One hell of a difficulty spike, so I've spent the entire day getting stuff ready for a 2nd attempt at this witch, via copying a build I saw from a youtube video. I will DESTROY this witch.
I feel like the last couple Star Oceans have these weird difficulty spikes. In Star Ocean: Integrity and Faithlessness there was a moment early in the game where a character had to do something on a computer and you had to protect them. No matter what I did the fight would start and end in 5 seconds with a game over because the enemies would zerg rush the person on the computer and kill them. No way to stun the enemies, no way to kill them that fast. I tried to heal at the very start of the fight but they kill the person before it even pops off. I looked on GameFaqs and they said not only is this fight extremely hard...it happens MULTIPLE times.

So I figured I was just under leveled. I gained 5 more levels which was a chore cause mobs give virtually no XP at that level and they STILL get killed in seconds. I quit immediately after that.
