Nick,

I agree ... but part of the difference in perception is due to the difference in difficulty setting. When I played through on normal difficulty, quite frankly, I didn't have much trouble with any of the battles except for a little bit with Yux the first time, and then Malavon. On heart of fury mode, things changed dramatically! The high summoner became a MAJOR problem - because (as has been pointed out in a much earlier thread) his "summoned" monsters are the result of a script and not a spell and therefore are not subjected to the normal eight hour time limit. So the typical tactic of hit and run, rest, hit and run, rest - repeat as needed - generates a HUGH number of summoned monsters to fight! I swear that the HS's room was stacked floor to ceiling with trolls and lizardmen when we FINALLY got there.
