Frequency: Sometimes
World name: Siren
Character name: Maeve Punchfaces
Retainer name: N/A
NPC name: N/A
Monster name: All normal enemies (trash mobs found throughout
Class/Level: Monk/100
Party or solo: Solo
In-game time: 09:10AM PST
Area and coordinates: Deep Dungeon Eureka Orthos, various areas (sloped hallways between rooms inside the Deep Dungeon, commonly found on earlier floor sets such as 21-29)
Housing: N/A
Steps:
1. Engage in melee combat with an enemy in a sloped hallway between rooms inside the Deep Dungeon Eureka Orthos. When standing at a point in the hallway where the slope is very steep (further away from the center of hallway and nearer to one of the rooms that the hallway connects, the issue is rarer in the center of the hallways, because the slope is less steep there), and standing at a noticeably different elevation to the enemy due to the slope of the floor, even when it looks like the player is within melee distance, melee attacks often fail. The animation begins, then stops, and the attack doesn't complete. Moving to stand next to the enemy such that the elevation of both is more similar on the slope of the terrain fixes the issue.

But this shouldn't be an issue at all, and is incredibly frustrating when it occurs. While I appreciate having more diverse environment like sloped hallways rather than the typically flat Deep Dungeons, I'd rather not have to deal with this issue in the next Deep Dungeon added to the game at the expense of more interesting terrain design. This issue is present in other environments in the game as well (such as the open world, for instance: standing on rocks in the environment that put the player at a higher elevation than an enemy), but it's VERY noticeable in Eureka Orthos due to how often there are sloped hallways on the earlier floor sets.

To add to this, this is not an issue unique to EO and i believe its a reason they make boss arenas flat typically. Even in FATEs, if the ground is sloped enemies may be considered out of the line of sight and max melee range is always reduced because max melee seems to account for the y-axis when in most situations it should only account for the x and z axis.
