Strange Journey is so fun.
Curious that you post dragon quest, a series where you can inflict status effects on bosses.

you do not really need the hp, but for fucks sake, take Magus from CT for example, he did not even have the absorb thing

this is why DD was even more annoying
>>320281501
Yeah, it's not really the hp that's the problem, it's the "LOOK AT ALL THESE KICK ASS SPELLS AND ABILITIES I HAVE!" and then having none of them when they become a party member.
On that note

Fuck having to use ailments on bosses to get rare drops. Only thing I don't really like about EO.
>>320282526
If I happen to get a conditional drop without trying to I consider it a happy accident, otherwise getting them is part of the postgame completionist grind that I may or may not bother with. I don't think there's anything really wrong with it though.

Bonus points for backtracking to earlier levels where you'll still encounter the lv1 rats.

I had almost forgotten how annoying this was until I played some of the pre-gen IV Pokémon.

But thats what formaldehyde are for you imbecile. Even so though...

I'm so looking forward to enemies being able to partner up in FE: Fates.
>>320284558
This really pisses me off when the background music is actually good.
