The Mook are in the game just to get robbed. Weak. At least they could have put up a fight, if you chose to attack them. Npc battles in Crusaders and Bane were much tougher than in 8.
The alliance felt unfinished. The Umpani and T'rang just sit there after you unite them.
Lastly, Rodan wasn't nearly as tough as he was back on Guardia. What happened? Still, you have to love his level-up phrase, a reference to your first meeting with him in Crusaders.
