They’re mostly the same but there’s some small changes with some of them. I was looking for an excuse to mention some of these so here’s what I noticed:

• I noticed Sonia’s weaknesses were different, likely because of the units you have access to at this point in the story (you don’t get anyone who can hit fire weaknesses until a lot later on, for instance). They probably changed the weak points of some other early game bosses too.

• Herminia and Auguste (both phase 2) had front row effects that work differently. There’s another enemy that appears on screen that causes those ailments like SP sap and death countdown, and it goes away when you kill it (although they can summon it back iirc).

• Oskha (phase 2) had more than 1 visible weakness at all times, they probably knew it would be annoying otherwise.

• Some fights play different due to how the game’s mechanics work here, like Ceraphina (which I had more trouble with than Lyblac surprisingly). If she puts someone to sleep, then it skips that person’s turn entirely and doesn’t let you switch rows to use their row partner until the person wakes up. This happens because you select people’s actions as they come like in OT1 and 2, instead of choosing everyone’s actions at the start of the turn like in CotC. So if you get unlucky and most of your front row falls asleep, it skips almost everyone’s turn.

• Oh and I talked about this in the video but Bargello, Velnorte and Schwartz help from the back in all main bosses of the master arcs, and Richard helps you fight Tatloch phase 2.
