Is it just me, or is the new Bahamut fight terrible?

Everything about this new perspective thing is just bad for this fight. Makes hitboxes, waves, etc very unclear.

The only thing is makes unclear for me is where the glowing bombs he spits out in the background are going. Everything else I don't have any problem with, and that attack is fairly easy to dodge anyway.

I think the new graphics obscure a lot of things. I started playing the original after getting massively annoyed with the remake, and all of those tablets/skeletons referring to visual clues suddenly /make sense/.

I like that you can't fall off the boat. That was one of the biggest pieces of fake difficulty in the original I think.

The only place where perspective is an issue when it comes to hitboxes is when New!Bahamut is doing the thing where he leaps out of the water in an arc and moves towards you, and I think that's supposed to be difficult to land a hit on.

Your calling me a nerd only means that you are agreeing to my superior intellegence.

Whether or not a wave is going to push you up is unclear now too.

Falling off the boat probably wouldn't be as much of a pain now since water damage drains your health much slower, they probably could have kept that.

I have never played a game with good "jumping out of water" physics, so anything that limits those kinds of situations are always preferable.

I thought the new perspective was pretty cool. The boss is a nightmare though if you don't at least have the axe or flares. The old battle was annoying because of falling off the damn boat.
