i just finished beating shadar and the cat after he got possessed. the boss battles have gotten really boring. they involve me running around casting the mornstar spell while my party acts as fodder. boss battle have been fun overall though, so this doesn't bother me much.

my main issue though is that i know i'm almost done with the game (main story) and i feel like my party is only now starting to get badass. i spent all this time leveling up familiars and getting upgrades and only now are they starting to feel powerful. none of them have had all their abilities unlocked. most are in their final form in the mid 30s to 40s. i've had 2-3 of them that i haven't used at all because i needed to get them leveled and be strong enough. now that i can finally use them i'm almost done with the game. i just feel like the payoff isn't there. it'd be awesome if there was like 15-20 more hours of content for me to beastmode my way through with this party (new areas/towns/dungeons and not just boss fights).
