Switching characters not working...?

[majinsystem]

Hey there, bought the game on release. Love it so far. I do have one question about an feature in the game. In combat, I can switch the character's position with square (using Ps controller). I was expecting the characters to stay in this new position each turns pretty much like in Paper Mario: TTYD but instead, when I do it with Loaf, his whole turn get skiped and he got back in front after the party member finished his turn. I don't know if it a bug or I don't get this feature at all! Anybody got an idea on how it work?

Thank you!

I got the same bug. Find it annoying, but just fighting on around it. Does kinda make Partner HP pointless as it stands with them unable to be hit unless you mess up the defend command.

Got the same bug. I thought thath's just how it works.

I have also had this bug. During battle pressing X and Y (on an xbox controller) switches the partner to the front where they perform their action then Loaf switches back to the front and is attacked by the enemies. I eventually thought that partner HP was just a resource to be expended to recover WP with Defend.

Another related bug is that if you select an Attack then back out without attacking you can not use either switch.

I have submitted my save file and a video to the provided email.

Yeah, I've also notice this second bug while testing the first issue. Between your report and mine, let's hope it will help

Seems this bug is still present as of version 3.2

It's sad, this is literally the first game I've played where the bugs SPECIFICALLY have made me drop the game in anger. I managed to get through the Prince Ember softlocking ♥♥♥♥ but a BASIC CORE GAME MECHANIC NOT WORKING is unacceptable, especially when it costs you between half an hour to an hour of time to work around (The fight I was at would require a ludicrous amount of backtracking to fix due to this mechanic not ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ working) ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Christ.

Bought this on Switch a few days ago. How is this bug still happening 2 years later? Also got another bug where the tool bag is missing in the mines. I haven't played a game in such a poor state for a long time.

So this IS a bug and I've been convincing myself that it was just the way the game worked.

If you switch the turn order, your buddy starts first but then Loaf gets attacked right after making switching the turn order useless.
