If Ifrit deals less damage with Hellfire on your weaker version, then you don't get the experience of having to cure everyone before they eat another attack. You don't deal with the real situations that heavily damaging attacks will bring.

So you beat one star Ifrit. That isn't going to teach you squat.
Actually, it can. Stress actually makes it harder for me to memorize things.

Am I asking to be spoon-fed the highest-difficulty fight? No. I'm simply asking for a learning curve in the fight that will allow me to memorize the circumstances without being stressed so much. When I was doing Dzemael Darkhold, sometimes, I would forget where I was supposed to stand when fighting the Ogre. Behind? To the side? In front? Derp?

Seriously. I hate it when people think everybody has a perfect memory and has the ability to be just as skilled as they are...
