I am happy to report that, after tips, guides, and rerouting, I have overcome the roadblock and am back in the Fantasian groove 😤 A lot of the fights really can only be beaten one specific way, with specific equipment and skills, so if you haven’t gotten them yet, you are just screwed!! 💀

I love Fantasian but I’m worried I’ve hit a roadblock in the difficulty 🥲 It’s been challenging but doable til now, but all the stuff around level ~50 is just really rough… And since you can’t really grind, I’m feeling discouraged. 🫠 I really want to see it through, though!! 😭

There's actually a good video essay out there detailing the historical and cultural reasons why it's always god at the end. As for fighting just dudes at the end, iirc Tales games are usually good with that?

As much as I love FF IX it has a similar issue. Where most of the boss are basically status effect puzzles and range in difficulty from to easy to impossible if you have them figured or not. This compounded by the learn what do isn’t exactly intuitive or can be locked behind secret weapons.

That’s no different to what Maddie has described and there are a few fights that were made lot harder if you didn’t have an ability unlocked from a specific weapon that was hidden and only findable once.

I've never heard people talk about FFIX'S difficulty like this game though, in FFIX you're only going to face that kind of thing in like, the extra challenge bosses, not bosses blocking your way in story which simply leveling and learning skills should suffice to deal with

been there... couple Final Fantasys come to mind (X and XIII) with their weird levelling systems and linearity so you don't know you've hit a difficulty spike til you're in too deep to do anything about it (otherwise enjoyed em tho).

great thing with RPGs you can bump into a wall of (somewhat) your own making equally sometimes you can just make yourself too powerful that all walls cease to exist 🤭

I need to come back to this game. I played it when it first dropped on Apple Arcade and I think it wasn’t finished yet. I think they kept adding content to it for like a year or so. Regardless I didn’t finish it 😅
