I vote Hybrid, putting the first couple points in HP followed by the rest all in MP.

Is it just me or does it seem like the game is blaming Vi 100% for what went down with her leaving, rather than admitting that if someone has been teased to the point of snapping and running off then maybe the other person bears some fault as well?

So I came across this cute little animation and I felt like the thread would appreciate it:

Yeah, I'd posted the first bit a while ago when the creator first tweeted it. Nice to see they got it finished, it's very well done.

I personally hate hopeless boss fights, especially under two conditions (which often go hand in hand):
  • It's not signposted well
  • They let you waste resources on it
In both instances they waste the player's time, either directly (keep retrying because you think you can win) or indirectly (now you have to regather whatever you wasted on it, and hope you didn't use anything rare).

I blame my extreme dislike for them on the game MagiNation. I wasted a good week when I was a kid trying to get past what I thought was just a particularly hard boss fight, where a previously joke character was shown to be an actual threat and it seemed like I was making progress. And since the game had already trained me in what losing a fight meant I just immediately reset as soon as I lost, because I didn't need to sit through the Game Over screen. It was pure chance that I eventually decided to let it hit the Game Over screen rather than just continuing on for a bit longer and just giving up on the game. I still love the game but that moment sticks out as extremely lovely to me.
