I hate stealing mechanics in traditional JRPGs (hexbear.net)

Love having all my party members twiddling their thumbs defending and healing while one guy fails his steal rolls 10 times in a row

I extra love it if the steal move deals damage so you have to also worry about the target dying from too many failed attempts

I double extra love it when it's a boss battle when on top of everything else the story momentum just grinds to a halt while you fuck with a stupid RNG for 5 minutes

One thing I hate about a lot of classic Square JRPGs that you are strictly verboten from benching the designated anime boi hero. Let me run around town as Cid, Tifa or Red XIII you assholes rage-cry

Yeah you either need the Chrono Trigger treatment or an ensemble cast like FF6.

Yeah, on reflection that was something they really got into with the PS1 games

I don't mind having a forced party if it makes sense for the story. I don't like it as much when it's enforced for no apparent reason
