About the run:

This run, for the most part, utilizes what I've decided to call """RNG routing"""
Basically what this means is I fight the boss using the same RNG seed every single time, meaning the boss is all but guaranteed to behave the same way as long as I also behave the same way. Basically, if I defend on turn 1 and the boss uses a regular attack, every single time I restart the fight and defend on turn 1 the boss will always use the same action in response as long as the RNG hasn't changed, the same goes for turn 2, turn 3, etc etc.
---
Rules:

- Not a rule per se, but this run was played on the Normal difficulty mode.

- Only Jenna is allowed to perform meaningful actions during battle. For battles where the rest of the party is forced, I have to fail Summons every turn until Jenna is the only one left alive. Failing a Summon is the only true "do nothing" command in the game, as Defending makes you take less damage and is considered a meaningful action.

- No Djinn may be on Standby when a battle starts to prevent turn 1 Summons, unless they're to be used for the tactic mentioned above.

- No items may be used in battle, except for the Trident against Poseidon as this is 100% required for the fight to be beatable.

About the battle:

Flame Dragons are honestly kinda lame. They're still tough and pack a punch but there's nothing all that new or scary about them compared to Karst and Agatio proper. Death Scythe is gone and the threat of instant death went with it, meaning I now longer have to pray whenever the smaller dragon is about to attack. Rising Dragon and Meteor Blow are still really strong however so it's not like the difficulty went away completely but not having to deal with Death Scythe AND one of those moves on the same turn is nice.
