Is it just me, or is the boss in Chapter 9 ridiculously hard? The first sequence took a few tries, but I was lucky enough I guess Elma didn't die before I killed the minions (and stared dishing out 20k dmg?). The 2nd sequence twice I've come very close to killing him, but at 1/8 health he blows up all three Skells in succession (If Elma doesn't die early) and that is it. I've purposely avoided lowering the difficulty, but hell the game was not this difficult up until this point. And everyone is level 40.
The extra party members aren't horrible (except Hector), but overall they range from average to slightly above average. Idk I like Alexa myself. Just not enough character delved into there.
Loving the Beam Saber/ Psycho Blaster Class (Galactic Knight). Shield Trooper was disappointing and the Sword/Assault Rifle class was okay, but kind of boring. Galatic Knight is quick high melee damage. I just need to solve my problem with lack of TP.
