Final boss is fightable at any point in the game but is insanely strong until you train/get the correct gear.

>>384565862
Devil May cry has that kinda. Using a joke during a combo "finishes" the combo or something, I don't recall it properly. I mean that it counts like a combo finisher and it doesn't break it, + it gives you some more energy back.

The technique is even used in some speedruns or no damage S rank runs as it helps keep the demon meter full while attacking.

The fact that taunting is a legit technique for high-level plays in a DMC game is incredibly fitting.

Are you talking about Butters or Kenny? Because Kenny is a useless shit and Butters was never a joke character except story-wise.

>having a party member that can heal either himself or you for 35+% every turn as a free action from level 1

Butters ruined the game in a sense because of how early you get him, and him being the uncontested best companion for combat. So you never really need to switch out, and miss the dialogue for every other party member, which I hear is pretty funny.
