Has it Been Mentioned? -- Guildhests

Yeah I agree that i liked when I had to watch the body language of Coincounter to see what was up. Yeah if it's yoyr 1st time you may get nailed with an attack but only one of them was punishing. I mean if you see a 10 ton attack that's an AoE and get hit with that and it hurt but you survived...it's safe to say when you see it again but it says 100 ton...that you should not be there.

Kinda wish they'd gone with the "flashes right before the hit" type of telegraph for the Coincounter, like Omega's Starboard/Larboard cannons. Too late to dodge, but at least you can see what happened for next time. Some of those attacks are a bit oddly shaped.

Remember Ultros and Typhoon?
You had to turn into Imps and absorb Ultros Water Attacks, then you'd use those stacks to prevent Typhoon's Sneeze.
You could actually wipe due to a ring out.

Rotational Sneeze was also interesting to dodge.

In the end, people complained a lot and that fight is just a shell of it's former self, I think it was around that time they just gave up trying to make different mechanics like that.

That's the kind of stuff games like GW2 and to an extent, WoW has; where you have to do this duty specific thing to do progress. In GW2 you have to fight waves of enemies and hitting them with a special hammer that absorbs the enemy's energy which you then use to unshackle a giant stone man.

square enix gave up on making games, now it's downsized to mario-level of pick-up and play.
