Jade runs out of mp pretty quickly since her mana pool is so small & I can't resist multithrusting everything to death, so I gave her a Happy Hat to recover mp as I walk around

the switch to wizard classes getting their MP back easily through natural combat and taking small breaks to fighters being the ones that run out of steam is one of my favorite shifts in JRPGs. the fighters still have something to do so their resources are either nuisance clearers or a way to do crowd control in boss fights. it means the situation where you end up fighting 200 ice wolves in final fantasy 1 and just get bored never happens

Every boss fight so far is like: Sylvando Oomple Jade, Jade multithrust, MC/Hendrick are basically supports. They kabuff/magic shield/heal when necessary and put in decent dmg otherwise

I also got Jade the unblockable spear upgrade so she's literally unstoppable atm

Poor Erik hasn't had a decent knife in like 20 hours

You can also marry Rab so Jade isn't really my biggest concern.

I feel bad for never using Rab outside of a backup Kerplunk user, so I swapped him to claws and he still kinda sucks lol. I just don't see how to include him into a main party. The Flareon of DQXi?! *youtube thumbnail face*

he's basically there for midgame utility I think, definitely falls off in act 3. he's good for magic when there's no better magic user available and pearly gates is good when other party members haven't unlocked any Target All moves yet

rab is a great red mage to pair with sylvando to make up for his lack of oomphle. he also has unique stuff like insulate and pearly gates thats really useful, and his pep powers own

veronica is crazy strong, especially in act 3 but she likes to die a lot. on stronger monsters she gets oneshot all the time

another great shift in modern JRPGs has been the one from "whoever needs the most experience/ap/whatever goes in the party" to "I have new outfits or abilities for people I want to try," lol.

The worst poo poo was games having equipment that gave you bonus stats on level up so you'd have to watch XP like a hawk and shuffle things around when they got close

lol, yeah. final fantasy 6 had this going on but to its credit, the esper level up bonuses were legitimately just... bonuses. you could extremely easily destroy the game without ever thinking about them.

FF9's the same way only it doesn't even tell you about the level up bonuses lol

It's for the best because if you play without knowing they're there you'll never become aware of the system at all and never need to care about your stats one bit
