Pirates post your keyboards

I guess that's a difference between regional versions.. cause I'm able to kill all the area bosses on kMS (that I'm able to take a hit from) before they summon anything, and none of the ones I go to ever have any other monsters in the way. with stuff like bigfoot and anego, I'm sure homing would be useful.

I have homing set on my spacebar though so if I ever need it, I just tap it real quick and go back to my controller. it doesn't slow me down or anything lol.

Oh, if it's on your spacebar, I guess it's no problem. When I fight area bosses, I basically run up to them, jump, and smack them with a Homing before proceeding to fight. Not always useful, but it helps when they do summon. I also have to use Homing every time Pianus/Pap dispels, so I like to keep it handy.

Once in a while, I do find it helpful to kill a monster in the back of a group at Newties.
