I'm with Cottonmouth on this one. While I'm part of the small group that enjoyed water combat (Lance FTW), I like Lagi's design A LOT, he's one of my favorite monsters and I'm glad to have him back even if the fight will be different. If I want to fight him in water, well, I can go and play 3U of something.

I prefer to have him locked to land in this game, than not having him at all. Or course that's just my opinion and I understand why some people are disappointed. What I'm REALLY curious about is if we're gonna have a (heavily) revamped Abyssal Lagi. Now THAT would feel weird, but I'm not against it at all.
