Yeah I have no idea why they did this with Persona 5.

They honestly didn't fix that? You'd think every review of P3 ever having the line "hey, this is really fucking annoying" would have prompted some sort of response.

That's how persona games work in general.

Haven't beaten 5 yet so I don't know if it's in 5 but in 4 you can get "survive light/dark" attacks to avoid instakills.

I like Nocturne, but your demons fighting to the end is a nice touch in smt4, especially during a boss fight and none have healing know how or recarm and they barely pull through for you.

i fucking love it

Fucking Wiegraf, I hate that I couldn't bring Orlandu to fuck him in the ass.

>>384110771
Yeah, and it's shit in action games when you can do wild, crazy shit on normal enemies but bosses are just damage sponges that can do crazy shit against you.

I know it's an unpopular opinion to hate on boss battles, but boss battles tend to fuck up games for me more often than not.
