Is it ok to be addicted to parrying?

[ᓚᘏᗢ]

I play on normal difficulty. From the very beginning I got addicted to parrying and decided to parry everything. I never dodge. If my party receives any damage, I reload and try again. And again. And again. Until I persevere and get that sweet No Damage +20% caption on victory screen. All attribute points went in might, as you guessed.

The most difficult enemies so far were Golgra (skipped her) and the Lampmaster in his second stage, in which I struggled to parry almost any of hist multi-hit attacks, even after a couple of hours of trying. In the end I did beat him when he made a jumpable attack and the damage of my party was enough to finish him before his second turn.

After 20+ hours of playing (some of it off Steam) I'm starting Act 2.

Is it ok to play like this? Are there any pitfalls I'm gonna encounter if I continue?

I see no problem with it. It's your playstyle. Do what you want, and have fun.

No pitfalls, but putting everything in might is a noob trap unless you do mean making the game even harder due to bad builds.

Well, in a playstyle with parrying everything and thus receiving no damage, Vitality and Defense seems unneeded. So I guess it should be disttibuted between Might, Agility and Luck in some ratio?

I didn't practice dodging at all, so it's not like I have much choice here, is it? 😃

They JRPG only weebs will take issue with this but it's fine to try to parry everything. Dodge what you want and parry the rest

I talk with Esquie on a weekly basis for my parry addictions. It's okay to seek help...

"WHEEE" - Esquie, probably.

"Time for a swim swim" this time. It helps to distract...
