>not constantly swapping out party members to make sure they're all equally leveled

There's no need to swap out members when four of the characters make an absurdly OP team and steamroll everything

What if I don't want an OP team? What if I want to give my pals an equal shot at the spotlight?

>main character's starting weapon is the most iconic in the series
>it's also the weakest in the game and is replaced a few hours in

Then you get to enjoy bosses with hundreds of thousands of HP who spam moves that buff their stats AND recover 20% of their HP, and will OHKO you without a second thought. Welcome to hell.

wtf I have to use strategy now

What games do this tho?

Based

>MC dying too much has a hidden penalty preventing you from getting the best ending
>Game does not tell you this ever

>Game locks you out of the good ending if you KO a teammate in battle, even on accident
>Never tells you this beforehand

>main character is silent except for grunts and shouts

>game has enemies with elemental weaknesses
>there's an in-game bestiary
>bestiary doesn't show the weaknesses
>absolutely no way to tell without trying every spell on an enemy and comparing the damage

actually based punishing you for neglecting the other party members and playing full cheese mode

Fucking this. I hate having to look up stuff about weaknesses even if the enemy/boss is really cool.
