Well I will keep it in mind going forward, as I said. I play through all these mechanics myself quite a bit to make sure I'm happy with where they are, and both I and most of the other feedback I've got were fine with Daze as it was. But people obviously have different preferences. Sorry to hear about the ambush though: if you really feel it was JUST luck, then you may not have fully "got" the basics of how battles work in the game, which might be contributing to your frustration as well. But it is normal that some of the bigger fights will require a few attempts, just usually, hopefully, not that many.
