but the one guy who always goes first always ends up picking one of the two (revive-item-user and healing-item-user) to attack, usually with the guaranteed-confusion attack
when confused, your characters perform random actions instead of the ones you wanted, so you end up either wasting a rare healing item on an unconscious character, or using a rare revival item on a character who's going to get lightly tapped and die again right after that
so basically half your party's perpetually dead and one of the other two is always confused and then GAH this is the most frustrated I've been at a video game in a while
