I both hate it and love it, but when you need to observe the boss's character model to determine what is coming next. It's nice to look at something else than colors on the ground, but I often do get confused and forget what stance equals what attack. But when you figure it out you do feel like a champ.

A mechanic I just don't like though is Zodiark's platform rotation. I'm just not good at that kind of stuff, and there's very little reason to try and figure it out yourself when people are already congregating on one spot in the map and it's just easier to follow along.
