Tristan has 72 attack and uses slice and dice for 5 MP. Phoebe has 68 attack and uses bash for 3 MP. Who deals more damage? Phoebe more than doubles Tristan's damage on the same enemy. 3/5 stars.
Also, most enemies spam AoE attacks but don't pay MP, which makes it feel rigged.
ALSO, this game is incredibly grindy and a bit boring.
I didn't get the same effect because my movement seems to be spontaneous and explorative. I immediately knew I wasn't in control when I re-tried because my character flipped directions rapidly like the 1st time.
