Nope. Can't do it. I cheesed Sebastian's phase by maxing out the difficulty to skip it, but Elisa's paw grab stunlocks me over and over.
Finally beat it (phew!). Sebastian's phase is kinda evil, I find myself pressing 3 to skip the last part of it as he almost never misses. Phase 1 is too easy but I suppose that's the point of a noble not taking you seriously. I will say, the animations and story of this update are exquisite, especially the 1 friendship star ending.
