Leon゠Helsing:
So why did the translation patch miss those things in particular?

Serela:
Miss what? The reference to key color?

...that's honestly a good question, but w/e. It doesn't matter at least. Not worth putting out an entire patch update for.

This was the primary source of my strong distaste for this game. All drops being exceedingly rare didn't bother me that much, but when boss battle after boss battle after boss battle resulted in conversations with my friends that went "How do I beat X?" "Use Alice" "I don't use Alice" "Then... ??????????", it made me lose all interest, because all of my enjoyment of the game stemmed from the large amount of character and party customization. I believe that if a game is going you present you with as many shiny toys as this one did, then boss battles should not boil down to "use this same single gadget over and over and over again". Satori especially is a kick in the teeth in this regard.

Oh right the final fight in the main serious FORCES YOU TO GET ONE OF THE HARDER SKILLS for Satori.... and both are defensive.

If you mean she's bad, it's more that being a blue mage makes her less clear on how to use. I almost never took her out of my party, so awesome. <3

But yes, Alice being the only dedicated tanking character makes it really hard to -not- have her in the party for any challenging thing, namely almost every boss; spamming Parrar gives you way, WAY too much defense boost on the whole party to not have it, not to mention Little Legion. She's your party's durability. Apart from a few bosses you can blinktank, once you're a decent way into the game there's really no way around it... you HAVE to have Alice for almost every bossfight or you're going to have a very bad time.

Forces? Nah, it's totally optional. She can actually do an awesome job in the first party if you got Mad Thunder, which is damn near the strongest elec attack in the game (including postgame) yet you can pick it up on like Stage 13 from Iku easily... if you take Satori into that fight, at least. Satori -is- pretty helpful in the second phase with Reflect Wall/Shield Wall/Healing/Leaf Shield/Dark manip though. Man, she really turns into some beastly support later on.
