Funnily enough when you go back to fighting the Ruina afterwards its like a breath of fresh air
Wasn't expecting Big Duo to be the last licensed boss before the finale either, obviously was way less of a pain than Zuul
This game must be an absolute slog on a no upgrade run, at least Perfectio doesn't have HP Regen.

Had fun, Proto Garland kicks ass, and I think the issues with making units tanky people have described over the years was greatly exaggerated. Every super robot except plain old Mazinger has some kind of special defense and most mooks are only scary if they get up in your face, across the whole game enemy ranged moves have shit accuracy or low power, so you can literally bodyblock them from getting to anyone actually vulnerable.
I was even able to get Godmars to dodge shit by the end although it wasn't as easy as in Z.
