The thing is that these character developments mostly happen in one of the games 150k scenes of "everyone meets up in a big room and 90% of the characters present don't say anything" scenes, or they happen in missable optional events. I'm honestly kind of shocked just how many pivotal character moments have been in these bonding events.

There's very little in the way of character progression in the minute to minute gameplay and cutscenes. Everyone is just "there". But as I said, kind of inevitable since with the absurd cast size. This series could have SERIOUSLY shined with Tales style skits. Occasionally you get some on the field chatter, but it's typically not of value and generally you don't even hear it all unless you stand there and wait for it to finish, since it's always before a map transition.

Also, while I'm venting gripes, it kind of erases all the tention of any scene where things are looking bad for your group when literally every single time, EVERY TIME, a surprise character or group launches an attack from off screen out of nowhere before coming in to push them back or hold them off. It's overused to the point of parody here.

Like, I'm just waiting for everyone in your party to be kneeling in the ground surrounded by Soldats, when all of a sudden, "Maximum Spider!". Oh shit, it's Spiderman! Also, Phantom Thief B is there too, who it turns out was Batman all along.
