SMT II seriously suffered from this problem. I remember a whole bunch of bosses in the mid-to-end game having ridiculously inflated HP whilst not being particularly difficult to beat. I don't know how anyone could put up with the drawn out battle times without sword fusion and Divine Retribution.

DIVINE RETRIBUTION IS A MUST

Seriously. I think I've seen people claim that it trivializes/breaks the game, but that's horseshit.
>Maybe 5 demons in the game actually know it
>Shiva, i.e. endgame-only, is the only one who can cast it more than once without depleting all their MP
>Only Anubis isn't alignment-locked
>Only worth casting more than once against a boss with incredibly inflated HP due to massive diminishing returns (so basically just YHVH and maybe Satan)
And all it really does is shorten the bossfight by a quarter, which generally makes it the length that it actually should have been in the first place.

I'd much rather the final boss be served high than be one of the weakest in the game. It's the thing I've saved all of these fucking items for. It's the thing I have 52 full restore items and 200 revives for.
Bring it.

>Damage cap for spells is 9999
>Damage cap for standard attacks should be the same but using buffs causes overflow so you go from 400 to 2 damage.
I know SNES games probably had fuck all testing time, but seriously.

Freya, Vivi and Steiner all had guarenteed 9999 damage moves by late-game. Zidane too, arguably, even not allowing for Trance.
>Game has a bunch of status effects
>Bosses are immune to all of them
What's the fucking point?
>Boss has gorillions of HP
>Has a weakness to a specific element so hit hit for a gorillion damage
>boss is immune to physical attacks
>MC can't use magic
>Final Boss has an attack that permanently removes a character from the battle
>It hits your DPS
>Battle becomes 10x longer
Fucking TiTS

It was only needed for YHVH anyway
