Because if so then pineapple it I dont care how good the story is I'll hate with a burning passion
Polished, but yes. It's much more...paradigm shift based, now. You can assign 3 captured monsters to your Paradigm Pack, each monster in the game has their own specific role that cannot be changed, so you will be switching between different monsters a lot. And, switching to SEN/SEN/SEN or SEN/SEN/MED are much more essential this time around; game overs are just time shifted back immediately so you never get the sense of actually "losing", but you still get destroyed against the harder hitters if you don't full SEN just for the passive 50% phys damage. I just finally managed to beat 100% Atlas, and the thing I'm finding to be a big issue with a lot of the later bosses is that the battle is lasting so long my Wound damage is actually taking my max HP down by several thousand, leading to an eventual 1shot on the party because I have not even half my max HP even fully healed for that battle. Especially the "final" battle. That thing lasted over an hour, and when I won my max HP on Serah was literally under 800, only reason I was able to win was because Noel has a much higher base so he could still stand the strongest hits in SEN+guard stance...lots of Phoenix Feathers wasted though.
