The hardest part for me to get used to is is the Sword Spin aura mechanic!
If the Boss has Dark Aura BLOCK
If the Boss has Light Aura = DO NOT Block, You wont die from the damage
It would be a lot easier if the mirror puzzles and aura puzzles had been left in the alerts/rampage, so people could have learned how those things work outside of hte Therakiel fight.
Also, something i learned that isn't on kamokami's graphic: there doesn't seem to be a good visual clue as to which of light/dark therakiel will be while he's shielded (or at least it doesn't stand out to me), you have to click on him and find the icon to check. Kind of annoying.
I don't care what other games are doing; it's still bad game design. I've never played either TERA or FFXIV, nor do i care to do so. This kind of thing was fine in the 80s when no one knew good game design from a hole in the ground, but most modern games do have 'mini-tutorial' sorts of set-ups for new mechanics because its simply good game design. That there's a few hold-out dinosaurs is their problem, not a reason to do it. And what's the point of 'surprise! unknown mechanic!' We should want most people to learn to do it, not make this exclusive content that only the most hardcore players can do.
I mean, your conception is sort of like the 1980s 'you have to read the manual before playing the game', except the publisher isn't even providing the manual!
