I'm inclined to agree with you, however, the truth is there's always at least one broken item or skill, and it breaks a lot of otherwise good games, so why not just pretend that it doesn't exist and make things more challenging and enjoyable? My prime example in cases like this is Maria in Star Ocean 3; with her you can technically clear the game on 4D at lowest possible level without anywhere close to best in slot gear, without her you will struggle against Freya at maxed levels with best in slot gear on easy mode. That's how big of a difference there is, everyone knows it, so why not just completely forgo using her in your battle party? It makes the game last much longer, makes it more about strategy and less about PRESS SPECIAL TO WIN, AIMINGDEVICEAIMINGDEVICEAIMINGDEVICEAIMINGDEVICE, and besides, Albel and Peppita are MUCH more fun to fight as because of their movement patterns while attacking, and most people don't even know this because from the second they pick up Maria they just main her and coast through the game.
