I tried on hard. by the time that hard became a problem I was too far in to justify starting again. this is entirely a me problem, but like these are glaring oversights, this shit was not playtested:

new boss fight. party instantly silenced. no item so far has silence immunity. boss spams this move every 4 moves. boss has 3 other monsters. one of them also has the same move that instantly silences everyone on your party. another enemy makes everyone take 25% more phys damage. another enemy hits everyone for 75% of their health. don't even THINK about buffing your party because one of them counters that too and just attacks you if you try for half of your health

some dude is like 'you have to default for the first two turns or you lose'. one of my guys is dead before he gets his turn

im looking up other peoples videos of this stupid fight on hard and everyone has at least 30% more playtime than me just fuckn grinding enemies in this boring fucking game

fuck this stupid game. every random encounter is just me drowning in status ailments and getting countered by enemies i've already identified because they dont include counter information in their info sheets. they include weaknesses and health on them, but not resistances???? this game was made by an imp.

what kind of game with 100 sidequests doesn't have a quest log. who fuckn made this shit?? collective effort to make the dumbest fuckn game of all time
