I feel like the auto-targeting is worse than in Sigma 2.

Not talking about the bow, but about attacks that 'should' aim at the nearest enemy when just attacking. Never had a whole lot of trouble hitting targets in Sigma 2, but in this game it constantly happens. Was playing through that crappy ass chapter from Momiji and it was a major issue throughout, but especially at the boss. Not only did the auto-aim just not work a lot of the time, but it seems to miss on purpose so that even if you 100% press into the right direction where an enemy is to hit it, it'll just attack right next to it instead.

Really I feel like they messed up the auto-targeting. I felt like it did before, but because Momiji sucks so damn much compared to every single one of Ryu's weapons it was that much more noticeable.

yeah I felt this as well. I was trying to use combos that start with the forward input on that very same boss and it would just launch me in a different direction from what I was inputting. So I figured I have to just stop using that combo and use the simple XXXX

This is definitely something with the game. I've had this happen multiple times with all bosses. Ryu will literally throw out an attack and miss the boss completely while being right next to them, and even worse is that he won't correct it and will continue to attack in that direction until the animation for the attack stops. And the camera doesn't help because you'll sometimes end up with him not facing the enemy at all (even with the setting that helps to focus on them) and so you have to manually get it back on track and also run towards the target only to miss them again and have to do that on repeat.

I suppose we'd need an actual proper comparison to truly tell. But honestly I didn't have any trouble with Mentor in Sigma 2 on that boss. It wasn't until master ninja with their tricky instant-kill throws that are hard to see coming at times.

Yeah I've also had multiple instances where I'll be fighting only 1 enemy and the camera just disengages for no apparent reason.
