Caught me off guard the first time I saw an Etheric Phantom too. It then proceeded to beat my ass because I was out of shotgun ammo.

Hot take: Every RPG should give you some way of identifying HP totals unless there's a story/lore reason given to justify an undisclosed threshold.
I'll agree with that for bosses, but I really don't need to see every basic mooks health bar

Does the IMOQ quadrilogy hold up? I was thinking of hunting copies down since I'm on a PS2 kick but Quarantine's price point is giving me second thoughts on if it's worth stalking for a good deal, especially if I'm gonna be stuck with I, M and O staying incomplete
>Does the IMOQ quadrilogy hold up?
Sadly, it's very dated. It has some excellent mechanics but the actual gameplay gets old quick and the constant menu-surfing can turn you off. If you try it out, data drain often so you don't have to grind for cores later and you should be fine.
It's still a great story with excellent characters. It's got some Lain and Eva inspirations.
>Objective: Take your body back!
Xenoblade 1?
>Bosses health bar looks like this
and a fourth. fifth. sixth, seventh
then double that for a 14 stages long final boss
Can't believe I actually beat that piece of shit on ps2. The last phase got balls hard because it started tossing out instant deaths and I got really fucking scared I wasn't going to be able to keep up with it.
>敵はとても強いという

Never had this problem because I always used armageddon on the final phase, even my first time fighting nyx avatar.

Literally every game with levels will have enemies who exceed the player's level cap. Mainly because devs can't make good AI so they just turn bosses into sponges

>You kill the boss before it kills itself.
yeah but the first time you fought a Bel by punching him with a fucking phone strap on the only character who can actually deal damage out of your entire party while an endless horde of summons surrounds you and you know you can't hold out for long, that was some tight shit
