>>40533789>so developers made the decision to have party members scaleThat's not what I'm talking about.
Literally all 8 will get Experience every battle. It has nothing to do with me getting Veronica set to Level 99 in Act 3 despite having been 48 at the end of 1 (although personally I was actually disappointed, I was fully prepared to grind her up despite having done the other 7 in Act 2).
Skill Points are almost entirely connected to level by the way meaning she immediately had all but a few SP needed. Thanks for telling me I no longer need to bother with you since you haven't played what you're talking about.
Anyway, they're both JRPGs and Pokémon is heavily inspired by shit like Final Fantasy and DQ. Being made more like them in some regards makes sense.
I don't even disagree with you about it being an option and go even further than you were so I don't know why you'd bother going out of your way to make yourself look like such a fool.
