Like it's been 6 years since I've done Garuda EX but I still remember that Suprana buffs Garuda's HP while Chirada buffs Suprana's HP so the off tank has to grab it and tank it far away and you gotta tank swap the Spiny Plume or it wipes the raid (would this even be possible nowadays without Flash?) and that's basically all the major mechanics in that fight.
Same with Ramuh - tank swap after 3 orb stacks, if you get tethered grab 3 orbs also and kill adds without staying in the water too long.
Some of these old fights are quite deceptively simple, we've come a long way since then with stuff like Zodiark twisting the arena and forcing you to figure out where things will end up on the fly.
If I don't do the thing multiple times to actually ingrain it, no amount of study will actually commit it for me in the long run like that :x

It might work at the time, because information is nice and fresh. But once that's done, odds are I'm going to forget it. Like, I still remember some stuff about E11S, but if you were to ask me about it, I'd likely stumble all throughout.
