like sure Mini used her final form for that one last dungeon but she didn't need it at all until then, and she probably would've been fine without it anyway given how I split up the teams. Even in her true natural state though, Mini was STILL stronger than Pina and Pii, Reflestia, Miu, even Andrea (who tore the Demon God to shreds) and she tied with Lucretia in terms of their damage outputs. So the power boost led to her becoming tied with her Queen as the second strongest of the Harpies on the team, with both coming behind Reina and her incredible power and versatility. Even without her power boosted trait Mini was very strong though since her normal trait still had a crisis mechanic and she hit like a train and the party was able to take damage readily (thanks to Reina and Chirp) so once the boss triggered that threshold her output would spike. And Mini only needed to master one T5 race and two T5 jobs to do it! And I never switched off Paradox Difficulty once, either. So that huge spike she got was really all Mini needed, and honestly even though I did use Mini prior to that and she was fine (albeit she did lag behind a bit), part of me wishes I had used her more prior to it just because I like her that much, but still-

Like I understand the idea of wishing that Mini could have her super strength even in her original form, or wishing that your favorite girls were stronger (I count my blessings that Reina genuinely held on all the way from beginning to end) or that trtr didn't scramble the balance the way he did, but I have to level with you anon I seriously have no idea what the fuck you're talking about.

I guess that's how I feel every time the topic of difficulty comes up in the final route, though....
