Just me or is the new Variant dungeon actively unfun?

[KageTokage]

It's kind of silly how many of the mechanics on the final bosses don't even appear in criterion/savage in favor of just repeating the same ones from earlier in the fight.

The "hidden" boss being excluded for both difficulties also strikes me as unusual.

Having vague telegraphs that are liable to blindside you the first time you see them is hardly exclusive to variant dungeons, though and kind of the basis for much of XIV's "difficulty" in general.
