Arc the Lad: Twilight of the Spirits

[Minosheep]

Got this game on Saturday. Very fun. Only minor gripes, though, with the last boss being nigh on impossible. He spits out all these little eyeballs that you have to kill to lower his defenses. Once his defense is lowered, you can attack him, but it's hard to do, because he usually gets a turn before you do. On his turn, he fires this gigantic beam that does about 300 (To characters who have less than 300, in most cases) to everyone, and raises his defense again. The problem is that you start the battle with 70 MP on average(Some characters have more, as many as 110) which you can't recharge during the fight unless you pick up some items that the mini eyeballs drop. The Ressurrection spell takes 20 of said MP...

The guy himself is no pushover. On average, a character will take 90 from him when his defenses are lowered... My two strongest, Darc and Kharg, take slightly more-- Darc doing close to 200 and Kharg doing about 150. The problem is, if too many characters get all up on him like that, he drains health from anyone near him. About 100 from each character, 25% of which goes back to him. With six characters attacking him at once, he gets an average of 150 back. Might not sound like much, but it also leaves your characters injured severely. Next time he drains health, he'll kill anyone who's near him, unless that person happens to be Darc or Kharg. Biggest problem: I usually end up with only my two strongest left. It sucks, because the boss likes to go 1.5 times to your one. Three attacks to my two. Five attacks to my 3.5. Ten to my seven. It adds up quickly. One hundred to my 70. Soon, the field is so infested with those little eyeballs that pop out faster than you can kill them, and you're low on HP, MP, and patience.
