yoshida's go play ultimate again
ph wait we knew that was coming.
never know, phase 3-6 could have more healing required. Tea had j waves and LL i suppose. Everything else just usual 60s spikes in older ults

There's already been a thread

Not my content but from what I've seen from folks I follow on Twitter, the reception is generally positive for the exhaustion aspect as you mentioned.
