Rant I've held in for awhile (Dying right before bosses die= no exp

[Niwashi]

I've never been bothered by the loss of the boss kill XP (which really isn't much better than a standard trash mob's kill XP, and except for trials you'll generally have gotten plenty of them by the time you reach the boss).

Where it does bother me is on relic books where the entire reward for the dungeon rests on being alive when the final boss dies. Doing an entire dungeon, only to get nothing at all to show for it because you died in the last few seconds is probably the most frustrating thing I've seen in this game.

but i got credit when i returned to the entrance before my party finished off the boss. i was alive, at the entrance of the dungeon, and got my credit for the atma weapon

Thanks. Good to know. I'd thought I needed to still be there in the boss room, so didn't return to the entrance. (Well, one of the times it happened was was literally in the last couple seconds of the fight, so I doubt I'd have even had time to return. But it happened another time when I could have if I'd realized that would work.)
