It's a really good game, I just don't like how the Susie - Kris doesn't really get any real closure. They go the whole fight refusing to hurt Kris and suddenly going "screw that" to chasing them. Ralsei has more luck with someone they've never met before after Kris all but throwing the fight?
If this is going to be addressed in a sequel, that's fine but left a bad taste in an otherwise great fight. And also Carol Knight is very based.
I should probably clarify what happens offscreen during phase 3
Kris, the entire fight, is trying to NOT hurt Susie and Ralsei, their only damaging attack also drops healing items
Susie's last 'talk' dialogue reminds them of their first fight with her, and how she can be made tired and pacified, ending the fight and not hurting her
when she is woken up, she is out of the 'battle', and so does not have to 'take turns' anymore.
She takes advantage of this to push Kris out of the battle as well, leaving Ralsei to finish the fight with Carol
Offscreen during Ralsei and Carol's fight, Susie is essentially just keeping Kris distracted so that they can't interfere with Ralsei the same way she did to them, she's not attacking them, just keeping them away from the fight.
I can see why that isn't the assumption most people would come to just watching the fight.
