On the one hand, I thought the sudden powerup was bit of an asspull.
On the other hand, having the sudden powerup lead to him getting his ass stomped is somehow even less satisfying.
Same, I didn't mind the elf getting pasted offscreen, but we blew through that dungeon so fast I have no idea what the point was other than to add some monsters to the background NPCs.
Just because the Cafe houses enough monsters to destroy a sizeable portion of the world, that doesn't mean it's right for Taichi to not properly register them! :ROFLMAO:
