i have to say i raised an eyebrow when i calculated that i needed about 6-7 fingers to kill the first enemies, that definitively doesnt sound like a viable long term battle strategy
but imo they are fine, they are secretly salamanders, its visible by their eyes ;)
beside that, havent played persona so idk if that come from here but the idea of cutting stuff THEN having an action round is a bit dangerous for game tempo, like, you’re basically doubling the amount of turn you feel like you go through. thats also the 6-7 fingers bothered me, thats 2-3 turns of actions, with being able to do something only with 2 char out of 3 because if you either use as much ressources as you generate in the sacrifice phase, or you use more and always have to waste a character action because you cant stack up otherwise (not counting items or checking the enemy, imo its not part of the main gameplay loop (im biased i cannot be bothered to use an item even against the final boss in rpgs))
