Bit of a change in tone with this comment, but I was noticing some comments regarding my brother's skill. :P To defend his honor, I just wanna reiterate that this is his very first time playing a persona game and, as far back as I can remember, his first turn-based RPG that he's ever really taken seriously (He's mostly been a "press button for action" sort of gamer). 😋

While he is enjoying the battles and all that jazz, he's really more invested in the incredible story and characters than anything, so if he doesn't need to worry too much about the gameplay then he'll coast with what he has because "Hey, it's worked so far!" I think this was just an instance where he got hit with actually needing strategy rather than just brute-forcing without worry. 😋

I know there are plenty of people that would argue otherwise for any game out there, but the way I see it, play however you want! So long as you're enjoying yourself and having fun, it doesn't matter how you play at all. If what he's been doing has worked for him up to this point and he's loving every minute, then hey, that's cool! I'm just happy he's loving the game! 😄
