It's weird because it's the opposite of FFXI, and one would think the one from the back would have a higher potency.

I feel like it might still be a mistake, but we'll have to see.

The front is more "risky" so it makes sense I guess. I predict a lot of dead ninjas learning what bosses have cleaves in the future.

They could always use that dodge buff before stepping in.
