Yeah but the amount vs parrying and the counter attack bonus far outweighs it.

I wouldn't even want to attempt an early/mid game Mime without parrying. Sounds like a nightmare.

This must be something unique to expert.

I played on normal and rarely parried. Mimes were really easy too. Just break them and the fight is over. Even in the drafts and flying manor I just dodged. There were so many ways to get tons of AP, especially once you get to act 3. Most enemies either never got a turn or at most a single turn before they died.

There was only one boss I bothered parrying because I thought it looked cool, it wasn’t necessary at all though.

I plan to do NG+ on expert so maybe it will become necessary then.

Yeah there's a significant HP and enemy damage boost on Expert. Plus some get extra turns.

I'm not saying it's impossible to dodge through Expert but fights would be a lot longer.

I just started this in the opening scene was crazy. I’m just really confused. I don’t know what’s going on, but I’m very intrigued.

People disappearing in the damn town just looks rundown or something like something attacked it

This game is GOAT tier breh. I meant to ask you if you've started it.

And they explain everything eventually.

Side note, make sure you talk to everyone as often as possible at camp. There's missable quests, items, skills, etc. if you don't.

Also write in the journal.

Bet.

Did I miss it?

I’m getting back to gaming now that I survive a depression. I got so many games. I’m excited to play.
