The games ain't hard, anon. So you can keep saying "skill issue," but these are just my honest observations. Love the tunes, the art, the dungeons. Hate the actual shit fucking gameplay of spamming the same move combos on trash mobs the entire game until a shortcut is found or a section is mapped, then warping back to town (because it's faster), then going over the same pathways again and fighting the same shitter mobs.
Something like Lost Shinjuku will have you going through certain parts 20+ times, unavoidably, if you're trying to 100% map it.

>IS clearly likes the idea of having low level units who join late but have a potential "payoff" for training them.
Because it's just not true. It's wishful thinking imposed upon the game design by a player base eager to see patterns in the grass. To the point that you're claiming Sophia is "supposed" to be an Est while acknowledging she fails to meet a key condition of an Est (great growths). It's loony. If there is no Est, players will make one up. If they can't make one up, they'll supply an explanation, a mitigating factor. Instead of accepting it's just not a real, intentional thing.

Same deal with the Oifey. Not real. Jagen is, not Oifey.
